Growing Impacts - Pollution Beijing, 1/14/13 From: Energy Digital

» Beijing pollution reaches record levels in January 2013 » PM 2.5 levels > 700 ppm (> 500 considered “off the inde » Government acknowledging issues for first time


China Market – Why “New Energy”? » Roughly 50% of China’s transportation fuel goes to commercial trucks and buses – as opposed to less than a third in the US » New Energy means using new energy technologies (electric, hybrid) and has sometimes been expanded to include using less fuel or using new fuels (natural gas) » China plans to subsidize new energy vehicles $12B Yuan ($1.76B) by 2012

Business Guide: Advanced Tech for M/HD Vehicles in China » Produced for Forum » ONLY document focused on M/HD truck and bus market » Developed to assist US companies to understand shape of market, opportunities, barriers » Executive Summary available to all » Full report available free to all companies participating in Forum

Commercial Vehicle Volumes in China » Total sales of commercial vehicles in 2011 were approximately 6.93 million (mini, light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks and buses) » Big portion of the overall totals are mini and light trucks.

» Medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles sales in 2011 (weight classes 3-8 in the US) together total more than 1.4 million. More than two times the US production.

» Bus sales over 400,000 in 2011. The bus market is many times larger than US production, particularly of urban transit buses.

China Bus Market


Quick Overview: Fuel Usage » There is a disparity between how trucks and buses use fuel » The majority of all trucks and buses in China are powered by diesel (97%). » The city bus is an exception: 12% are powered by CNG, 5% by gasoline. » Government NEV support has definitely favored public sector bus fleets versus any truck fleets. » However – we are privately tracking a rapidly growing natural gas truck & bus market; at least 60,000 M/HD CNG & LNG vehicles last year. 16
