In view of this, the Paris Agreement came into being, which clearly stipulates to hold the global average temperature rise from the level before the industrial revolution to below 2 °C and even below 1.5 °C. In order to achieve such temperature control goal, all signatories shall, on the basis of equality, achieve a balance between the anthropogenic GHG emission and the sink and removal (i.e., carbon neutrality) during the second half of the century. On September 22, 2020, President Xi Jinping announced that China would strive to hit peak emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The automotive industry, as the pillar industry of China’s national economy, shows important carbon emission characteristics such as rapid growth of total carbon emis- sions and strong driving force to the whole industry chain. The adoption of 30/60 goals (i.e., achieving peak CO emissions by 2030 and hitting carbon neutrality by 2 2060) meets the actual need of China to actively participate in international climate governance and demonstrate our sense of responsibility as a major country and also creates a big opportunity for the green, low-carbon, and high-quality transforma- tion and upgrading of the automotive industry. The automotive industry should lead other industries in China to realize net zero carbon emission and pull or push the decarbonization of upstream and downstream industry chains with suitable path- ways selected, enabling China’s independent automotive brands to grow from big automotive brands to strong automotive brands. The “14th Five-Year Plan” period is a critical strategic period for the green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry. In 2021, China became the world’s largest automobile producer and consumer with a vehicle popula- tion exceeded 300 million. China’s automotive industry has been under the transfor- mation from high-speed growth to high-quality development, and its carbon emission reduction is crucial to the successful achievement of the carbon peak goal. While actively promoting green and low-carbon development, the automotive industry is also facing some opportunities and challenges, for example, what carbon reduction paths are available for passenger vehicle enterprises to choose? At what stage should ix x Foreword the path be switched? What is the effect of transformation? How can commercial vehicle enterprises formulate market-oriented strategies as well as carbon emission reduction goals and paths? How can the automotive industry become an outstanding practitioner of the “30/60” goals? In order to promote the carbon emission reduction of the automotive industry, Automotive Data of China Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as CATARC-ADC) has been devoted in the on automotive carbon emission management for many years. Since 2018, CATARC-ADC has established the World Automotive Life Cycle Assessment Working Group (WALCA), and initiated the China Automobile Low Carbon Action Plan (CALCP). Since then, it has accounted for and released the research results on the life cycle carbon emissions of more than 15,000 passenger vehicle models for five consecutive years. In 2022, CATARC-ADC carried out a study on China Automobile Low Carbon Action Plan (2022) together with 20 research institutes at home and abroad. This study first, based on the China Automotive Life Cycle Assessment Model (CALCM), accounts for the life cycle carbon emission of single vehicle, enterprise, and fleet of passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles sold in China in 2021 and analyzes and publicizes the current life cycle carbon emission of China’s automobile enterprises and products; secondly, with carbon neutrality of the automotive industry as focus, puts forward from different perspectives ten transition paths, including clean elec- tricity; vehicle electrification; fuel decarbonization; low-carbon material; produc- tion digitalization; transportation intelligence; shared mobility; resource recycling; carbon capture, utilization and storage; and product ecologicalization, sets up three scenarios namely reference scenario, low-carbon scenario, and enhanced low-carbon scenario, and then fully discusses the carbon emission reduction potential of different paths under these scenarios; finally, based on the research results and the challenges facing the automotive industry at home and abroad under the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, points out policy measures and strategic suggestions for the low- carbon development of China’s automotive industry, with a view to supporting the formulation of national carbon emission policies, promoting the R&D and appli- cation of low-carbon technologies, leading the automotive industry to achieve the carbon neutrality goal, and promoting the higher quality, more efficient, and more sustainable development of automotive industry.
