How the world’s fastest growing automotive marketing
is embracing new powertrain technologies
From the publishers
of Engine Technology
International magazine
The magazine
Engine Technology China is a brand-new
publication dedicated to presenting the latest
powertrain technologies and services to China’s
ever-expanding automotive, truck, bus and coach
and off-highway vehicle market – official reports
state the Chinese market is still growing at just
over 8%.
This exclusive, one-off publication, published by
the team behind the long-established and globally
respected Engine Technology International, will
be written entirely in Mandarin and circulated
throughout China to all of the significant designers
and manufacturers of engines in the country.
Almost 4,000 copies will be distributed within
China to a database that has been developed by
our in-house team of fluent Chinese-language
researchers – not a single copy will be mailed to an
unnamed engineer or key decision maker.
Featuring 150+ pages and perfect-bound, Engine
Technology China will utilize our proven formula of
showcasing the latest engine developments with
case studies, interviews and insightful reviews.
Emission control will be a key focus with the
Chinese Government imposing more and more
legislation in-line with Western standards, while
engine testing and durability will also have a
prominent presence as quality becomes ever more
significant in the market.

With different provinces adhering to varying emissions
laws, tailpipe pollution has become the all-encompassing
problem for car makers and engine suppliers in China
n China is a nation with huge
pollution problems, especially in
the cities that are home to the
majority of its population, which
is currently heading towards 1.4
billion. Traffic, although a much
smaller contributor than the
coal-burning power stations,
blast furnaces and other
industrial facilities, is adding to
the problem as more Chinese
acquire the wealth to own cars.
Linked to China’s accelerated
economic growth is the fueldependent transportation sector
– which is growing at an even
faster rate. Vehicle emissions

clinging to the eastern seaboard
of China that the authorities have
resorted to banning private cars
on some days. The nation and its
government knows it is under
world scrutiny, but instead of
legislating for modern antipollution standards for all
vehicles sold across China, the
government allows those in lesspopulated areas to buy new
vehicles hardly any cleaner than
models launched 50 years ago.
One man who has experience
of the Chinese automotive sector
– specifically the truck market –
is Robert Perkins, vice-president
of sales and marketing at Jacobs
Vehicle Systems. He says the
steps to clean up China’s vehicle
emissions are driven by two
things: “One, the global
pressures – whether that’s the
Olympics in 2008 or the World
Fair in 2010 – or just the
number of westerners going to
China because of the economic
activity. The east coast, mainly
the Shanghai/Beijing area, has
been so polluted in the past that
they’ve had to face it and clean
up emissions from passenger
cars, trucks and buses.
“The second factor is that in
the rural areas – predominantly
