ABSTRACT

Transportation energy conservation and emissions reduction are global concerns. According to a research report from the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research – Oslo, issued with the National Academy of Sciences, currently, exhaust emissions from motor vehicles, ships, airplanes and trains are main factors in global warming. Transportation energy conservation and emissions reduction have become significant challenges for most countries in the world. China is in a stage of rapid urbanization, as whole society mobility increases passenger turnover growth. China's transportation energy consumption has increased rapidly, holding an increasingly prominent position in China's energy consumption. China's transportation terminal energy consumption increased from 33,454 tons of standard oil in 1990 to 258,301 kilotons of standard oil in 2013, with an annual growth rate of about 9.9 per cent. Transportation is the "harbinger" of economic development in the "new normal" economy, and maintaining the current high-speed development of China's economy is inseparable from the development of transportation.
