2016 GCC Best Performing Small Cars

The Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation (iCET) is a not-for-profit NGO registered in both Beijing and California. iCET is a trusted leader in providing innovative support to policy-makers, industry players and consumers for promoting clean transportation and carbon management capacity building in China. iCET’s mission is to promote better air quality, reduce greenhouse gas (hereafter known as GHG) emissions and oil dependency.

In 2006, iCET received the support of the Energy Foundation for promoting the China Green Car System (initially named Environmentally Friendly Vehicle System). In collaboration with China’s Vehicle Emissions Control Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection (VECC-MEP), and under the

guidance of the selected American Council for Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) a China-specific vehicle life-cycle assessment methodology was developed.

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 The Innovation Center for periodic calculation update and created an EV evaluation method. In 2016 Energy and Transportation iCET have included plug-in hybrids into the ranked segments.

What should one do?

. Purchase a Green Car: Use the China Green Car online system (greencarchina.org) to select a car that suits your needs and has a good green rating. Since cars have a major impact on city air pollution, your choice of car and driving behavior will affect urban air quality. . Purchase a fuel-efficient car: Use the fuel consumption label to identify a car that consumes less fuel per km driven. This will reduce your car’s use-phase pollutant and

CO2 emissions, as well as reduce your fuel costs. . Reduce your mileage: Cars are accountable for as much as a third of China’s air pollution. You can contribute to pollution reduction by reducing your diving mileage, using public transport when possible, and sharing a car with a friend. . Maintain your car: The greatest local air pollution impact of your car occurs during its use-phase. Maintain your car well to reduce its fuel consumption. For example, keep wheels’ air pressure high and keep speed acceleration at a minimum.

. Improve your driving habits: try to reduce the number and length of time you press the gasoline pedal; drive around 90kmh when regulation and road conditions permit.

Green Car China Introduction

• Green Score (GS) A life-cycle analysis of vehicles’ environmental and health evaluation index, ranging from 0 to 10, with the higher the score, the better performing the vehicle. The green score evaluation is based on four main factors: tailpipe emissions, fuel type, fuel consumption, and fuel weight. This is the main index used for measurement.

• Blue Score (BS) A vehicle tailpipe emissions resulted heath impact rating index ranging from 0 to 10, where the higher the index value, the better the car performs. The smog index is based on figures provided by the Vehicle Emissions Control Canter of China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection. The blue score is the secondary index for measurement.

• Calculation and Ranking Methods Please kindly refer to iCET’s website’s report page to download the updated China Green Car Methodology Upgrade Report (dated Feb 2015): http://www.icet.org.cn

Green Car China Ranking Highlights

• Independent: As a third party organization, iCET provides an objective and independent green rating.

• Practical: Based on global best practices combined with China-specific elements and data, iCET provides a reliable localized China Green Car evaluation system.

• Transparent: China Green Score system’s methodology and analysis results are available online for free, as well as its annual report.

• Consistent: China Green Car system was first published in 2010 and has been updated every year since.

Green Car China: Vehicle Categories

This report makes use of the vehicle classification provided by Sina, under the assumption that as one of China’s largest consumer portals, a more consumer oriented vehicle segmentation will be available rather than using the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) official segmentation. The segmentation is based on vehicle size and electric motor as illustrated in the below table. Plug-in Hybrids were added this year.

Category Description

Conventional Refers to vehicles that make use of electricity in the drive train of the vehicle, but that Hybrid do not receive electricity from a source external to the vehicle.

A0/A00-class car, wheelbase between 2 and 2.5 meters, engine generally between 0.8 Small Car and 1.6 liters.

Compact Car A-class car, wheelbase between 2.5 and 2.7 meters, engine between 1.6 and 2.0 liters.

Medium Car B-class car, wheelbase between 2.6 and 2.8 meters, engine between 2.0 and 2.4 liters.

Medium Large Executive, C-class car, wheelbase normally over 2.8 meters, engine between 2.5 and Car 3.0 liters.

D-class car, wheelbase roughly 3 meters, perhaps longer. Engine generally 3 liters and Luxury Car above.

Multi-Purpose Vehicle, usually has a one compartment structure with the ability to MPV function as a passenger car, travelling car, and transport vehicle. Engine usually 2 liters and above.

Sport Utility Vehicle, to a certain extent can serve as a comfortable passenger car and SUV an off-road vehicle. Normally has an engine of 2.0 liters and above, has four-wheel drive.

Usually only has two doors with a hard or soft retractable roof. Engine is usually larger Sports Car than normal passenger vehicles with superior acceleration and faster top speed.

PHEV Green Score is based on health and environmental impacts along life-cycle Plug-in Hybrid excluding the fuel source (electricity), making the score incomparable to other (PHEV) segment models’ scores. For the same reason, PHEVs Blue Score and fuel cost are not available.

. Initial assessment: According to each model’s official fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, curb weight and other parameters, the relative ranking of each vehicle model is calculated to form the CGC Index and Smog Index.

. Green Car ranking finalists: The top ranked vehicle models for each vehicle segment, in both CGC Index and Smog Index, were shortlisted and declared as this years’ CGC ranking finalists. . Green Car award: Through publically tested energy savings and vehicle emissions reductions,

iCET will complete its annual 2016 China Green Car ranking and reward best-performing companies in an official and broadly-covered awards ceremony.

. Campaign: The participating companies and collaborators will be well covered by our strategic media partners through online and offline public attracting communication activities.

Green Driving Tips

Green driving = less money on the pump + better air quality

When you limit your speed to 90 km/h, you save fuel and improve your city’s air quality!

Maintain a steady speed using the highest gear possible and driving with low engine RPM Buy green car

Anticipate the road and traffic flow as far ahead as possible to avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.

Use is wisely Check tire pressures regularly as underinflated tires add to your cars’ fuel consumption.

Save money! When decelerating, driving downhill or stopping, Breath cleaner remain in gear but to step off the accelerator as early as air! possible, for example when approaching a red light or a roundabout.

Switch the engine off if you’re going to be stationary for more than a minute or so. Even turning an engine off for just 10-20 seconds would lead to net benefits since the CO2 emissions avoided & fuel saved would be greater than the restart penalty.

The force required to accelerate or to lift an object is proportional to its mass. Avoid carrying

unnecessary weight!

iCET Clean Transportation Transformation Program Introduction

Program mission: Reduce oil dependency, GHG emissions, and air pollution of China’s transport sector through policies and implementation.

Since its inception in 2004, iCET has been devoted to the enhancement of clean private transportation in China through engagement of international, national, and local governments, third-party collaborators, and research institutions with which it established strong strategic partnerships.

Currently, iCET’s Clean Transportation Program includes the following major work streams: 1) .
