technical improvement in traditional internal combustion engine (ICE)
passenger vehicles, studies on freight vehicle CO2 emission reduction
technology conducted in China have mainly focused on the research
and development of new energy vehicles. However, the contribution of
such technologies to CO2 emission reduction is yet to be seen through
scientific research. Moreover, relevantly mature technologies for CO2
emission reduction in freight vehicles still await observation and
application—there are still no scientific reports on the total volume
of CO2 emissions from freight vehicles in China, so analysis of the
effectiveness of CO2 emission reduction and control technologies for
freight vehicles remains to be seen.
In order to address research gaps, the analysis in this chapter
selects freight vehicles as the main control objective. The outcomes of
CO2 emission reduction technologies for freight vehicles are examined.
The study calculates CO2 emissions from freight vehicles with different
technologies, vehicle types, fuel-switching and fuels in order to
understand emission reduction as a result of different plans through
optimized combinations. It evaluates the prospects for the application
of different emission reduction technologies for the freight transport
sub-sector in China.
The study was designed to analyse the current situation and
characteristics of motor vehicle pollution in the urban area of Guiyang;
determine the constraints that prevent motor vehicles to reduce
pollution; ascertain the factors contributing to the current pollution
from motor vehicles; and uncover the crucial problems caused by the
current motor vehicle pollution. It was also designed to gather and
make use of sufficient information to understand the pollution trends,
to be able to formulate and suggest effective controls and counter-
measures to the relevant government agencies for their decision
making and policy making concerning motor vehicle CO2 emission
control. Thus, it contributes to the achievement of the country’s climate
change mitigation targets.
3.2 Methodology and Approach
3.2.1 Investigation of Freight Vehicle Transportation in
Guiyang
Through investigation of freight companies, the freight market, and
freight stations in Guiyang, the study sorts out the types, operating
rules, and current operation status of freight vehicles in Guiyang, and
analyses the existing problems in freight transport.
