Summary
Co-controlling the emissions of air pollutants and CO<sub>2</sub> from automobiles is crucial for addressing the intertwined challenges of air pollution and climate change in China. Here, we analyze the synergetic characteristics of air pollutant and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from China's on-road transportation and identify the co-drivers influencing these trends. Using detailed emission inventories and employing index decomposition analysis, we found that despite notable progress in pollution control, minimizing on-road CO<sub>2</sub> emissions remains a formidable task. Over 2010-2020, the estimated sectoral emissions of VOCs, NO<sub><i>x</i></sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub>, and CO declined by 49.9%, 25.9%, 75.2%, and 63.5%, respectively, while CO<sub>2</sub> emissions increased by 46.1%.
