中國成爲世界最大新能源電動汽車市場

Electric car sales in China are expected to reach 220,000 to 250,000 this year, surpassing the US to rank first worldwide, China Association of Automobile Manufactures (CAAM) forecast.

據中國汽車工業協會預計，中國新能源汽車今年銷量將有望達到22萬-25萬輛，或超過美國成爲世界最大新能源汽車市場。

Worldwide electric cars sales will hit 600,000 and the figure for the US market is estimated to be 180,000, said Xu Yanhua, deputy secretary-general of CAAM.

中國汽車工業協會副祕書長許豔華表示，全球新能源汽車銷量今年將達60萬輛，美國全年銷量預計爲18萬輛。

Although China has achieved rapid development in electric vehicles, quality instead of quantity should be focused on for the sustainable development of the industry, Xu told an industry conference.

許豔華在一次產業會議上說，雖然中國已經在新能源汽車這一領域實現了快速發展，但是接下來'質量取代數量'應該是行業可持續性發展的重中之重。

In particular, vehicle safety and the quality of batteries should be carefully examined and supervised, she added.

她補充說道，尤其是在汽車的安全以及電池質量這兩方面，都是需要經過嚴密的監督和檢查的。

China's new energy vehicle sector has seen explosive growth in the past two years, thanks to the government's support policies including subsidies and tax cuts.

由於政府出臺了購車補貼、稅費減免等扶持政策，過去兩年我國新能源汽車產業呈現爆炸式增長。

In the first ten months, the sales of electric cars surged 290 percent year on year to 171,145, CAAM data showed.

國汽車工業協會數據顯示，今年1-10月，全國累計銷售電動汽車171145輛，同比增長290%。
