Shenzhen adopted an
innovative business model, successfully mobilising vehicle manufacturers, grid
companies, bus and taxi operators, policy research institutes, and citizens to
promote the new energy vehicles plan. The City’s strategy is to prioritise
electrified public transportation (buses and taxis), and gradually transition
towards private cars.
As of December 2013, 3,050 units of new energy
buses (accounting for 20% of the public buses in Shenzhen), and 850 pure
electric taxis (accounting for 6% of the taxis in Shenzhen), were operating in
the city.
