Recently, the "Guidelines for Classification and Grading of Carbon Footprint Data in the Automotive Industry Chain" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), initiated by the China Cybersecurity Association and drafted with Hybot serving as the core drafting unit, has been reviewed and approved by the expert panel. It has now been officially adopted and implemented as an industry group standard. These Guidelines represent China's first specialized classification and grading standard for carbon footprint data management in the automotive industry, filling a gap in the standardized management of carbon data in this field.

Recently, the "Guidelines for Classification and Grading of Carbon Footprint Data in the Automotive Industry Chain" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), initiated by the China Cybersecurity Association and with Hybot serving as the core drafting unit, has been reviewed and approved by the expert panel. It has now been officially adopted and released as an industry group standard and is ready for implementation. This guideline is the first specialized classification and grading standard in China’s automotive industry specifically aimed at carbon footprint data management, filling a gap in standardized management of carbon data in this field.

Against the backdrop of an accelerating global low-carbon transition and increasingly stringent green trade regulations, As a key sector in carbon emissions, the standardization, transparency, and comparability of carbon footprint data in the automotive industry are becoming core factors for assessing the industry’s green competitiveness and its global influence. As an active practitioner and promoter of green, low-carbon development, Hybot has consistently integrated the “dual carbon” goals into its corporate strategy and the full lifecycle management of its products. While continuously advancing energy conservation and emission reduction in its own operations, Hybot also proactively participates in the development of industry standards and promotes collaborative carbon reduction across the industrial chain.

Since its initiation, this standard has gone through industry research, framework design, content development, multiple rounds of soliciting comments, and expert reviews, ultimately taking nearly a year to complete and successfully publish. As a key participating entity in the development of this standard, Hybot was deeply involved throughout the entire process—participating in the guide’s research, drafting, discussion, and revision—and took the lead in compiling and organizing the content specifically for the commercial hydrogen vehicle sector. The Guide systematically establishes a carbon footprint data classification system and tiered standards covering the entire lifecycle of automobiles, and clearly defines requirements for data collection, accounting, management, and security protection. This not only provides a scientific basis for standardizing carbon accounting across all links in the automotive industry chain, but also lays a crucial data foundation for enterprises to carry out precise carbon management, identify key areas for emission reductions, and build green supply chains.

The release of this Guide marks a significant breakthrough for Hybot in the practical implementation of the “dual-carbon” strategy, the co-creation of industry standards, and the enhancement of data governance capabilities. Moving forward, Hybot will continue to uphold the concept of green and low-carbon development, actively promote the application and practice of the Guide throughout the industrial chain, and remain committed to participating in the refinement and upgrading of relevant standard systems. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with industry partners to jointly elevate the level of carbon data management within China’s automotive industry and strengthen its international voice. Together, we will contribute our professional expertise to the green transformation of the automotive industry and the achievement of the nation’s “dual-carbon” goals.

 

The CyberSecurity Association of China (CSAC), established in Beijing on March 25, 2016, is a national, industry-specific, non-profit social organization under the supervision of the Cyberspace Administration of China. It is voluntarily formed by domestic institutions, enterprises, and individuals engaged in industries, education, research, and applications related to cybersecurity. The Association aims to serve as a bridge and link, organizing and mobilizing all sectors of society to participate in the development of China’s cybersecurity, providing services to its members, serving the industry, and supporting national strategic goals, thereby promoting the security and development of China’s cyberspace.
