Selection Principle

1. Ensure that the selection is fair, open and impartial, based on objective facts and scientifically evaluated, without interference from any organization or individual.

2. Combine public application with expert recommendation to ensure the universality and representativeness of the selection.

3. Adhere to the principle of voluntary participation and ensure that the recommended materials are open and free intellectual property disputes.

Cutting-edge technologies Selection criteria

(1) Forward-looking feature, which refers to the prediction and judgment of the development of NEVs technology;

(2) Leading feature, which refers to its ability to take a leading role in both basic and cutting-edge research in NEVs;

(3) Disruptive feature, which refers to subversive effect on the development of NEVs;

(4) Development prospective, which refers to the application, extension and potential economic and social benefits.

Innovative Technologies Selection Criteria

(1) Innovation, which means a new technology created by innovation or an important improvement made on the basis of existing technology, which can break through the technical difficulties and bottlenecks in the core areas of NEVs; and has an important promotional and driving effect on technological and industrial progress;

(2) Potential, which means that it can be widely used in NEVs, as well as parts and components, and that it is feasible to be further promoted and applied.

Selection process

1. Technologies Collection

    · Experts recommend: Committee experts can recommend 2 items of Cutting-edge Technologies and 2 items of Innovative Technologies (The technology recommended by Committee experts can directly enter the final evaluation after examination form). (The experts are required to give a recommendation within 100 words)
    · Secretariat recommendation: The WNEVC Secretariat and the Secretariat of the Science and Technology Committee recommend through selection, invitation, etc.;
  ·  Open collection: Innovative Technologies are openly collected for domestic and foreign scientific research institutions, universities, enterprises, and relevant industry organizations; Each technical field (8 selection fields) can only declare 1 item for the same unit.

2. Examination Form: The secretariat shall examine the compliance of the application materials;

3. Preliminary Evaluation: The Preliminary Evaluation Committee conducted a group-based review and shortlisted 30 technologies after the preliminary evaluation.

Selection Field	Quantity
Power Batteries	Within 5 items
Fuel Cells	Within 5 items
Powertrain and Drive Systems	Within 5 items
Intelligence	Within 7 items
Intelligent Chassis	Within 3 items
Charging/ Hydrogen Energy Infrastructure	Within 3 items
Other Emerging NEV Technologies	Within 2 items

4. Material Improvement: Communicate with the shortlisted companies to complete the materials. Depending on the situation, conduct an interrogation on technologies shortlisted for the final evaluation;

5. Final Evaluation: Experts vote on each technology that enters the final evaluation through the online system. Ranked according to the number of votes received (with votes exceeding half the number of final evaluation experts). In the end, 2025 “Global NEV Cutting-edge and Innovative Technologies” was selected.

6. Evaluation Result
