New standards for gasoline and diesel
Print Edition
CHINA is to adopt new standards for gasoline and diesel from next year in a bid to cut emissions.
From January, both fuels must comply with the National V standard, equivalent to the Euro V standard, regulators said yesterday.
Sales of substandard fuel will be halted, according to the National Development and Reform Commission’s website.
China’s major cities have already adopted the National V standard, but it is not mandatory in most inland regions. Regulators hope a national standard will lead to improvements in air quality.
Winter smog is common in northern China and vehicle emissions are a major source of the pollution.
