    CCTV News (China News): The 2009 Shanghai International Auto Show officially opened to the public on the 21st night. Before and after the opening of this auto show, dozens of domestic and imported models will be listed one after another, and today, with attention to energy conservation and environmental protection, the appearance of various new energy vehicles has also become the focus of this auto show.


    Mini-cars have always been the focus of attention at the auto show because of their cute shape, energy saving and fuel saving. As a mini-hybrid car, the Mercedes-Benz smart sedan that just landed in China on April 8th has attracted many viewers’ attention. BYD, the leader of new energy vehicles in China, brought two hybrid electric vehicles and a pure electric vehicle to this auto show. Exhibitors said that compared with BYD’s new energy vehicles at the Shanghai Auto Show two years ago, the three exhibits this time are more convenient to charge, longer in endurance, higher in fuel economy and lower in cost.


    The new generation of hybrid Buick commercial vehicles exhibited by SAIC is expected to be mass-produced next year. In addition, SAIC has signed an agreement with the Shanghai World Expo Bureau, and its new energy vehicles such as hybrid, pure electric, hydrogen power and supercapacitor will be unveiled at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.


    In addition to small new energy vehicles, Shaanxi Automobile Group’s energy-saving and environmentally-friendly LNG heavy trucks and compressed natural gas heavy trucks, which represent the future development direction, also appeared at this auto show.


    The reporter noticed that the word hybrid is often mentioned at auto shows, but most hybrid vehicles are still in the concept car stage, and a few have announced mass production plans, and their sales targets are mostly public services such as public transportation and rental. The popularization of new energy vehicles will take some time.
