Program overview
New Energy Vehicle Engineering falls under the Mechanical category within the Engineering discipline. In simple terms, it teaches you how to design, manufacture, and maintain vehicles that don't rely on traditional gasoline—such as pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Core courses include motor and drive technology, battery management systems, automotive electronic control, vehicle dynamics, lightweight materials, etc. You'll also learn programming and simulation software like MATLAB and CATIA for vehicle performance simulation. This major is suitable for students who are interested in cars, enjoy hands-on practice, and are passionate about environmental technology. Chinese universities have unique strengths in this field—for example, Tsinghua University, Tongji University, and Jilin University have strong labs and school-enterprise cooperation projects. Many courses are directly aligned with the actual needs of companies like BYD, NIO, and CATL, allowing you to get in touch with the most cutting-edge technologies.
