The last thing Beijing really needs are more cars.

Australian powersports company VMoto has recently announced that it will build hybrid and electric scoots in its Nanjing factory, and market them to the Chinese market later this year.

In the face of near-apocalyptic reports of smog and congestion in Beijing in the run-up to the Olympics, the world focus has shifted to the problem of transport in China. And with VMoto's success in Spain and the Middle East, the company is poised to make strides in an economy in dire need of a transport revolution.
