Assessment for Fuel Consumption and Exhaust Emissions of China’s Vehicles: Future Trends and Policy Implications

Table 3

Statuses and planning targets of domestic and foreign vehicle average fuel consumption per hundred kilometers per car.

	Current	2015	2020	2025
China	8.25^1	7.5^2	5.78^3	—
Japan	6.13 [15]	—	4.93 [15]	—
EU	6.13 [16]	5.46 [15]	3.99 [15]	2.94 [16]
USA	7.50 [15]	—	—	4.31 [15]

Unit: L/100 km.
Tips: ¹8.25 = (1 + 0.1) × 7.50, according to the report that current fuel consumption in China was 10% higher than that of USA (available on http://www.find800.cn/news/bus/ye/110930/12778.html).
²7.5 = 7 × 0.75 + 9 × 0.25, according to [17, 18] and weights for passenger car and commercial car in China.
³5.78 = 5 × 0.75 + 8.1 × 0.25, the same as Tip 2.
