Boosted by the growing global appetite for electrified transportation and a rebound in major overseas markets, China's new energy vehicle exports keep gaining momentum, playing an increasingly important role in accelerating the global automotive transition.
According to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), new energy passenger vehicles accounted for more than half of China's total passenger vehicle exports for the first time in April, reaching 52.7 percent.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) also reported that the country's NEV exports reached 430,000 units during the month, up 110 percent year-on-year.
The strong performance comes as consumers worldwide increasingly embrace electric vehicles amid persistently elevated fuel costs.
