*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
China aims to phase out conventional internal combustion (ICE) engine car sales by 2035, with its car market to be split evenly between new energy vehicles (NEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The new goal reaffirms China’s ambition for vehicle electrification, while endorsing HEVs as the bridge between ICE cars and NEVs. This Insight provides our analysis of a few major policies/factors supporting the new goal and our projection of liquids demand from China’s light vehicles. - What is China's “dual credit” scheme and will it be an effective policy tool? - What are the expected growth sectors for electric vehicles? - Does China have electric vehicle charging networks to meet the roadmap? - What will be the impact on oil demand in the next decade and a half?
