In terms of a general contribution towards world pollution China, in a range of categories, must rank pretty high; with its soaring population, congested cities, and vast industry, spewing out fumes and waste by the day.

As the world’s fastest growing auto market (according to the National Bureau of Statistics) things only look to get worse, with CO2 emissions rocketing.

In an attempt to stem the tide Chinese car makers – Dongfeng Motor Corporation, in joint effort with a Dutch-based company (mirroring Detroit Electric’s agreement with Malaysian carmaker Protonis)are aiming to develop and manufacture electric cars.

The exact details of the deal have not been released but the two companies have also been discussing forming a joint venture to: “manufacture, assemble, produce and supply the Detroit Electric’s electric drive technology to the Dongfeng Group and other vehicle manufacturers”.

If successful Detroit Electric would be leading the way in the mass-production of electric cars. And we are not just talking about hybrids here, but cars driven entirely by a noiseless battery-powered motor, .

“The more I learn, the more I believe the electric car is the future,” said Mr CEO of Detroit Electrics Albert Lam.

Consumers hoping to reduce their carbon footprint may find that the purchase of new car parts online could lead to increased performance that will lower excess emissions.
