Changan supplied hybrid-drive cars as taxis for the Olympic Games at Beijing. The taxis used European-supplied electronics for the “mild hybrid” drive. The new Jiexun-HEV is the first production run of the vehicle using an all-domestic hybrid drive system.

[China](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-prototype) has set the goal of becoming a major world hybrid and EV producer within the next three years. I’m betting they’ll do it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Domestic Hybrid Drive Systems:** Opportunity for companies to develop and manufacture all-domestic hybrid drive systems in the automotive industry. - **Electric Vehicle Development:** Potential for collaboration between Chinese and foreign automakers to develop and produce fully-electric cars for global markets. - **China as Hybrid and EV Producer:** Advancement of China's goal to become a major producer of hybrid and electric vehicles, presenting opportunities for the automotive industry to enter the Chinese market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Opportunity for automakers to develop and commercialize domestic hybrid drive systems, as well as collaborate to produce electric vehicles for the US market. - **Electronics:** Potential for electronics companies to supply components and technologies for domestic hybrid drive systems in the automotive industry. - **Renewable Energy:** Opportunity for renewable energy companies to provide charging infrastructure and energy solutions to support the growth of hybrid and electric vehicles in China. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Fully Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iaa-mobility.md) - [Electric American SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ford-bronco.md) - [Chinese Electric Vehicle Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-automaker.md) - [Chinese EV Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-en.md) - [Chinese Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electra-e5.md) - [Yellow Camouflage Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-Mini-Countryman-SUV.md) - [Comprehensive Automotive Technology Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-technology-suite.md) - [Ultra-Fast Charging Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd.md) - [AI Built-In Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baidu-1.md)
