Congratulations! International Green Vehicle Congress will be held on Feb 26-28, 2012, in Hong Kong. And post-event site tour to Shenzhen in China mainland on Feb 29, 2012.
Reducing CO2 emissions is a growing challenge for the transport sector. With rapid urbanization in many countries, energy consumption and CO2 emissions by urban transport are increasing quickly.
China is boldly aiming to be the worldwide leader in alternative technology vehicles. China's new ten-year investment plan (2011-2020) sets aside over 100 billion yuan ($14.7 billion U.S. at the current exchange rate) for the development and production of alternative technology vehicles. The plan is expected to be approved later this month and should go a long way towards helping China reach its annual production goal of 500,000 hybrids and EVs.
In Europe, Germany's bid to lead the way in electric transportation will be supported by an additional €1 billion in research and development aid, a doubling of the government’s budget for EV by 2013.
In Asia, Japan still has the biggest share of the worldwide lithium-ion battery market. The Japanese government plans to invest 21 billion yen over seven years in the project targeting development of batteries capable of delivering a threefold extension in EV mileage per charge.
In United States, the Obama administration today will award $2.4 billion in grants to 48 projects that promote advanced battery and electric vehicle manufacturing, according to administration officials.
Considering this emerging and global market, International Green Vehicle Congress 2012 will be held on Feb 26th-28th, 2012, in Hong Kong. IGVC 2012 will focus on the leading technologies, global market and policy, regulation understanding. Sincerely look forward to your participation.
