These research centers will mainly depend on a variety of NEV-related companies, such as Great Wall Motors, Anhui Ankai Automobile Co., Ltd. , CATL and Brunp Recycling. 

According to the requirements from NDRC, National Joint Engineering Research Center should firmly implement innovation-driven development strategy, spare no effort to solve the problems of key technologies and equipment that restrict the development of the industry.
