China has outlined plans to enhance the integration of transport infrastructure with renewable energy systems, targeting pure electric vehicles (EVs) to become the primary choice for new car sales by 2035. The initiative, detailed in a circular issued on Friday by the Ministry of Transport and nine other departments, aims to advance sustainable development in the transport sector.

The circular highlights the goal of achieving widespread use of new energy heavy-duty trucks and establishing a green fuel supply system for transportation by 2035. It emphasizes the development and application of clean energy sources along key transport networks, including railways, highways, and ports, to support a low-carbon transport ecosystem.

To drive this green transition, China will promote the adoption of new energy vehicles, eco-friendly vessels, and sustainable aviation technologies. Additionally, the plan includes advancing environmentally responsible practices in postal and express delivery services, aligning with broader sustainability objectives.

The circular outlines increased financial support to facilitate these efforts, utilizing resources such as special local government bonds, green loans, green bonds, and re-lending funds dedicated to technological innovation and upgrades. These measures aim to provide the necessary funding to accelerate the adoption of green technologies across the transport sector.

By aligning infrastructure development with renewable energy, China seeks to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of its transportation networks, contributing to long-term environmental goals and fostering innovation in clean energy applications.
