New Guide on Data Collection for Emission Quantification in Chinese Cities
In order to enable environmental authorities in Chinese cities to generate a regular emissions inventory of the transport sector, GIZ China published the guide “Monitoring Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions of Transport Activities in Chinese Cities – A Step-by-Step Guide to Data Collection”. The report was developed as an output for the TRANSfer project, which is […]
Feasibility of Carsharing Concepts in China
From the emergence of Chinese carsharing services in 2009 until today, more than 330,000 people signed up for a carsharing membership in China – equivalent to almost one third of the total number of carsharing members in Germany, one of the world’s largest carsharing markets. Considering that carsharing in China is still at an embryonic […]
A Comprehensive Approach for Road Safety – The Example of Germany [CN Version]

“Transport Demand Management in Beijing – Emission Reduction in Urban Transport” – Achievements of a Sino-German Cooperation Project
Air pollution, congestion, traffic accidents – the list of negative effects of the constantly growing volume of vehicle traffic in Beijing is long. Despite several policies that restrict vehicle registration and usage, between 2010 and 2014 alone the number of private passenger cars in the Chinese capital Beijing grew from 4.5 to 5.6 million vehicles. […]
Workshop on Sustainable Financing for Urban Public Transport in China
