『Abstract
The fast growth of vehicle population in China has caused problems
such as traffic congestion and excessive fuel consumption. There
have been demands for policy control on growth in private vehicle
travel demand. Beijing and Shanghai are China's first two cities
to implement policies on vehicle ownership and use. In this paper,
we compared policies in the two cities and estimated their impacts
on fuel consumption by passenger vehicles. The limitation of vehicle
use in Beijing provides limited but immediate reduction in fuel
consumption. The limitation of vehicle ownership in Shanghai provides
large potential of fuel conservation in a longer term. Under current
policy, fuel consumptions by passenger vehicles in Beijing and
Shanghai in 2020 were estimated to reach 7.5 and 3.9 billion liters,
respectively. The experiences of Beijing and Shanghai are highly
relevant for cities in China and abroad that are facing the same
problems.
