摘要：
Transportation vehicle manufacturing plays a crucial role in achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the transport sector. Currently, the literature on the net-zero transformation for transportation vehicles primarily focuses on electrification, with limited exploration on transformation for the transportation vehicle manufacturing sector in a holistic way. Moreover, the transportation vehicle manufacturing sector in Taiwan exhibits distinctive characteristics depending on the type of vehicles. First, regarding automobile, most automakers engage in technical collaboration with parent companies abroad and are obliged to follow parent companies’ specifications from design to marketing. This business model also indirectly restricts auto parts manufacturers’ decisions in operation. Second, with regards to motorcycles and scooters, motorcycle manufacturers have been connecting with local market for over 60 years and possess the ability to design and manufacture independently, with over 95% local content rate. In other words, motorcycles and parts manufacturing has a complete local supply chain and distinctive business model. In summary, due to their operational characteristics, the automotive and motorcycle manufacturing industries are facing varying degrees of pressure to transition to net-zero emissions.
Besides, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a major part of the transportation vehicle manufacturing sector in Taiwan, as a result, the sector faces shortages in human resources and financial resources. The purpose of this research is to identify priorities for the transportation vehicle manufacturing sector in Taiwan in transitioning to net-zero. To ensure the objectivity and authenticity of the research results, we interviewed representative automakers and motorcycle manufacturers such as SYM, KYMCO, China Motor Corporation, Honda Taiwan, LUXGEN, Kuozui Motors, Yulon Motor, Ford, Yamaha Motor Taiwan and Gogoro, as well as key suppliers, senior managers, scholars and government officials through expert meetings to have their insights from stakeholders’ point of view. In the meantime, by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), different aspects of net-zero practices were decomposed into hierarchical levels (Table 1), and through quantitative analysis, the priorities for the dimensions, strategies and measures for Taiwan's transportation vehicle manufacturing sector were determined.
