Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in road transport towards the the "EV Age"

Abstract

Since the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the production, consumption, and energy utilization of humans have been excessively dependent on fossil fuels. The development and utilization of fossil energy result in the generation of a substantial quantity of greenhouse gases, which leads to significant ecological damage. In various industries, road transport has become a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions due to its excessive use of fossil fuels. Given the escalating global climate degradation and growing concerns over energy security, nations have prioritized low-carbon transportation as a pivotal strategy to address climate deterioration and achieve sustainable development. As the key to the development of low-carbon transportation, new energy vehicles have the advantages of low emissions, high efficiency and low noise, which can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality. This essay discusses the status, existing problems and shortcomings of traditional fuel vehicles under the new global sustainable development strategy, and explains the advantages and disadvantages of new energy vehicles, especially electrical vehicles (EV) under the current situation by comparative methods. Finally, combined with the current development status of new energy vehicles in China and foreign countries, the future development trend of new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles is analyzed. Based on the theme of the conference, this essay draws a reasonable conclusion that new energy vehicles can significantly impact the upskilling and reskilling of the transportation industry in the coming period, and can improve transportation efficiency, ensure transportation quality, solve the current greenhouse gas emissions problem.
