Electrification of Online Ride-Hailing Vehicles in China: Intention Modelling and Market Prediction

Significant negative impact caused by climate changes, such as economy and life losses, has been experienced globally in recent years, which has called for imminent development and adoption of low carbon technologies in order to mitigate the impact. In 2020, the Chinese government outlined the ‘Dual...

description Significant negative impact caused by climate changes, such as economy and life losses, has been experienced globally in recent years, which has called for imminent development and adoption of low carbon technologies in order to mitigate the impact. In 2020, the Chinese government outlined the ‘Dual Carbon’ Goal where its carbon emission will peak before 2030 whilst China will become ‘Carbon Neutral’ before 2060. In China, the amount of carbon emissions from the transportation industry stands in second place and it is predicted that the carbon emission of China’s automobile industry will reach between 21.5 and 30 billion tons in 2030.
