To support Guangzhou's efforts to improve air quality in preparation for the 2010 Asian Games, the World Bank and CAI-Asia Center implemented a pilot project aimed at improving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions and air pollution from trucks. Preparations are now underway for a broader freight and logistics program in Guangdong Province and China, in collaboration with World Bank, Cascade Sierra Solutions and U.S. EPA, and making use of the US experience with the Smartway program for freight. Freight is not yet getting enough attention compared to other transport modes. This is why we developed a 10-minute film about our trucks pilot project in English and Mandarin to be able to share the results with a larger audience.

The Guangzhou Green Trucks Pilot Project is supported by the Australian Government, AusAid, and by the Energy Sector Management Assurance Program (ESMAP)
