『Abstract
Vehicle electrification has been seriously considered as an industry
revolution to achieve sustainable transportation in China. Hybrid
electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)
and pure electric vehicles (EV) are being demonstrated in scores
of large cities. We select three well-developed regions (Jing-Jin-Ji,
Yangtze-Rover-Delta and Pearl-River-Delta) to explore regional
growth patterns for the light-duty passenger vehicle fleet and
develop various scenarios for the penetration of HEV, PHEV and
EV during 2010-2030. Per-kilometre and fleet well-to-wheels (WTW)
petroleum use, fossil energy and CO2 emissions
are evaluated among various technology options. Promotion of PHEV
and EV could help cut per-kilometre petroleum use to a great extent;
however, to achieve a clear reduction benefit in oil demand for
a fleet in three regions take time. The effort to mitigate CO2 emissions is much more difficult than lowering
fossil energy use or oil consumption. This is especially true
for the Jing-Jon-Ji Region where coal is an overwhelming power
source. In those regions with a high share of coal power, HEV
is a better option than PHEV or EV to reduce WTW CO2
emissions. In the Pearl-River-Delta region with a much cleaner
electricity mix, promotion of EV could achieve a more significant
CO2 reduction.
