China said it will work to improve levels of standardisation in its electric vehicle industry, a sector it is aggressively promoting to help combat smog and to position the country as a leading car-making giant in the future, reported Reuters.

This year its standardisation efforts will focus on recharging, battery design and fuel consumption, the industry’s ministry said in a statement.

China will also work to promote its own standards and benchmarks for electric and plug-in electric vehicles overseas, taking advantage of economies of scale to become a global leader in standardisation, they also said.

Beijing, China is seeking to engineer a dramatic shift away from conventional gasoline cars with strict production quotas for the so-called new energy vehicles (NEVs), prompting a flurry of deals as both foreign and domestic automakers race to ensure they do not fall short.
