China to go after dirty diesel trucks.

摘要

The Chinese transport and environment ministries are considering proposals that would replace a million heavy duty diesel trucks, almost 20% of the national fleet, with more modem trucks using a higher grade of diesel called National Five, and using electric trucks or ones that run on liquefied natural gas (LNG). The proposals would come into effect in 2020 and would cover the smoggiest northern regions of China, though it is unclear when a final decision will be made. The move is the latest attempt by the Chinese government to combat worsening pollution in the country.
