Nanjing (China)

About

ENGLISH

Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu province, with an area of 6,596 square kilometres and a population of over 9 million. It is located in the heart of eastern China and the lower reaches of Yangtze River, making it an important transportation hub in China. With the rapid growth of urban economies, the intensive use of vehicles in this heavily industrialised city poses the challenge of excessive emissions from urban road traffic. To mitigate road traffic emissions, in 2007, Nanjing City established the Center for Motor Vehicle Pollution Monitoring and Management, aimed at preventing and controlling air pollution emitted from over 2.2 million vehicles. The Center is equipped with five sets of remote sensing monitoring equipment, in cooperation with the public security department, to carry out random road tests.

MODALES road trials in Nanjing are focused on reducing emissions from road transport by encouraging the adoption of low emission driving behaviours, with the help of solutions developed by the project, thus improving air quality and benefiting the local economy.

南京是江苏省的省会，面积6,596平方公里，人口超过900万。它位于中国东部的中心地带以及长江下游，是国家重要的交通枢纽。由于城市经济的快速增长，在这个重工业城市，汽车的广泛使用给城市道路交通排放带来了挑战。为缓解道路交通排放，2007年，南京市成立了机动车污染监测管理中心，旨在预防和控制220多万辆汽车排放的空气污染。该中心配备了5套遥感监测设备，与公安部门合作，进行道路抽检。

MODALES的实际路测是借助于该项目的研究及开发等解决方案，通过鼓励采用低排放驾驶行为来减少道路交通的排放，从而改善空气质量, 造福当地经济。
