The Comparisons Of The Alternative Fuel Vehicles Industry Competitive Power Between China And The United States

Energy saving and environmental protection has become the trend of the world autoindustry, the alternative fuel vehicles came into this international context. After severalyears of development, electric vehicles and other fields have achieved certain results,which to a certain extent, making foundation for the development and international of thealternative fuel vehicles. It’s significant to promote the development and improve thecompetitiveness of alternative fuel vehicles in China by researching the development andexploring with the developed countries in terms of strengths and weaknesses.This paper combined macro and micro analysis, case studies and theoretical research,it sorted of alternative fuel vehicles in China and the United States, carried out China andthe U.S. comparative study with the diamond model as a theoretical framework. First, itintroduced the definition and the main features of alternative fuel vehicles，summarizedthe development of China and the United States. Then, it built a Alternative Fuel Vehicleindustry competitiveness analysis framework, compared the industrial competitiveness inChina and the United States from the six factors: inputs, demand, related support andancillary industries, corporate strategy, structure and competitors, government andopportunities, summed up the competitive advantage in resources and markets, thecompetitive disadvantage in technology and government. Next, it used the case to furtherreveal that it should be improved in international, brand, etc. Finally, based on conclusionof comparing the two countries,it gave the major proposals of enhancing thecompetitiveness of the new energy automotive industry in China.
