Asian Electric Vehicle Conference-4 (AEVC-4)

Conference scope
Under the widely spreading increase of transportation vehicles in the world, it has become very important to develop electric automobiles, electrical bicycles and electrical industrial vehicles widely. In Asia, the energy used for automobiles and the emission produced by automobiles is becoming more and more serious. The aim of this conference is not only to exchange electric vehicle technologies but also to share the ideas of human nature in regards to energy consumption and politics. We warmly welcome scientific researchers, students, and industrial workers from all over the world to come forward and try to work out this global issue.
