China's car sector is falling short on its 2060 'net zero' target

according to environment group Greenpeace

Greenpeace estimates the sector's total carbon emissions

are likely to plateau at 1.9 billion tons

and will steadily drop 11% by 2035

But the country needs to cut emissions by at least 20% by 2035

if it is to stay on track towards net zero by 2060

"The ideal response is for car makers in China to completely phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030." (Bao Hang, Greenpeace Asia)

China says electric vehicles should make up 20% of sales by 2025

and then become the 'mainstream' by 2035
