Innovation new driver of development

TESLA SAID ON THURSDAY that it will establish a research and development center in Beijing, the first one outside of the United States. The electric carmaker also announced earlier that it will establish a factory in Shanghai. Beijing News comments:

China's strong market demand has no doubt been a big incentive for Tesla. As the company's statistics show, China is its largest overseas market, and Beijing is one of its largest regional markets in China.

With more than 20 million permanent residents, Beijing is a large market for new energy cars. More than 175,000 battery electric vehicles are running on its roads, and the capital seeks to be an example in green development so it continues to support the development of new energy vehicles.
