On August 8th, Chinese automaker Wuling celebrated the Indonesian production

rollout of its first global electric vehicle, the Air ev (right-hand drive

version). This marks an important milestone for Wuling New Energy in global

The Air ev rollout aligns with the 'blue ocean' market focus of the Chinese

"Belt and Road" initiative and acts to represent China's strengths in

the innovative achievements of China's intelligent manufacturing on a global

stage, adding value to the summit to be a complete success.
