The Bluebook on alternative energy vehicles expects that sales volume of domestic and imported alternative energy vehicles will reach 750,000 units and 20,000 units respectively in 2017, with a total of 770,000 units.

The Bluebook on alternative energy vehicles is an annual report on the developments of domestic alternative energy vehicles, compiled by CATARC, Nissan (China) Investment Co. Ltd. and Dongfeng Motor.

The book points out that alternative energy bus market shows limited growth, with the main growing area lying in fast-charging buses and PHEV buses.

Alternative energy special vehicle market is mainly supported by policies. The special vehicle market shows complexity and market potential at the same time. Currently, main auto companies with technological and brand advantages have all marched into pure-electric logistics vehicle market, promoting the rapid release of terminal demands.

Economical BEV models show great development potential under the new subsidy policies. Currently, main auto companies have paid attention to the micro-electric vehicle market. The cost-effective micro electric vehicles may attract demands for low-speed electric vehicles in some villages.

The book believes that villages should be the main battlefield for developing alternative energy buses. Besides, it points out that many alternative energy vehicle companies are supported by Internet companies or famous companies, and it is unnecessary to limit the entry number for companies since the developments are also uncertain.
