In collaboration with the government’s support of sustainable growth via the development of a regional electric vehicle industry, the 2014 CER will be organized as part of the 2014 Qinghai Green Economy Investment & Trade Fair.

With the pristine nature of the Qinghai- Tibetan plateau as its setting, the 2014 CER will not only be a race conducted at the highest elevation, but also the first Chinese car race whose participating teams will solely utilize electric vehicles.

The CER 2014 will last for three days and comprises performance evaluation of various challenges in categories such as vertical acceleration; controllability etc.; an electric vehicle relay race around Qinghai Lake; two EV street parades; a lakeside concert by the China National Symphony Orchestra and a series of other public activities.

Furthermore, the event includes a forum to help foster scientific and technical exchange among academics and decision-making circles from all around the world.
