Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the Passenger Vehicle Association, publicly stated that the trend of making new energy vehicles increasingly larger constitutes a waste of resources, as larger dimensions and heavier vehicle weights lead to rising energy consumption, contradicting the industry's energy conservation and emission reduction goals. This perspective has sparked widespread industry discussion and provides overseas buyers with an important lens for understanding the direction of China's NEV market.
