China to stop the productions of diesel and petrol vehicles as Volvo plans to lunch electrical driven cars 2019
China, the world’s biggest car market, plans to ban the production and sale of diesel and petrol vehicles.
This development is sequel to the announcement of UK and France plans to ban new diesel and petrol vehicles by 2040, as part of efforts to reduce pollution and carbon emissions.
The country’s vice minister of industry, according to BBC report, said it had started “relevant research” but that it had not yet decided when the ban would come into force.
He said “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.
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.
