With the rapid development of South Korea's economy, the pressure on its energy and environmental protection field is also increasing. In October 2021, South Korea announced that it had identified a policy roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, with a focus on limiting the consumption of coal and liquefied natural gas for power generation and replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with hydrogen-powered and battery-powered electric vehicles. As one of the world's top ten automotive markets, realizing new energy vehicles has become one of the important paths for South Korea to achieve carbon neutrality. Among them, the new energy commercial vehicle market has broad room for development.

Different from the traditional commercial vehicle industry, long-range vehicles have been positioned as new energy commercial vehicles since its birth, and Geely Commercial Vehicle Group is the first commercial vehicle group in China to focus on the field of new energy. Taking R&D as the forerunner and sharing the profound technical resources of the Central Research Institute of Geely Holding Group, Remote Auto has established the largest new energy commercial vehicle research institute in China, bringing together more than 2,000 R&D engineers at home and abroad, focusing on the development of new energy and intelligent technologies for commercial vehicles, covering the whole series of commercial vehicles such as heavy trucks, light trucks, small micro trucks, LCVs, buses, etc., becoming the first commercial vehicle brand in China to complete the multi-energy layout and realize the new energy of all products.
