At the recent European Green Mobility Summit, Liu Jiandong, chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce to the EU (CCCEU), laid out a three-pronged strategy to tackle the challenges facing the electric vehicle (EV) industry. His message resonated across borders, highlighting fairness, security, and cooperation as key pillars.
"A level playing field is essential," Liu noted, pointing to recent data showing EV sales in the EU surged by 45% year-on-year. "We must ensure regulations and tariffs don’t favor one market over another."
The chairman also emphasized security concerns, urging transparent cybersecurity standards to protect connected vehicles from potential threats. Collaboration, he argued, can drive innovation: by pooling R&D resources and establishing cross-border supply chains, companies can accelerate battery breakthroughs and scale production sustainably.
This vision aligns with growing calls for deeper industrial partnerships between Europe and the Chinese mainland, where EV manufacturing capacity is soaring. Leaders say such ties could unlock shared investments in gigafactories, green logistics, and skills training programs—benefiting startups in Berlin and battery pioneers in Shanghai alike.
For entrepreneurs, policymakers, and tech fans tracking the EV revolution, Liu’s roadmap offers a clear path: champion fair trade, safeguard digital infrastructure, and build bridges across industries. The result? A more resilient, inclusive electric future that powers up global ambitions.
