          Abstract
          With the vigorous promotion of China’s "dual carbon" strategy and the accelerated development of new energy vehicles (NEVs), Anhui Province has established an industrial cluster led by major companies such as Chery, JAC, BYD, NIO, and Volkswagen (Anhui), forming a relatively complete NEV industry chain. This paper takes Automobile Company A (CA) as a case study to explore the environmental and social impacts of Anhui’s NEV cluster. Environmentally, the paper analyzes the development status and green transformation of the cluster in terms of clean energy applications, green manufacturing, and carbon emission reduction. Socially, it discusses the cluster’s role in promoting economic development, increasing employment, and driving upstream and downstream industrial development. The study concludes that Anhui’s NEV cluster, represented by CA, has made significant progress in green development and social value creation. However, challenges remain in areas such as industrial coordination, technological innovation, and sustainable development, requiring continued support from policy, technology, and the market.
