After three decades of rapid economic growth, China became the world's
second largest economy in 2010 after the USA. Along with the prospect of
lifting millions out of poverty and improving living standards, China is
facing yet new challenges of rapid urbanization. Without strategic
innovations in the automotive industry and transport management system the
current state of China's transport sector is not sustainable. Long-term
sustainable solutions are likely to emerge from the interplay of economic,
environmental, social and technological factors.


This Special Issue of the Journal of Sustainable Mobility (JSM), partnered
with the Second International Symposium on Sustainable Mobility
