Electric Concept Vehicle Modeling Design Based On The Chinese Cultural Elements

With the development of economy, China’s automotive market and industry are rapidly developing. Now, China has certainly becomes the largest countries in the world at automobile production and sales. However, it is regrettable because of his automobile industry is not strong. Because China’s automotive industry just has a short history, some of local companies rely on imitation and plagiarism to occupy the market..Their design is unable to form their unique brand image and unique Chinese styling. So, it is most urgent to strengthen the independent innovation design is the independent brand requirement in current, and also will be the only choice of Chinese automobile design. China has a long history and rich cultures, local companies can steal influences from the rich culture for inspiration. to build automobile culture of Chinese characteristics.In the background of energy crisis and environment deterioration, developing electric vehicles is effective measure and inevitable direction to solve these problems. Electric vehicles have the advantage of environmental protection. Electric vehicles have been relatively mature research and scientific results in engineering and technology, but the study on its design is still relatively small, especially the combination of design research local ideological culture element is rare. Make the overall style is harmonious.From the present situation of China’s automobile industry development, using the methods of theory research and Practical modeling, this article analyze and explores Chinese elements, automobile exterior modeling and electric vehicles, and tried to explore and summarize a method of how to extract the design elements from some essence. Use the method for design of electric vehicle.I hope that this paper can provide some reference for the design of electric vehicle based on the local culture. Try to made the Chinese traditional culture carry forward in the future, and Change the slogan of “Made in China” to “Created in China”.
