Cars
Sold in Beijing to Meet New Emission Standards
BEIJING,
Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese capital Beijing will ban
the sale of new cars failing to meet new emission
standards equivalent to Euro IV starting from March
1, a further move to cut air pollution and host a
"green" Olympic Games.
All
the new light petro vehicles that are on sale in the
Beijing market shall have to meet the new China IV
standards from the beginning of next month, said Du
Shaozhong, deputy director of the Beijing
Environment Protection Bureau.
Furthermore, from July 1, 2008, all the heavy
vehicles used for public transportation, sanitation,
and mail services should also be in line with the
standards. Heavy vehicles for other usages will
still enjoy a leniency period of the old China III
standards.
It
is expected the new standards will reduce the amount
of inhalant particulate matter, which takes up 90
percent of the pollutants in Beijing's air, by 330
tons in 2008, according to Du.
