CO2 emissions in China’s transport sector are rising rapidly. Despite the commercial success of e-cars, four out of five new cars sold are still internal combustion vehicles. It is therefore not surprising that China is also considering phasing internal combustion vehicles out. So far, Beijing has not decided on a deadline for new registrations of climate-damaging cars. The authorities are still relying on other measures to reduce emissions. This is also because the dependence on coal-fired power negates the climate advantage of electric cars.
