Carburetor-Equipped Autos to Be Banned in China
Four Chinese ministries jointly issued a circular to ban the production and sales of 187 models of carburetor-equipped cars and mini-vans in a bid to control emissions.
The 187 models fail to meet the national emission standard, which is in accordance with the Europe 1 emission standard, said Friday's China Daily.
Production of the carburetor-equipped cars and mini-vans must stop and newly-produced vehicles must abide by national emission standards, according to the circular, which was released by the State Environmental Protection Administration, the State Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.
The ban on the sales of these vehicles will start on September 1 and they will no longer be given registration, the circular said.
