Towards Decarbonising Transport 2023 - A Stocktake on Sectoral Ambition in the G20
This publication analyses the current state of decarbonisation and climate ambition in the transport sectors of G20 countries.
Developing an Electric Mobility Roadmap for Vietnam: Global Experiences From National Case Studies
This paper looks at successful e-mobility case studies and summarizes good practices of developing and implementing an e-mobility roadmap. Based on these observations, this paper offers recommendations for Vietnam’s upcoming electric mobility roadmap.
Pathways to Decarbonize the Road Transport Sector in Guangdong, China
This study developed three scenarios to stimulate decarbonization in Guangdong province, including promoting zero-emission vehicles, shifting to low-emitting modes of transportation, improving vehicle fuel efficiency, avoiding travel, and decarbonizing power/hydrogen generation.
Toward Credible Transport Carbon Dioxide Emissions Accounting in China
To help unify the transport emissions accounting methodologies for China’s national and subnational governments and improve statistical data collection for credible transport emissions reporting, this study reviews the accounting methods and statistical data used globally and in China through a literature review and stakeholder interviews.
Decarbonizing India’s road transport: A meta-analysis of road transport emissions models
This paper compares key assumptions, energy use, and CO2 emissions by vehicle and fuel type across eight road transport energy and emissions models for India.
Measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from motor air conditioning in China
This paper discusses how to improve MAC energy efficiency in China and offers policy recommendations for future regulation of GHG emissions from MAC in China.
Transport in New Nationally Determined Contributions and Long-Term Strategies
Published in October 2021, the new report from SLOCAT and TraCS analyzed the role of transport in new and updated NDCs and LTS.
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.
Towards zero emissions: Overview on China’s climate pathway and implications to the transport sector
This paper provides an overview of China’s climate protection pathway with regards to the role of the transport sector in achieving carbon dioxide emissions peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.
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.
Concept For An Integrated Reporting Mechanism for Transport, Climate Change And SDGs
While there are increasing efforts from countries to meet the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement, current research is telling us that we need further enhancement to get on a pathway towards net zero carbon by the middle of the century.
