Since 2013 there is strong impetus in terms of both policy and practice. Policies such as Suggestions of State Council on Speeding Up the Development of Energy Saving and Environment Protection industry, Notice on Continuously Promoting the Application of New Energy Vehicles have been issued successively to stimulate the research and application of the new energy vehicle and designate the city promotion of the new energy vehicle as the main channel from 2013 to 2015.

At present automobile industry relies greatly on investment but the investment on the technology research of the new energy vehicle industry varies significantly inside and outside China. The new energy vehicle industry in Fujian should maintain both independence and opening at the same time for the further development. Presently Fujian province and Germany are working on a new strategic cooperation in technology and marketing.
