The release and implementation of this standard further clarifies the technical requirements and test methods for automotive steering systems, defining clear safety boundaries for new technologies such as steer-by-wire. This is of great significance for promoting the application of steer-by-wire technology and guiding the standardized development of automotive steering systems in my country. To further solidify the industrys safety development baseline and adapt to the evolving technological landscape, this revision improves the technical requirements for steer-by-wire, the functional safety requirements for traditional steering systems and auxiliary steering devices. While ensuring public safety, standardization will support breakthroughs in key core technologies in areas such as new chassis architectures, further guiding the iterative progress of automotive steering technology in my country.On January 26th, the State Taxation Administration, using tax big data to track and analyze consumption, revealed several new highlights in my countrys consumer market in 2025. Demand for home appliances, mobile phones, and new energy vehicles was strongly released; new consumption models and scenarios continued to innovate and integrate; the silver-haired group demonstrated significant consumption potential; and inbound tourism boosted consumption. In 2025, home appliance consumption showed an upward trend, with sales revenue from the retail of refrigerators and other daily household appliances, kitchen and bathroom appliances such as gas stoves, and communication equipment such as mobile phones increasing by 17.4%, 12.9%, and 18.6% year-on-year, respectively. The consumption of new energy vehicles continued to rise. Data from the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales showed that in 2025, sales volume and sales revenue of new energy passenger vehicles increased by 24.3% and 21.1% year-on-year, respectively.On January 26th, the State Taxation Administration, through big data analysis of tax revenue, reported that the shopping experience for inbound tourists has been continuously optimized, effectively stimulating inbound consumption potential, thanks to measures such as lowering the threshold for tax refunds, raising the cash refund limit, relaxing store registration requirements and simplifying the registration process, and promoting "instant refund upon purchase" for tax refunds. In 2025, the number of overseas tourists applying for tax refunds is expected to increase by 305% year-on-year, sales of tax-refundable goods by 95.9% year-on-year, and the amount of tax refunds by 95.8% year-on-year.On January 26th, according to Tianyanchas business registration information, Anhui Mojia Zhichuang Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. recently underwent a business registration change, adding Bethel, Fuchun Dyeing & Weaving, and Zhiyuan Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd.

In the United States, solar costs increased by more than 8 percent in the second quarter

According to a research published late on Wednesday, solar energy prices in the United States climbed by 8.1% in the second quarter as a result of an investigation by the Commerce Department into tariffs on Southeast Asian products and growing input costs.


According to a quarterly index that analyzes renewable energy transactions and is collected by LevelTen Energy, the increase amounted to a remarkable 29.7 percent increase in the overall price of wind and solar contracts, also known as power purchase agreements (PPAs), compared to the previous year.


Compared to the previous year, the cost of solar PPAs has climbed by 25.7%.


Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, economic, logistical, and labor market problems caused by the coronavirus outbreak have intensified, undoing a decade of renewable energy industry cost reductions.


Wind contract expenditures grew by 2.5% during the quarter and have grown by 33.7% annually. Third-quarter wind energy costs in the Southwest Power Pool (NASDAQ:POOL) jumped by 16 percent due to a lack of transmission capacity. Some of the nation's most windy regions, including parts of Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas, are served by the grid operator.


LevelTen claimed that it was too soon to evaluate whether or not the decision by U.S. President Joe Biden in early June to waive tariffs on solar panels from the four Asian countries included in the probe for two years will alleviate some of the cost pressure.


In a survey of fifty developers conducted by the firm, around one-third responded that they wanted additional assurances that tariffs would not be applied retroactively if the Commerce Department were to implement them after the two-year wait.


LevelTen reports that the rising cost of wind and solar contracts for corporate and utility buyers has mirrored the rising cost of natural gas-related wholesale energy prices.
