2015 China Green Car Finalists (May 2015 / Clean Transportation Program)

Since 2006, iCET is promoting the China green Car system in collaboration with China’s Vehicle Emissions Control Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection (VECC-MEP). Since 2010, the China Green Car system became available both through a dedicated online user-friendly website and as an annual report release every June. In 2014 the China Green Car system received the esteemed support of the UNEP, which enabled the use of vehicle tailpipe health impact figures provided by VECC-MEP for constructing an additional vehicle smog index.Apart from tailpipe emissions, the ranking system is also based on fuel consumption, and vehicle curb-weight. In early 2015, iCET completed its periodic calculation update and created an EV evaluation method. China Green Car is meant to guide a more stringent regulatory framework governing private vehicle development in China, inform industry players of their relative performance, and assist consumers to make more sustainable vehicle purchase choices. This booklet highlights the finalists of the initial CGC assessment,following which a public testing of vehicle during the Global Clean Vehicle Summit will determine the top-ranked car models in terms of their environmental performance for the year 2015.
