Abstract

The majority of transportation-related CO2 growth will come from the developing world with projections suggesting that global CO2 emissions from transportation will at least double by 2050. Given that China will be a leading contributor to this growth in transportation-related CO2, this paper examines the impact of deploying different types of hybrid cars in China to offset some of the growth in CO2 emissions arising from rapidly growing vehicle sales.
