| At 200 years of automotive history, the oil as its main source of power hasn't been shaken by any other forms of energy. With the rapid development of Chinese economy, China has become the world's second largest energy consumer. In 2007 the total Chinese oil imports is only behind the United States and Japan, and China's external dependence on crude oil are rising each year. Chinese auto industry grows rapidly. Automobile oil consumption growth will be the most important factor. But the oil as a non-renewable energy reserves is limited, not inexhaustible. The oil energy shortage crisis is close at hand. The oil price will be higher and higher. It can be seen that the automobile industry will meet great challenges and threats if they still depend only on oil fuel. At the same time, with the advancement of our society, people pay more and more attention on living environment. The automobile exhaust emission standards become more stringent around the world. People show great concern on Air pollution and urban environmental problems. Therefore, all energy-saving emission reduction has become an important component of the country's energy policy. Under the pressure of oil price and increased environmental stress, the development of new energy automotive industry has become the inevitable choice.Reference to authoritative statistics, the paper analyses the status quo of the global energy as well as and the structure and characteristics of conventional sources of energy, points out the seriousness of the problem of oil shortage, combines with environmental protection requirements, gets the background of the development of new energy vehicles. Then the paper analyses the status of the global new energy vehicles in details, in order to find a new correct direction for the future of new energy automotive industry.Finally, the paper wants to provide a detailed analysis on China's new energy auto industry and the characteristics of the development process, compare China and western developed countries in order to find out the restrictions on Chinese new energy automotive industry development. And then make reasonable and practical policy in order to promote a healthily and rapidly development to Chinese new energy automobile industry. |
