Abstract
Real Time Monitoring ‚RTM’ is a new way to monitor the movements and activities of a vehicle. RTM is when data is being transmitted in real time from a car to a central database. In the Peoples Republic of China, New Energy Vehicles ‚NEVs’ must be equipped with technology that supports RTM in order to receive the right to be manufactured. This amount of data traffic at the currently planned NEVs (5 Million Units) in 2020 will result in 850.000 GBs a year. Based on the estimations, within four years 4.552,51 Tons of CO2 will be generated annually through the real time monitoring of NEVs. As long as most of China‘s energy supply is generated through coal factories, the expected benefits of NEVs cannot be realised. The CO2 emission problem will not be solved but only relocated from cities to suburban areas (location of coal factories).
