In 2025, the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) and Green Jiangnan, together with nine other environmental organizations, jointly launched the “Vehicle Carbon Footprint Snap” campaign. The active participation of Blue Map App users unlocked the product carbon footprints of more than 280,000 vehicles via street snap, revealing total emissions exceeding 10.26 million tons of CO?. Notably, Volvo Cars' average carbon footprint of the photographed models was 306 grams per kilometer, higher than that of 89.3% of brands in the observed sample. To accelerate low-carbon transformation of China’s automotive sector and provide consumers with more environmentally sustainable choices, the eleven environmental organizations collectively sent an open letter to leading automakers. Several Chinese and international brands responded constructively and engaged in dialogue and exchanges. However, Volvo has yet to provide any response to date.
