China a world leader in clean vehicle production? Well, that’s the aim. As China moves to reduce their swelling greenhouse gas emissions, the central government has announced they will commit 1.5billion dollars annually to developing the electric vehicle industry over the next ten years. Kicking off the program in Shenzhen — one of the fastest growing cities in the world — the government has just put a trial electric taxi project in play. If successful, the program will result in half a million electric vehicles and plugins throughout the country by 2015.
