Two upcoming projects aim to push the country’s EV industry forward – but without changes to the law, experts fear they could perpetuate local harms.
From EV efficiency to recycled materials, manufacturers are redesigning a core product to manage risk and meet rising expectations.
Emergency measures include 30 per cent fee cut for EVs, fleet targets for transport firms and remote work for civil servants.
Achieving a 17 per cent carbon intensity cut by 2030 will be challenging given rising power demand, industrial growth and economic uncertainty.

If the current war creates a prolonged oil crisis, there will be more downward pressure on oil use – and an equal acceleration in China of electric car production at home, with an associated surge in exports.
China wants to lead the climate agenda on its own terms – exporting clean tech and influence, while sidestepping tougher cuts and accountability.

Trade wars destroy the planet
Given that China is the world’s largest emitter and has a high carbon intensity, some assume that its trade war with the United States, which has shifted production to third countries, would have environmental benefits. In fact, the conflict has increased carbon dioxide emissions in developing and advanced economies alike.
China’s climate pivot has been shaped by its survival strategy, and this is now quickly redefining its resilience in the 21st century. Whether that power endures will depend on Asean – arguably China’s closest testbed for clean energy development. The recent Asean Summit and Apec meetings suggest China’s successes in climate and development will see a far larger reach beyond its shores.

‘Decarbonisation does not cost seconds on the track’: Mercedes F1 sustainability head on the race to net zero
Formula 1 emits the carbon equivalent of 30,000 homes as it roars through 21 countries in a season. Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 head of sustainability Alice Ashpitel says the sport's ambition to decarbonise by 2030 is not unrealistic.
