This paper analyzed the characteristics of vehicle emissions in Shanghai in the past five years. The potential reduction in road traffic related emissions due to the promotion and application of electric vehicle in Shanghai was evaluated. The potential reduction was quantified by vehicular emissions. The vehicular emissions inventories are calculated by the COPERT IV model under the different scenarios, of which the results indicate that promoting electric vehicles is the efficient measure to control all road traffic related emissions and improve urban air quality. The results also provided basis and support for making policies to promote and manage electric vehicles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su13020496","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,7]],"date-time":"2021-01-07T01:06:50Z","timestamp":1609981610000},"page":"496","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["The Potential Impacts of Electric Vehicles on Urban Air Quality in Shanghai City"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xiaojian","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Urban ITS, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Province Collaborative Innovation Center of Modern Urban Traffic Technologies, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"},{"name":"School of Transportation, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nuo","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Urban ITS, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Province Collaborative Innovation Center of Modern Urban Traffic Technologies, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"},{"name":"School of Transportation, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Urban ITS, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Province Collaborative Innovation Center of Modern Urban Traffic Technologies, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"},{"name":"School of Transportation, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bicheng","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"39","article-title":"Research on Low-Carbon Transportation Planning Based on GHG Emission","volume":"34","author":"Nie","year":"2019","journal-title":"Transp.
