The dawning Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, brings unique opportunities and challenges to the automotive industry. The booming new energy vehicle (NEV) industry has injected new vitality into the economic growth of countries, helping them to address climate change challenges, and improving the global ecological environment. The new trends in technology, digitalization and marketization triggered by this game-changing global revolution have also posed endless legal challenges to the automotive and mobility industries.
Since 2012, the State Council has successively introduced a series of laws, regulations and policies on NEVs, promoting the development of the NEV industry and taking it as the only way for China to transform from a big automobile country to an automobile power. In response to the policy call, KWM established automotive, new energy and mobility practices, taking it as its mission and responsibility to help the automotive and mobility industries navigate through new challenges.
KWM, in collaboration with LexisNexis, presents the Analysis of Typical Practical Issues Concerning New Energy Vehicles. Considering the emerging business and issues in the NEV industry, as well as the latest judicial practice and our practical experience, this publication discusses and interprets such hot legal issues as dilemmas and breakthroughs for NEV production qualification, NEV marketing and after-sales compliance, anti-monopoly issues in the management of NEV sales, determination of liability and risk prevention and control for fires caused by NEVs, responses to NEV class actions, intelligent connected vehicles and mapping compliance, determination of product liability in traffic accidents involving intelligent vehicles, review and outlook of smart cabin data compliance, data compliance and algorithmic governance in automatic driving, IP risk management in chip technology cooperation and technical innovation, infringement of automotive logos trademarks and IP layout suggestions. We hope it is helpful for relevant enterprises.
