The company is planning to produce mix-power vehicles with both gasoline and battery power. The battery engine is started at the beginning of the journey, and the gasoline engine could be automatically started when the battery power runs out.
"The battery could support a range of 150 km and the gasoline could support 300 km," he said, adding that the mix-power vehicles are to be produced next year.
The State Council in June issued an outline to promote the application of new-energy cars and develop the country's new-energy automobile industry.
The Ministry of Science and Technology said in a statement issued in October that a total of 23 electric cars will be used in 11 State agencies in a pilot program aimed to promote new-energy vehicles for official use.
The move offers an opportunity to showcase the latest progress in China-made new-energy automobiles.
