In 2018, Energy Foundation China supported Jin Yuefu, the former deputy chief engineer of the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, to summarize energy and emission statistics and review regulation for China’s transport sector. Many experts provided comments and made academic contributions to the study.

The Vehicle Emission Control Center, a think tank affiliated to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, issued this report in 2018 with support from Energy Foundation China.

In 2018, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center released this report with support from Energy Foundation China. The research team studied how to set a viable energy consumption standard for electric vehicles in China, which would be the world’s first such technical standard.

With support from Energy Foundation China, Shanghai Maritime University released this research report in 2019. The report comprehensively analyzes the current status and challenges of ship emissions in China, and identifies key measures for emission reduction.

In 2018, Beijing Institute of Technology released a research paper to evaluate the energy efficiency and technology effectiveness of electric vehicles on the road, The project was supported by Energy Foundation China.

In June 2018, the Green and Low-carbon Development Foundation released a report to propose a feasible mechanism and policy of automotive battery recycling for Shenzhen, a metropolis with a fast growing electric vehicle population. This project was supported by Energy Foundation China.

With support from Energy Foundation China, the Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation examined the fuel economy difference between real road data and driving cycles from many perspectives, including vehicle classifications, car brands, testing regions, seasons, vehicle weights, fuel consumption levels in typical working condition, and best-selling models. The annual report also explores possible reasons behind the difference and provides technical support for fuel economy management in China.

With support from Energy Foundation China, the Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation studied China’s joint Corporate Average Fuel Consumption-New Energy Vehicle credits policy, and compared the new energy vehicle credits with California’s zero-emission vehicle integration mechanism. Through exploring the current status and future trends of the corporate-average fuel consumption in China, this annual report examines how the new energy vehicle credits and the dual credit policy can impact the auto industry.

This report attempts to flash out actual and certified FC gaps in China based on official FC certified data available and voluntary actual FC data collected from drivers across China through BearOil App and to suggest and assess reasons for causing the gap (e.g. by model and by location).
