"Vocational education goes abroad" promotes China's vocational education from resource export to the comprehensive dissemination of standards, curricula, technology and culture. The new energy vehicle major has the characteristics of fast technological renewal, strong job practice, and high demand for international cooperation. The cross-cultural dissemination of professional English and teaching resources directly affects overseas learners' understanding of China's vocational education model and industrial technology. At present, there is still a problem of insufficient adaptation of professional English resources for new energy vehicles in terms of terminology expression, case selection, classroom organisation, etc., which is easy to cause deviation in learning understanding and weakening of teaching effect. Based on this, the article analyses the practical value, practical problems and optimisation path of the dissemination of professional English resources of new energy vehicles, and proposes that the quality of communication should be improved in terms of collaborative development team construction, terminology library construction, integrated adaptation of teaching resources, and integration of job tasks, so that teaching resources can not only reflect China's new energy The advantages of the automobile industry can also adapt to the language foundation, cultural habits and job needs of students from different countries.
