| Summary: | The World Bank (WB) initiated a pilot
project - dubbed "Guangzhou Green Trucks Pilot
Project" in support of Guangzhou's efforts to
improve air quality in preparation for the 2010 Asian Games.
The goal of this project was to develop a "proof of
concept" for a truck program in Guangdong Province and
China that aims to : Enhance the fuel economy of the truck
fleet, reduce black carbon and other air pollutants from
trucks, and consequently obtain GHG emission savings.This
document is the Survey Report, which summarizes the results
of a survey of truck drivers and companies conducted between
June 17, 2009 and June 23, 2009. The survey intends to fill
the gaps in information needed to determine the program
design and the potential fuel savings and emission
reductions through a wider green freight program. |
