In Southeast Asia, lightweight electric scooters are helping to ease the pressures of urban commuting. In Europe, Chinese electric vehicles are winning widespread acclaim for their impressive range and intelligent driving features. Meanwhile, in Latin America, electric buses navigating city streets have become a new fixture of the urban landscape.

Green transportation is taking off around the world, with Chinese-made solutions playing a key role. Affordable, eco-friendly vehicles are giving people more travel options while reshaping transportation systems and driving the global transition to a low-carbon future. At the same time, Chinese new energy companies are building factories abroad, creating numerous jobs and allowing local communities to benefit from industrial upgrading.

By supplying the world with affordable and high-quality green products and providing technology to boost energy efficiency, Chinese manufacturing is fostering win-win partnerships through localized production and operations. Going global, it is becoming an active part of countries' transportation systems and a vivid example of the shift toward greener transportation.
