32 Asian Legal Business | October 2024 Charged Compliance 新能源车企出海面临升级挑战 Supported by domestic policies, China’s electric vehicle (EV) industry is rapidly expanding and strengthening its interaction with global markets. Once focused on exporting cars, Chinese EV companies are now exploring new avenues by establishing factories overseas. With this shift, the compliance pressures they face are also intensifying. By Hu Yangxiaoxiao In the first half of 2024, China’s automobile exports continued to lead globally, reaching 2.793 million units. Of these, new energy vehicles (NEVs), including plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles, accounted for 605,000 units, representing 21.6 percent of the total. Beyond direct vehicle exports, Chinese EV companies are diversifying their overseas strategies. Yang Xiaoli, a partner at Tian Yuan Law Firm, notes an increase in the export of vehicle parts for overseas assembly, as well as acquisitions of foreign brands and efforts to localize operations by establishing supply chains abroad. “The expansion of NEV projects overseas has been rapid,” she adds. Data becomes key focus Traditionally, automobiles were not closely linked with data. However, as smart technology and innovation have become major selling points for many NEVs, cars are increasingly collecting personal information to offer personalized travel and lifestyle services. Some now refer to NEVs as the “second super-terminal” after smartphones. 受到国内政策支持，中国的新能源汽车产业正经历快速发展，并不断增强与全球 市场的互动。从曾经的汽车外销，到如今的海外建厂，新能源车企探索着新的出海 模式，其所面对的合规压力也日益升级。作者：胡阳潇潇 Compliance
