Abstract
Over the past two decades, China has become a global economic force. However, this economic growth has led to significant increases in carbon-intense energy consumption, with potentially disastrous impacts on the global environment. Fueling this energy explosion is an increased demand for automobiles in China, which has been met by an expanding auto production industry. This paper reviews China’s current and projected energy and environmental milieu, with particular emphasis on automobile market development. The paper links China’s sustainability potential to its technologies, policies, markets, and automobile industry structure. The paper concludes by characterizing the type of research that is needed to help meet China’s growing transportation needs in a sustainable fashion. © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
