The "Vehicle Carbon Footprint Snap" campaign has sparked questioning: Why is the carbon footprint of Mercedes-Benz cars consistently high? Which sector of production has a greater impact on a vehicle's carbon footprint? Why do cars that look extremely similar have such vastly different carbon footprints in different market contexts? What is the current situation and what are the problems regarding carbon footprint management in Chinese automotive enterprises? How should work proceed in the future? To address these questions, CPCD invited special guests Ma Jun, Director of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE) and Ning Lizhe, automotive industry practitioner for an interview.
