On December 10^th, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released a new membership list of SAC/TC114, the National Technical Committee of Auto Standardization. SAC/TC114, with its secretariat at China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC). The TC has undergone five terms; each term lasted five year and will soon enter its 6^th term.

The new term will be chaired by Mr. Wang Weiming, Director-General of the Equipment Industry Department I at MIIT, and co-chaired by 5 deputy directors-general. They are Mr. Qi Yaozhong from the Traffic Management Bureau of Ministry of Public Security (MPS), Mr. He Ming from Department of Science and Technology at the Ministry of Transport (MoT); Mr. Zhang Haolong from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE); Mr. Wu Xiangqian from the General Administration of Customs. Mr. An Tiesheng who is the CEO and senior engineer Of CATARC is the vice chair and secretary genernal of SAC TC 114.

The new committee consists of 78 members, including 15 government representatives from MIIT, SAMR, MPS, MoT and other essential authorities, 11 from research centers and academia, 8 from vehicle testing and inspection centers, and 44 enterprise members who are leading automakers, parts and components manufacturers, battery manufacturers, and autonomous driving service providers across the vehicle manufacturing supply chain. Among the 44 enterprises, FAW Toyota and SAIC Volkswagen are the only 2 foreign members.

In contrast to the new committee, its predecessor had 75 members. Its composition includes 11 government officials (from the same authorities as the 6^th committee), 14 from research institutes and academia, 7 from testing and inspection centers, 43 from enterprises. Among the 43 enterprises, foreign members are FAW Toyota, SAIC Volkswagen, and Hyundai. And only Hyundai is missing from the new committee membership list.

Furthermore, the new committee has included several leading local companies from high-growth sectors, with new entrants from electric vehicles (e.g., Xiao Mi, Leapmotor), robotics (e.g., Horizon Robotics), and AI technology (e.g., iFlytek). The committee’s restructure signals a strategic shift toward domestic technological sovereignty. It has streamlined government and academic seats while expanding enterprise membership, notably dropping Hyundai and adding prominent Chinese EV and AI firms. This move aligns standardization directly with fostering China’s indigenous innovation in next-generation automotive technologies.
