Chinese Government to buy more 'green' cars
Government agencies across the country will be required to purchase more “green” cars under a plan released yesterday that has been hailed as a big step forward in the fight against pollution and the promotion of the new-energy vehicle market.
Under the plan, drawn up by five central government ministries and departments, at least 30 per cent of all cars purchased for official use in the 2014-16 period must be new-energy. After 2016, the requirement will be increased year by year.
New-energy vehicles include electric, plug-in hybrids, fuel-cell and solar-powered models, according to the plan.
