Wang Binggang, a senior researcher at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, recently stated in Shanghai that China will implement a new standard for vehicle exhaust emissions that is equivalent to Euro II standards and will prepare for the implementation of a vehicle emission standard equivalent to Euro III. Wang Binggang revealed this information at the "2004 China Clean Automotive Technology Development and Application Forum." The Euro III standard is a vehicle exhaust emission standard set by the European Union Organization. The implementation time is from 2000 to 2005. According to this standard, the limits for hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates in commercial vehicle exhausts are 0.66%, 2.1%, 5%, and 0.1%, respectively. China started to implement the Euro I emission standard in 1999. In the same year, it stopped the production and use of leaded gasoline, and no longer produced carburetor cars. In the next two years, China will begin to implement the Euro II emission standard. Beijing and Shanghai, which successfully bid for the Olympic Games and the World Expo, will implement this standard in advance. It is reported that at present, most of the newly-produced cars in China have reached the Euro II emission standard in advance, and preparations for the production of cars that meet the Euro III standard are also underway. At the same time, the relevant state departments are establishing an emission monitoring system for implementing in-use vehicles. Wang Binggang said that even if oil supply is in short supply, fuel will continue to be the main form of fuel for Chinese cars for a long time to come. Raising fuel quality to meet the need to implement the Euro III automobile emission standards has become an urgent task for China. Wang Binggang revealed that China will also gradually promote the use of LPG as an alternative fuel, and encourage auto companies to develop LPG vehicles that meet Euro II and Euro III emission levels to meet increasingly strict environmental protection requirements.
