On November 20, 2025, news emerged that the Ministry of Finance, working in tandem with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, has formulated the "Draft Government Procurement Demand Standards for New Energy Vehicles" and is currently inviting public feedback. These standards are specifically tailored for government procurement initiatives concerning new energy vehicles. The term "new energy vehicles" here encompasses pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (including extended-range models), and fuel cell (hydrogen-powered) vehicles. This phrasing aligns more closely with the common terminology and cultural context in English-speaking environments, making it more accessible and understandable for a broader audience.
