RhAF e.V. event #152: E-Mobility Market Development in China & Germany | 中德电动汽车市场的发展现状机遇与挑战 (Speaker: Mr. Tjan, JP Contagi) Feb 9th (Sat), @Düsseldorf , Details: event poster/introd.)
[ENG.] The Introduction:
The year of 2018 continues lightening the new energy vehicles (NEVs) industry (also known as E-Mobility industry). Studies show that since 2010, the Chinese government has introduced a number of policies to accelerate the growth of the given industry (Zhang and Qin, 2018); in October 2018, the state-owned car company, China’s FAW Group, received the largest loan ($149 billion) in automotive history from the Chinese banks to reassure auto sales continue growing. Large investment put to improve producing the NEVs and the development of relevant sectors such as lithium-ion batteries. Giving more concerns from the governments on environmental impact and climate change, the E-mobility industry has become the Chinese government and companies’ high-priority and the section of “strategic emerging industry”. Now there are hundreds of NEV makers. The market is blooming yet with many new challenges, including buyers’ worries about car maintenance and the replacement of the batteries, etc (CSIS, Kennedy and Qiu, 2018).
Similarly, in Germany, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) makes the E-automobile market one policy priority for the federal government. As its National Electromobility Development Plan of 2009 states, Germany also wants to be the lead market and provider for E-Mobility in a near future; and to have one million electric vehicles on the road by 2020. Combined with its ambitious goal of reaching a reduction on carbon dioxide emission by 40 percent, as said Mr. Christian Heep, the Vice President of German Federal Association for eMobility, “there will be a boost for the purchase incentive and for Germany, there will be a huge growth market to be conquered” (AHK, NEAS Guide 2017/2018).
In the light of such industrial changes and the fast-growing trend to new technology adaption in both China and Germany, the Rhine Academic Forum e.V. cordially invites Mr. Martin Tjan, the Managing Partner of Swiss-German Executive Search Company, JP contagi, to give us a fresh outlook of the current NEVs industrial development, and provides some latest findings from daily cross-border businesses, for companies and international investors who are keen to this new blooming industry with uncertainties.
The presentation will be held on Feb 9, 2019 at 2-4pm in Ode GmbH (1st floor), Düsseldorf. The content shall include an overview of NEV landscape in China and Germany, the significant development on the latest relevant technologies R&D and coverage of charging stations, sustainability and ecological footprint, how German companies and their Chinese counterparts set strategic plan for their businesses, and how non-Automotive companies like Google and Apple change the vision and peoples’ habit on auto purchase, etc.
Considering the limited space for maximum 20 guests, the event is registration based. If you would like to participate, please send an email to info@rhineforum.org to secure your reservation.
