Guangdong International Green Freight Fair & Workshop held in Shenzhen

 

“Guangdong Province is committed to making its freight sector greener and more competitive at the same time” stated Mr. Yang Xiping, Deputy Director General of the Guangdong Department of Transport at the launch ceremony. “Energy efficient technologies are one way of achieving this and the government can facilitate making technologies more accessible for trucking companies.“ Under the project, companies can avail government rebates for energy efficient technologies installed on their trucks, covering tires, aerodynamics, and driver behavior diagnostic systems. Cash rewards will also be granted to them if they operate the installed technologies and provide required monitoring and evaluation reports.

 

According to the Ministry of Transport, China’s road freight transport accounts for 44% of total transport sector fuel consumption, which is about 15% of total national crude oil, and emitting about 350 million tons of CO2 in 2010. “The potential for savings is huge because the fuel efficiency of trucks running on roads in China is about 30% lower than that in advanced OECD countries,” explained Mr. Ede Ijjasz, Sector Manager, China Sustainable Development Unit, World Bank.

 

The Guangdong International Green Freight Trade Fair, which kick-started the project, aimed to make truck companies more familiar with available technologies on the Chinese market. Over sixty policy makers, truck companies, and international experts discussed at the Guangdong Green Freight Workshop how to maximize fuel savings through the project and make maximum use of existing international experience. “The greatest opportunities for international collaboration lie in clean technology verification, best practices in freight logistics, and fuel and CO2 emissions monitoring and reporting.” CAI-Asia’s Executive Director Sophie Punte said. “CAI-Asia will continue to support Guangdong Province and China to use the Guangdong project as a platform for stakeholders to make green freight a reality.”

广东国际绿色货运展示会
亚洲最大的国际物流与交通运输博览会的组成部分，由广东省交通厅与亚洲城市清洁空气行动中心共同筹办

 

2011 年10月12日－广东省政府与亚洲城市清洁空气行动中心共同举办了广东国际绿色货运展示会，该展示会还得到了中国交通运输部、世界银行和全球环境基金的支 持，与“中国（深圳）国际物流与交通运输博览会”同时举办。该博览会极具规模，吸引了上万人观展，定位“亚洲第一、世界第二”。 在会上，广东省政府还启动了以支持货车车队提高燃油效率和减少温室气体排放为目的的广东绿色货运示范项目。该项目是广东省政府、世界银行和全球环境基金 (GEF)的合作项目，资金规模达一千四百万美金

 

“广东省正致力于使货运部门更环保，同时更具竞争力” 广东省交通运输部副厅长杨细平在项目启动仪式中强调。同时他提到 “节能技术是实现这一目标的方式之一，政府可以促进绿色技术和货运公司的交流合作。”在本项目中，货运公司可受益于政府提供的绿色货运购置返款优惠，在他 们的卡车上安装涵盖轮胎、空气动力学以及驾驶行为诊断系统等的节能设备。同时，良好配合技术运行监测和报告机制的企业还将获得政府授予的绩效奖金。

 

根 据交通运输部的研究，道路货运部门的燃油消耗占整个交通部门燃油消耗量的44％，既约占全国原油消耗量的15％，在2010年排放了约350万吨二氧化 碳。 世界银行中国蒙古局副局长翌艾德先生指出“中国货运行业的节能潜力是巨大的，因为在中国道路上运行的卡车的燃油效率比先进的经合组织国家低30％左右。”

 

作 为项目启动的重要环节－－广东国际绿色货运展示会-为货运公司熟悉中国市场上的现有绿色技术搭建平台。同期举办的广东绿色货运研讨会在，六十余名高层政策 决策者、货运公司和国际专家应邀讨论，共同商议如何最大限度地通过本项目增进节省减排效果，并最大程度地利用现有的国际经验。亚洲城市清洁空气行动中心执 行总监苏菲女士说“国际合作的最大机会在于清洁技术的验证，货运物流最佳实践、以及油耗和二氧化碳排放监测和报告（领域）， 亚洲城市清洁空气行动组织将一如既往地支持中国，以广东绿色货运示范项目作为利益攸关方（对话）平台，使绿色货运成为现实”。

The objectives of the Guangdong Green Freight Demonstration Project are to demonstrate the global and local environmental benefits of the application of energy efficient vehicle technologies and operating techniques, and to support improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the road freight transport sector in Guangdong, China. This project has four components:

 

►Green truck technology demonstrations which includes facilitating communication and cooperation among energy efficient vehicle technology suppliers, freight carriers, freight shippers, and other key stakeholders. In addition, it enables Project participant access to government and commercial financing, including the provision of financing of green freight technology rebates and performance-based payments.

 

►Green freight logistics demonstrations including the carrying out of market studies for drop and hook logistics methods and a proposed provincial logistics brokerage platform, and assisting in demonstration exercises of such methods and platform, through the provision of financing of green freight technology rebates and performance-based payments.

 

►Capacity building by providing technical advisory services for the preparation of green freight policy research papers, delivery of training for government officials and enterprise managers, and promotion of the Project and green freight development, including support to the Guangdong green freight websites.

 

►Project implementation support including the provision of technical advisory services for Project implementation, stakeholder consultations, Project results evaluation and dissemination, as well as Project management.
