autoconsumo (o consumo de vehículos)
Explanation:
En general, en los textos escritos originalmente en inglés por angloparlantes, lo vi como "autoconsumo". Pero en muchas paginas web chinas se ve como "consumo de autos o vehículos".

In summary, Figure 1 reveals three stylized facts: 1) auto consumption (the imputed income of goods produced and consumed within the household) contributes about 30 percent to the income of poor households and rapidly declines for richer households; 2) sales of agricultural products represent about 40 percent of the income of the poor. This percentage rapidly declines for richer households; 3) the richer the household is, the more important is labor income (wages and own-enterprises).

China to Have Its Auto Consumption Policy

As is learned from some departments concerned, an auto consumption policy is being drafted in China. Two aspects are to be stressed by this policy. One is to encourage car purchasing by individuals in the light of the auto industry policy. Two, to back purchasing of lightweight and energy-saving cars. Otherwise any local policies to limit car consumption will be strictly prohibited.

Sources say the auto consumption policy which is about to be promulgated involves mainly tax management, city construction coordination, credit policy and consumption encouragement.

Autocombustión.


Explanation:
No soy de ningún modo especialista, pero veo que se trata de defectos de un motor. Recuerdo que el motor de un viejo coche mío seguía funcionando después de haberlo apagado... y se le llamaba así, autocombustión.

consumo proprio


Explanation:
The English is bad - should be "own consumption."

Es una frase comun en la area de produccion, por ejemplo:



Example sentence(s):
  • Total sales + losses + own consumption
  • consumo proprio y el exceso de la producción. para el mercado.
