The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miit.gov.cn\/n1146295\/n1652858\/n1653018\/c3780606\/content.html\">Stage 4 standards<\/a> for passenger vehicles require fuel consumption per 100 kilometres to fall rapidly from 6.9 litres to 5 litres between 2016 and 2020, an improvement in fuel economy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theicct.org\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/ICCTupdate_ChinaPhase4_mar2014.pdf\">6.2% a year<\/a> over the period.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">But not everyone is happy. The new standard has sparked debate in the automotive sector and concern among think-tanks that the fuel economy of traditional vehicles could stagnate or worsen, despite the market gradually shifts to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fuel economy standards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>China started mandating fuel economy improvements in 2005. But progress has been slow. Between 2006 and 2015, average fuel consumption per vehicle per 100 kilometres fell from about 8 litres to&nbsp;7 litres, an annual decline of less than 2%. The new standard is designed to speed things up with a push for twice the progress in half the time.<\/p>\n<p>Meeting the new standard will be a tough task for many manufacturers though, according to Xia Shengzhi, assistant to the secretary general at the China Association of Automobile Manufactures. <\/span>He said at a&nbsp;conference in October that &ldquo;overly strict emissions standards and technical requirements will have a huge impact on Chinese passenger vehicle brands.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><span>Should this just be taken as defensive posturing or can the Chinese government be confident that manufacturers will hit the new target?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on EVs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2013, the government encouraged the manufacture of electric vehicles with the introduction of a new method of calculating fuel economy, the<\/span> Corporate Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC) system. This strongly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miit.gov.cn\/n1146295\/n1652858\/n1653018\/c3780606\/content.html\">favoured electric vehicles<\/a> because each one manufactured was deemed to have zero emissions and be equivalent to five fuel-burning vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">Although this helped to spur the development of China&rsquo;s electric vehicle market, it&nbsp;also had an unfortunate side effect on fuel economy. According to a September report published by the Innovation Centre for Energy and Transportation (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icet.org.cn\/\">iCET<\/a>), a think-tank, if the preferential inclusion of electric vehicles in the CAFC system is ignored, average fuel consumption per 100 kilometres for passenger vehicles nationwide was slightly over 7 litres, meaning it&rsquo;s still not met the older Stage 3 standard of 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres. When electric vehicles are included in the CAFC calculations, fuel economy appears much better, at 6.6 litres.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">Indeed, the inclusion of electric vehicles in broader fuel economy calculations appears, in some cases, to have worsened fuel economy.<\/p>\n<p>The iCET study analysed fuel consumption changes for ten of China&rsquo;s top electric vehicle manufacturers and found that when production of electric vehicles reached a certain level the firms effectively gave up on improving the fuel efficiency of their vehicles with internal combustion engines. In some cases, fuel consumption levels even increased.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Car makers can meet national fuel economy standards simply by making more electric vehicles,&rdquo; explained Kang Liping, low-carbon transportation project officer for iCET. &ldquo;Some of the firms producing a high percentage of electric vehicles such as BYD and Geely have even met requirements for 2020 already.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Liu Minhui, head of the electric vehicle department at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rdc.faw.com.cn\/\">FAW Group&rsquo;s R&amp;D centre<\/a>, told <em>chinadialogue<\/em> that in order to keep costs under control and meet fuel consumption standards, many firms would try to find a balance. &ldquo;Produce the right number of electric vehicles and you don&rsquo;t need to put too much effort into fuel economy for your traditional vehicles, and everything&rsquo;s rosy,&rdquo; he said. But Liu stressed that this is a short-sighted approach and will not help companies&rsquo; long-term development.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">An Feng, executive director of iCET, thinks the preferential treatment given to electric vehicles is a double-edged sword: on the one hand it makes it easier for firms to meet fuel economy standards flexibly; but on the other hand those firms may relax or even abandon efforts to improve the fuel economy of vehicles with internal combustion engines.<\/p>\n<p>Although the future may belong to electric vehicles, in the short- to medium-term, a failure to improve fuel economy standards matters. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/china-car-sales-take-foot-off-the-gas-1478765078\">China has added 19 million vehicles<\/a> to its roads this year &ndash; a 15% increase from the same period a year earlier &ndash; and is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccilc.pt\/sites\/default\/files\/eu_sme_centre_sector_report_-_the_automotive_market_in_china_update_-_may_2015.pdf\">expected to have over 200 million vehicles<\/a> on its roads by the end of 2020, up from 154 million in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\"><strong>Weak enforcement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Industry insiders say that it is not a lack of&nbsp;innovate that is holding back improvements in fuel economy but a failure to incentivise manufacturers. Despite clear national standards being in place, there are no effective incentives for or sanctions on automakers; firms that do not meet the standards are not held accountable, and those that do particularly well go unrewarded.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology started <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miit.gov.cn\/n1146295\/n1652858\/n1653100\/n3670480\/c3689048\/content.html\">publishing<\/a> annual fuel consumption data for Chinese passenger vehicle manufacturers three years ago. In 2015, 31 automakers failed to meet standards.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">Wu Wei, head of the Machinery and Equipment Office at the National Development and Reform Commission&rsquo;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gys.ndrc.gov.cn\/\">Department of Industrial Coordination<\/a>, indicated that passenger vehicle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbd.com.cn\/articles\/2013-10-10\/778476.html\">fuel consumption would be closely managed<\/a>, with firms below the standard liable to severe sanction or closure. But apart from some naming of firms that have failed to meet the standard, no sanctions have been deployed.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\"><strong>Rising transport emissions<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<span>The Chinese government seems fixed in its belief that promoting electric vehicles can lead to a reduction in transport emissions&nbsp;<\/span><span>nationwide. Not only has it provided encouragement for electric car manufacturing and preferential methods for calculating fuel economy, Li Keqiang indicated at a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.cn\/premier\/2016-10\/08\/content_5116031.htm\">State Council meeting<\/a> last month that, &ldquo;In principle, no more manufacturers of traditional fuel vehicles will be approved.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">The future may be electric, but the reality at present is that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caam.org.cn\/xiehuidongtai\/20160112\/1705183569.html\">98% of new cars<\/a> sold in 2015 were powered by internal combustion engines. Industry insiders say there will be no change, in the short-term at least, to the market dominance of such vehicles.<br \/>\n<span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">\u200b<br \/>\nZhou Zhou, deputy general manager of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caeri.com.cn\/\">China Automotive Engineering Research Institute<\/a>, admits that the Chinese market remains keen on high large vehicles such as minivans and sports utility vehicles. So far, these types of vehicles have&nbsp;not been a major focus of automakers.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">Transportation accounts for about 10% of China&rsquo;s carbon emissions currently, but with continued economic growth and improvements in living standards, fuel consumption by the transport sector can be expected to increase.<\/p>\n<p>Wang Tao, assistant director of the CBN Research Institute and an expert on climate and energy policy, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/m.yicai.com\/news\/5114943.html\">indicated<\/a> that with private car ownership growing, emissions in the transportation sector are rising faster than any other sector. So cutting emissions from traditional vehicles &ndash; the bulk of the car market &ndash; will be key to cutting emissions.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">An Feng argues that the use of electric vehicles to &ldquo;compensate&rdquo; for the fuel economy shortcomings of traditional vehicles should be gradually phased out. Instead, a method that takes into account actual energy use over the vehicle&rsquo;s entire life cycle should be put in place. <\/span>Only this will deliver the long-term improvements in fuel economy that are needed.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-057d17eb-86cd-c81b-45cc-493ed17f668b\">Policies to encourage electric vehicles are
