Clean Fuel and Green Auto Leaders to Converge in China at Alternative Fuels & New Energy Vehicles 2010 International Summit
Annual Theme: to Break through Current Bottlenecks in Promoting Industrialization
SHANGHAI, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- While the world economy struggled under the weight of the financial crisis in the previous year, global major auto markets were confronted with tremendous opportunities and challenges brought about by the low-carbon economy and new energy revolution. Hence, the alternative fuel and new energy vehicle industries have sparked the interest of global automakers seeking to gain strategic high ground.
While the global automobile market is re-shuffling, the world is focusing more and more on China. Although the dual support of Chinese policies and funding have helped substantially, China's alternative fuel vehicle industry is still in its infancy. The industrialization process may have many bottlenecks. Relevant Chinese enterprises lag behind in the fields of internal combustion engines, integration techniques and control systems of hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, applications of lithium-ion batteries, motors and drive systems.
There has recently been an explosion of support for the development of alternative fuels and new energy vehicles, which will allow for more influential technological breakthroughs and rapid development in technical innovation, policy support, market competition and overall progress. It is estimated that biomass renewable energy vehicles will be strongly supported by governments and the public at large, though natural gas vehicles will continue to be widely used in cities and some specific regions. The market share of hybrid electric vehicles is destined to increase, and electric vehicles will become common in urban transport and tourist attractions.
Following the success of the industry flagship event - Alternative Fuels & Vehicles Asia 2009 - the Global Leaders Institute will be hosting the definitive 2nd annual summit - Alternative Fuels & New Energy Vehicles 2010 - May 18th-19th, 2010 in Beijing, China. This industry-leading summit, jointly organized by the Oil Products and Clean Fuels branches of the Chinese Society for Internal Combustion Engines, the State Key Laboratory of Automotive Safety and Energy, Tsinghua University and the Global Leaders Institute, is definitely the region's premier event covering all the major issues in the fields of alternative fuels and new energy vehicles.
Alternative Fuels & New Energy Vehicles 2010 is the only executive summit in the Asia Pacific region designed to cover both the alternative fuel and new energy vehicle industries to accelerate industrialization. The summit will provide attendees with a golden opportunity to meet top-level policy-makers and executives, and to truly understand the current developmental and strategic direction of the auto industry from a variety of international viewpoints. Also, it presents the rare chance to meet with fuel suppliers to discuss cutting-edge innovations and exciting business ventures.
