Last Autumn the Michelin Tire Company held its annual "Bibendum" event in Shanghai with the goal of advancing sustainable mobility worldwide.
Michelin picked China again this year in its continued effort to pave the "way forward to a more fuel-efficient, cleaner, safer and less congested road mobility which is respectful of both people and the environment."
As I see it Michelin realizes that China has an opportunity to do this automobile thing differently, namely, in a people friendly way.
It was good to see Chinese manufacturers/institutions taking the challenge and making an investment that will surely pay dividends.
The ones who made a statement that they care about a "Green China" are as follows:
SAIC
Lifan
Chery
Wanxiang Auto Parts
Kinglong Bus
Yutong Bus
Guangzhou Bus
Sunwin Bus
Tongji University School of Automotive Engineering
Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Automotive Engineering
Foreign joint venture partners that also showed that they care about the China that sustains them are:
Hyundai
VW Audi
Daimler-Chrysler
Ford
BMW
Toyota
Nissan-Renault
PSA Peugeot Citroen
GM
Yeah you say, its just good for business, but you gotta give these guys credit for having a vision, and for showing a concern for the ones who will inherit this fragile planet of ours. It is indeed a good investment........
