China is doing excellent work transitioning away from fossil fuel powered transportation and adopting the electric vehicles of the future!
The end of the internal combustion engine?
Sales of petrol and diesel cars in China peaked in 2017 and are now falling rapidly.
The shift to electric and low-carbon transport is well underway—and EV sales are rising fast.
