In this connection, the magazine was among the first to look at connected, autonomous, shared and electric (CASE) vehicles back in 2015 and identified market challengers from other sectors the next year. Its supply chain-focused award, Lingxuan, was established in 2016 and was then transformed into an industry-wide summit in 2020.
- Liu believes that the market share of alternative fuel vehicles will continue to increase, with electric vehicles being the main drivers of growth, followed by hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicles. China is likely to see breakthroughs in the self-driving space in 2025.
