Technological cooperation with the PR of China - joint research on methanol vehicles

Abstract

In the People`s Republic of China the introduction of methanol as a fuel for the constantly increasing motor vehicle population is one of the main emphasis of the current 8th 5-Year Plan. In a trial programme of initially two years` duration, which has now been extended to the end of 1993, the feasibility of the use of methanol and the adaptation to Chinese conditions are to be tested. Since the end of 1987 eight methanol-fueled VW vehicles have been running in Beijing. Additional test with methanol engines are being carried out at several research institutes. The programme is organized by the State Science Technology Commission of China (SSTC) in close cooperation with the VW Research Department and the Shanghai Volkswagen Company (SVW). This intermediate report describes test results mainly of the Chinese Research Group in the years 1989/1991 and gives an overview of energy resources and the auto industry in China. (orig.)

[Deutsch] In der Volksrepublik China ist die Erprobung von Methanol als Kraftstoff fuer den staendig zunehmenden Strassenverkehr einer der Schwerpunkte derzeitiger Entwicklungsplaene (8. 5-Jahres Plan). In einem zunaechst auf zwei Jahre begrenzten, inzwischen jedoch bis Ende 1993 verlaengerten Programm, soll der praktische Einsatz von Methanolkraftstoff getestet werden. Seit Ende 1987 befinden sich in Beijing (Peking) 8 VW-Methanolfahrzeuge im Einsatz, weitere Untersuchungen mit Methanolmotoren fanden an verschiedenen Forschungsinstituten statt. Das Programm wird in enger Kooperation zwischen den chinesischen Partnern unter der organisatorischen Leitung der State Science Technology Commission of China (SSTC) und der Konzernforschung von Volkswagen sowie Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) durchgefuehrt. Der vorliegende 2. Zwischenbericht beschreibt hauptsaechlich Versuchsergebnisse der chinesischen Testgruppe in den Jahren 1989 bis 1991 und gibt einen Ueberblick ueber die Energiesituation und die Automobilindustrie in China.
