China is second only to the United States, the world's second largest oil consumer, last year's oil imports increased by 12 percent or more. And a large number compared to the domestic oil resources, and in the Middle East and other major oil-producing areas have troops stationed in the United States, China's energy security vulnerable to much can be said to be the world's most oil-dependent countries. In addition, China is the world's major powers pollution: the world's top ten polluted cities, eight in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, in its all out. The biggest challenge Beijing Olympic Games torch relay is nothing but air. The world's top marathoners have refused to Beijing contestants. In order to ensure air quality barely clearance, the Government is close to fully take emergency measures, including Beijing over 3.3 million vehicles during the Olympic Games in half of decommissioning.
But it is at this crucial moment, the Beijing Auto Show uploaded to the shocking news: The fuel consumption is also the most vulnerable polluting vehicles SUV, the world's major developed countries put on the market, sales in China Flourishing. For example, the most popular SUV in the United States, SUV
In the past year (ending March) sales dropped by 22 percent this year, China's SUV sales are expected to rise 40-45 percent. And even the world's car, put the SUV Maibuchuqu get a simulated operation been staged in China.
This abnormal development of the automotive market, reflects a deformity of the society and social policy, if not checked, in the next few years will seriously threaten China's energy security, environmental protection, quality of life, and economic development. First, China's oil price is basically the world's oil importing countries in the cheapest: half a gallon to 20, equivalent to 2.9 U.S. dollars (now the price may have been changes). And the United States as the world's leading countries of cheap oil, a gallon in some states has reached more than 4 U.S. dollars. In Germany, a gallon was more than eight U.S. dollars. The Chinese Government to intervene oil prices to curb inflation and protect the basic livelihood of ordinary people. However, the benefit from this policy in the largest, is a luxury car or SUV can afford the affluent class. Even ordinary cars, a Toyota Camry in China at up to 210,000 more than the ordinary Chinese workers, about 10 times the income. The prices of high-end SUV times here, some only open a gallon of 12 miles (general of the energy efficiency of energy-saving models are times here, the United States is currently discussing a 60 miles a gallon of energy-saving standards). Such vehicles can afford the affluent class tantamount to government subsidies for oil consumption, consumption of highways and other infrastructure, create pollution, the last to solve the energy, the environment, and infrastructure investment, but also passed on to ordinary people on. More importantly, such a policy is tantamount to encouraging the development of fuel consumption models. SUV, and so become a trend, it will increase demand for oil, ultimately further intensify the pressure on oil prices.
Not long ago, major cities to small emissions of the vehicle ban, many local governments more embodies the pro-rich mentality. Yes, many of cheap small cars emission models of energy efficiency is very low. To address this problem, is to establish a certain energy efficiency of the Statute, but to allow small emissions of equality in the market competition. After all, China and developing countries. Small emissions for the broader consumer's economic capacity, but also because of light body, as long as the basic solution of technical problems on the fuel-efficient than large cars. At present, India is committed to the development of cheap cars, the European micro-car popular not only in the European market, will immediately enter North America. China is now in a hot SUV, out of touch with the world trend. China in the next 10 years will replace the U.S. as the world's largest automotive market. Most of China's auto population overcrowded concentrated in large cities, small cars more suited to the Chinese way of life. In addition, the Chinese car manufacturers fear that the advantages of small cars rather than in large cars. If our social policy is always tilted to the model, then not only harmful to China's energy strategy, urban environment, but also restricted the China's auto industry.
