Chongqing Issues Five-Year Plan to Electrify Public Vehicles and Promote Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks

The Chongqing Municipal People's Government has issued the Municipal 15th Five-Year Beautiful Chongqing Construction Plan (2026-2030), which proposes advancing the low-carbon upgrade of transport equipment. The plan calls for actively promoting new energy vehicles, electrifying vehicles in the public sector, and expanding the application of pure electric and hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles.

At the same time, the plan provides for the construction of zero-carbon transport corridors, building what it terms a "zero-carbon corridor" network. It also proposes scrapping and replacing aged operating vessels, promoting ships powered by new energy and clean energy sources, and advancing energy-saving and carbon-reduction retrofits of existing transport infrastructure. This includes building a number of low-carbon stations, docks, and highway service areas.
