News I Towards Zero Emissions Transportation Forum - CCTP 2019 Annual Meeting

On April 25, 2019, the China Clean Transportation Partnership (CCTP) successfully hosted the "Towards Zero Emissions Transportation Forum - CCTP 2019 Annual Meeting" in Beijing. The meeting was held after careful preparations and was under the background of the grand opening of the "The Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation". The CCTP is a non-governmental, non-profit platform for voluntary communication, cooperation and opinion transfer, jointly initiated by the research and promotion of China&#39s clean traffic innovation mechanism. As an annual CCTP event, a great number of organizations and companies, including 18 partner organizations, gathered together with more than 100 experts and industry practitioners to discuss the feasibility of reducing transportation energy consumption and emissions, as well as energy conservation and the future development of electric vehicles. These organizations included the Energy Foundation, the Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation, the Vehicle Emission Control Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Energy Research Institute of National Development and Reform Commission, the Transport Planning and Research Institute of Ministry of Transport, China Academy of Transportation of Sciences, the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, Tsinghua University, the Beijing Institute of Technology, the Beijing Transport Institute, the Shanghai Electric Vehicle Public Data Collecting, Monitoring and Research Center, Clean Air Asia (CAA), the Natural Resources Defense Council, The World Resources Institute, the Rocky Mountain Institute (USA) Beijing Representative Office, the T Institute for Transportation & Development Policy, and the Shenzhen Urban Transport Planning Center Co. Ltd.


CCTP Meeting


Dr. An Feng, Founder and Executive Director of iCET Delivered a Welcome Speech


Mr. Gong Huiming, Director of the Energy Foundation Transportation Project Gave Opening Speech


Keynote Speech: China’s 2049 Traffic Power Strategy by Fu Zhihuan, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Former Minister of Railways PRC


Keynote Speech: Hainan Clean Energy Vehicle Development Plan by Wang Baixia, China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd.


The annual meeting has four topics, namely: 1. The Environmental Impact and Emissions Control of Transportation; 2. 2050 Clean Transportation Outlook; 3. Energy Saving and New Energy Vehicles Collaborative Development; 4. Traffic Structure Optimization and Transportation Integration Development. Each topic is hosted by a CCTP partner agency leader or executive committee member, with four guests presenting a topic-related speech. At the same time, in order to enhance the interaction between experts and participants, there is also a theme discussion and time for audience questions after the guest&#39s speech.


Topic 1:The Environmental Impact and Emissions Control of Transportation

Topic 1 Host:Xin Yan, Program officer, Energy Foundation China


Ms. Xin Yan, the host, pointed out that with the development of transportation, the traffic source has become the largest source of pollution in the region. It’s of great importance to discuss the future control focus and control direction. Mr. Yin Hang, Chief Engineer, Vehicle Emission Control Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Ms. Li Yue, Director of the Environment Division, Planning and Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, Mr. Liu Bin, Chief Expert of the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, Director of the Policy Research Center, and Mr. Wang Zhao, Chief Engineer at the Auto Standardization Research Institute, China Automotive Technology and Research Center, gave speeches and discussed the topic. Ms. Li Yue pointed out that as a transportation forum, it is quite necessary to discuss ship discharge and water transport in the theme of emission control. In the course of the speech, Ms. Li Yue stated that the route of China&#39s ship pollution control must be taken from no control, to the control of the frontal area, to national control, and then to the global requirements in the next stage, even leading into the surrounding countries.
