Fengxian mulls smart pivot in electric tricycles

In Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, Fengxian county — the hometown of Liu Bang who founded the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC — AD 24) — is known as China's largest industrial base for electric tricycles.

The number of new energy electric tricycles and supporting enterprises within Fengxian has surpassed 1,000, with an annual production capacity of more than 5 million units and products exported to over 130 countries, said Sun Fenghua, a local expert.

The county not only has more than 60 percent of the domestic electric-tricycle market share, but also takes up over 95 percent of the country's motor market, she said.
