"In a major push to meet its climate goals and reduce carbon emissions, China
has designated 15 cities as pilot zones to promote the use of new energy
vehicles in public transport.
Over the next three years, the government aims to add more than 600,000 new
energy vehicles, including buses, taxis, sanitizing trucks, and delivery
vehicles, among others, across these pilot cities, which include Beijing,
Shenzhen, and Chongqing. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
stated earlier this week that the plan also comprises adding more charging
stations, speeding up electrification, and exploring new technologies.
The pilot cities have been categorized into three groups, with each city being
assigned specific targets for the addition of new energy vehicles and charging
stations. Developmental goals have also been set in areas including autonomous
driving, battery technologies, and the trading of green electricity.
As the world’s top emitter of greenhouse gasses, China has unveiled numerous
initiatives aimed at reaching its peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving
carbon neutrality by 2060. Some measures specifically address the
transportation sector, which contributes to approximately 12.5% of the nation’s
total carbon emissions.
The government has also committed to ensuring that clean energy vehicles will
make up 40% of all new vehicles by 2030, a significant increase from the 26%
recorded in 2022.
Public transport vehicles are at the forefront of this push. China has vowed
that by 2035, all such vehicles, including buses, taxis, and rental cars, will
be electric. Currently, 77% of buses across the country are operated using new
energy sources like electricity and hydrogen."
