Abstract: During the two sessions this year, Zhang Tianren, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Tianneng Holding Group, submitted the "Suggestions on Improving the Construction of New Energy Transportation System and Promoting the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Four-wheeled Low-speed Electric Vehicle Industry".
Premier Li Keqiang mentioned in the government work report on the 5th that new energy vehicles, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, ecological environment and other related content, clearly stated, "continue to support the consumption of new energy vehicles."
The development of green transportation and the gradual establishment of a new energy transportation system are of great significance for promoting economic development and achieving the "dual carbon" goal. Four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles are popular among residents of third- and fourth-tier cities among new energy vehicles, and their production and sales have maintained an average annual growth rate of over 30%. However, its "identity legitimacy" has been debatable.
During the two sessions this year, Zhang Tianren, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Tianneng Holding Group, submitted the "Suggestions on Improving the Construction of New Energy Transportation System and Promoting the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Four-wheel Low-speed Electric Vehicle Industry", calling for the promotion of the management of four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles. System construction, let the four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle industry develop healthily in the sunshine.

Four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles are an industry that is convenient, beneficial and beneficial to the people
Four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicle is a means of transportation between electric two-wheeled vehicles and electric vehicles , and it is a new thing. In recent years, the sales of low-speed electric vehicles in China have increased significantly, and the market has developed rapidly. Without any subsidies, relying on market demand, production and sales have maintained an average annual growth rate of more than 30%. And it is precisely because low-speed electric vehicles have the incomparable advantages of automobiles, such as easy handling, low price, low speed, and low entry barriers, that they have won a wide range of responses in the market.
At the same time, the four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicle is also known as the "old age scooter", and this title also reflects the reasonable demands of reality to a certain extent. In 2025, the number of elderly people over 60 years old in China will reach 300 million, accounting for 21% of the population. With the aging of the population, the market demand for low-speed four-wheelers cannot be ignored.

With the aging of the population, the market demand for low-speed four-wheelers cannot be ignored.
In addition, four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles are an integral part of new energy vehicles. The rapid development of the four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle industry has certain practical significance for expanding domestic demand, stimulating employment, developing green travel, and even helping to achieve the "dual carbon" goal.

The development of four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles faces many challenges
Representative Zhang Tianren found in the survey that the current difficulties in the healthy development of the four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle industry reflected by the masses and the industry are concentrated in the following five points:
The policy of the four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle industry is not clear enough
At present, four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles are still faced with the embarrassing situation that they can be produced and sold, but cannot be licensed; in actual management, the management "regulations" and "methods" are different in different places. Not allowed on the road, contradicting each other.
The "legal status" of four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles has not been implemented for a long time, and the phenomenon of harming the rights and interests of consumers has occurred from time to time.
Due to the lack of certificates, 3C certification, etc., many four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles cannot be licensed, resulting in difficulties encountered by the traffic management department when it comes to law enforcement and consumers in disputes and rights protection.
Lack of industry technical specifications, product quality cannot be guaranteed.
The standard has not been issued for a long time, and the various indicators of low-speed four-wheel electric vehicles in the industry are too divergent, which has plagued the product design and technical transformation of vehicle enterprises, and product consistency and product quality cannot be guaranteed.
The "right of way" for four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles is still unclear.
Low-speed electric vehicles belong to motor vehicles. How to apply for licenses and how to implement the right of way has different policies in different places, and the management is not standardized. It is urgent to give correct guidance to the policy to solve the problems of easy buying, difficult to use, and difficult to travel.
Model category management is still unclear, and excessive standards may stifle the industry and leave hidden dangers.
The original plan to manage four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles as a separate category, to directly upgrade to electric passenger vehicles is likely to eliminate the vast majority of existing four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle companies, and even kill the entire upstream, mid-stream and downstream industries. At the same time, due to the huge market demand, it cannot be ruled out that some enterprises will illegally produce in the periphery, and substandard and unsafe products still flow to the urban-rural fringe or rural markets, leaving hidden dangers.

Proposal to promote the construction of new energy transportation system
Zhang Tianren suggested that, guided by the realization of the "dual carbon" goal, from the height of the national development strategy, promote the construction of a new energy transportation system to meet the diverse needs of green travel. He believes that the four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle is a new thing, and it should be given an inclusive and tolerant development environment, and its healthy and orderly development should be guided by the system. The new energy transportation system should be a green travel system that is diverse, inclusive and selective.
He suggested that reasonable classification and clear product attributes. The four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicle is managed as a separate category, defined as "electric four-wheeled motorcycle", and included in the motorcycle management plan, defined as "miniature low-speed electric vehicle", in the field of "low-speed" technical specifications, and the existing small Electric vehicles are differentiated, and the right of way is also differentiated.
He also suggested that a differentiated technical specification system should be built to balance the characteristics of negative externalities. According to the technical characteristics of four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles, a special technical specification system is formulated, and the negative externalities such as low quality, poor safety, and configuration confusion are eliminated as much as possible through technical specification constraints. The technical specifications of four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles should be distinguished from small electric passenger vehicles in the traditional sense. If the technical standards are too high, it will be meaningless and may directly stifle the development of this industry.
In addition, Zhang Tianren also suggested implementing differentiated traffic management to ensure safe and smooth traffic. In terms of right of way, vehicle registration, license management, driving license management, accident handling and insurance, corresponding management systems are implemented for four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles to ensure safety and smooth flow.
"Every new thing has its rationality for its existence. After the management rules for four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles are formulated, the development of technology and the demand of the market will guide the full development of this type of products to meet the needs of the general public. Zhang Tianren said that he expects the four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicle industry to truly achieve healthy development under the sun, and contribute to green travel and the realization of the "dual carbon" goal.
