The European Chamber’s Automotive Working Group is delighted to invite you to attend the working group meeting on Wednesday 22nd March which will include two major agenda, 1) keynote speeches on power battery and 2) working group internal discussion.
Language:Chinese & English (no translaiton is provided)
Session I: Keynote speeches on power battery. In December 2022, EU made new progress in battery regulation by which rules will cover the entire battery life cycle, from design to end-of-life and apply to all types of batteries sold in the EU, that will make profound impact on NEV manufacturers. In the meanwhile, Chinese authorities are intensively working on the Chinese version of the regulation. We are very honored to invite speakers from the EU Delegation and CATARC to give an in-depth introduction of the European and Chinese battery policy development.
Session II: Automotive WG internal discussion. On this occasion, we will guide you through the key advocacy activities done by the Automotive WG in 2022 and have a small brainstorm session for next year’s working plan. As one of the Chamber’s key advocacy tools, the annual Position Paper (PP) has always received a great deal of attention from the Chinese and EU authorities. The lead pens will present the key recommendations of this year’s PP and collect members’ feedback. (More lead pens are wanted, please contact me for details.) Last, the chair/vice-chair election will be conducted.
