3、06, there were about 24 million total passenger cars on the roads in China, nearly threetimes as many as in 2001. To slow the increase in energy consumption by these cars, China beganimplementing passenger car fuel econo

4、my standards in two phases beginning in 2005. Phase 1 fuelconsumption limits resulted in a sales-weighted new passenger car average fuel consumption decreaseof about 11%, from just over 9 l/100 km to approximately 8 l/10

5、0 km, from 2002 to 2006. However, weproject that upon completion of Phase 2 limits in 2009, the average fuel consumption of new passengercars in China may drop only by an additional 1%, to approximately 7.9 l/100 km. Thi

6、s is due to the factthat a majority of cars sold in 2006 already meets the stricter second phase fuel consumption limits.Simultaneously, other trends in the Chinese vehicle market, including increases in average curb wei

7、ghtand increases in standards-exempt imported vehicles, threaten to offset the efficiency gains achievedfrom 2002 to 2006. It is clear that additional efforts and policies beyond Phase 2 fuel consumptionlimits are requir

8、ed to slow and, ultimately, reverse the trend of rapidly rising energy consumption andgreenhouse gases from China’s transportation sector.these are shown in Table 1. All vehicle fuel economy regulations in China, includi

9、ng current and future passenger vehicle fuel economy standards as well as commercial vehicle regulations, are based on the categorizations shown in Table 1. However, vehicles in China are additionally classified accordin

10、g to a slightly different classification system dictated by the Ministry of Public Security. These classifications are used both for official statistical reporting by the National Bureau of Statistics as well as for admi

15、in 1993. As shown in Fig. 5, China’s petroleum import percentage has grown ever since, reaching 50% in 2006 (CSY, 2007). Because China’s on-road transportation vehicles are fueled almost exclusively by gasoline and diese

16、l, much of the rapid growth of petroleum consumption in China can be linked to the growth of on-road transportation vehicles. CATARC data indicate that, in 2006, motor vehicles consumed 86.4% of all gasoline consumed in

17、China and 24.1% of all diesel (CATARC, 2007b). Controlling petroleum consumption by this sector is a critical goal for China in order to slow the growth in its oil dependence. Though China’s current energy saving policie

18、s primarily target energy security, there is increasing pressure internationally – and domestic recognition of the need – for China to slow the growth of its CO2 emissions. This is especially true now that China is thoug

19、ht to be the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases (Rosenthal, 2008). Within the transportation sector, the increased use of petro- leum has led to a corresponding increase in CO2 emissions from on-road transportat

20、ion. Wang et al. estimate that, as early as 2028, China’s total on-road CO2 emissions could match those of the United States in 2004 (Wang et al., 2006). However, this may even be a low estimate due to higher-than-expect
