China To Ban Petrol/diesel Cars by Celsony: 10:55pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
China looks at plans to ban petrol and diesel
cars
China, the world's biggest car market, plans
to ban the production and sale of diesel and
petrol cars and vans.
The country's vice minister of industry said it had
started "relevant research" but that it had not yet
decided when the ban would come into force.
"Those measures will certainly bring profound
changes for our car industry's development," Xin
Guobin told Xinhua, China's official news agency
China made 28 million cars last year, almost a third
of the global total.
Both the UK and France have already announced
plans to ban new diesel and petrol vehicles by
2040, as part of efforts to reduce pollution and
carbon emissions.
Chinese-owned carmaker Volvo said in July
that all its new car models would have an electric
motor from 2019.
Geely, Volvo's Chinese owner, aims to sell one
million electric cars by 2025.
Other global car firms including Renault-Nissan,
Ford and General Motors are all working to
develop electric cars in China.
Automakers are jostling for a slice of the growing
Chinese market ahead of the introduction of new
rules designed to fight pollution.
China wants electric battery cars and plug-in
hybrids to account for at least one-fifth of its
vehicle sales by 2025.
The proposals would require 8% of automakers'
sales to be battery electric or plug-in hybrids by
next year, rising to 12% in 2020.
Xin predicted the change would create "turbulent
times" in the industry.
The shift will also have a knock-on effect on oil
demand in China. The country is currently the
world's second-largest oil consumer after the US. |

We need to diversify our economy ASAP because when the electric cars are manufacture demand for oil will drop |
