Abstract

To address the current problems including energy and environmental pressures as well as climbing oil prices, governments and consumers have been increasingly focused on fuel economy. Combined fuel consumption of passenger vehicles (L/100km) is applied as an important indicator in industry management and consumer promotion. Because fuel consumption is affected by various factors such as curb weight, power and space, combined fuel consumption fails to fully reflect vehicle energy efficiency ability. In this article, the problem of how to establish an indicator system to comprehensively reflect vehicle energy efficiency competitiveness will be discussed. With comprehensive consideration of various indicators, China's gasoline-powered passenger vehicles in 2015 will be analysed by the approach of factor analysis, and an indicator system reflecting passenger vehicle energy efficiency competitiveness and comprehensive competitiveness will be proposed.
