Future vehicles may be required to install vehicle-to-everything (V2X) devices, as insiders say work on mandatory standards has begun.
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that relevant authorities have initiated the development of a mandatory national standard for equipping vehicles with C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything). A dedicated working group has been established, with dozens of organizations participating. Currently, mandatory installation requirements are being prioritized for commercial passenger vehicles, trucks, and other similar vehicles, with plans to expand the scope of application in the future.
C-V2X is a technology that enables vehicles to exchange information with other vehicles, road infrastructure, and the cloud. It can provide blind-spot collision warnings, accident alerts, and intelligent traffic light signals, compensating for the perceptual limitations of cameras and radar. As of the first half of 2026, the number of passenger cars in China delivered with C-V2X as standard front-end equipment reached 344,000, a year-on-year increase of 13.63%. However, the adoption rate remains low at just 4.03%.
