Opportunities and pathways to decarbonize China’s transportation sector during the fourteenth Five-Year Plan period and beyond

This study uses cutting-edge emission-modeling tools to assess the potential for reducing climate pollutants, including CO2, using advanced policy packages compared with policies currently in effect for China’s transportation sector. It provides China with a technical foundation for consideration of carbon reduction goals during the 14th Five-Year-Plan (FYP) period (2021–2025) and over the longer term.

Evaluation of real-world fuel consumption of light-duty vehicles in China: A 2021 update

The gap between real-world fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide from light-duty vehicles (LDV), and their laboratory values, is increasingly apparent around the world, including in China. This ICCT briefing shows that the accelerated expansion of the gap clearly indicates the need for regulatory changes to reverse the trend and close the gap.

The Evolution of Commercial Vehicles in China: A Retrospective Evaluation of Fuel Consumption Standards and Recommendations for the Future

Although China is currently developing the fourth stage of its fuel consumption standards for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), an independent, ex-post assessment of the previous stages does not exist. By providing a quantitative appraisal of the effect achieved by previous stages of the standards, this study closes that knowledge gap.
