Abstract
The transport industry is the main sector of China’s energy consumption, while the urban transport is the main way of China’s carbon emissions. Therefore, the development of low carbon transport is not only the significant way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, but also the inevitable trend for future development of transport industry. This paper introduces the present status and fundamental connotation, characteristics and implementation path of low carbon transport. On such basis, this paper illustrates the international experiences of low carbon transport, and analyzes the main problems existing in the development of urban low carbon transport in China. This paper also provides the countermeasures and suggestions regarding the development of low carbon transport in China.

The low carbon transport is a concept proposed under the background of global response to climate change and a sort of transport development pattern with the fundamental characteristics of low energy consumption, low emission and low pollution
The low carbon transport is the low energy consumption and low emission transport method that aims at reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of transport behavior, and a sort of realization method of low carbon economy within the transport field
Summary
The low carbon transport is a concept proposed under the background of global response to climate change and a sort of transport development pattern with the fundamental characteristics of low energy consumption, low emission and low pollution. The low carbon transport is the low energy consumption and low emission transport method that aims at reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of transport behavior, and a sort of realization method of low carbon economy within the transport field. Compared with the green transport, the low carbon transport puts more emphasis on the "low emission" concept In other words, it minimizes the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission, and answers the carbon emission value under two scenarios before and after the implementation of low carbon measures, and the improvement degree of transport status. The low carbon transport is the basis and prerequisite of green transport and the necessary means to realize the green transport
