 Beijing plans Olympic clean-up.
2002-08-05
China’s capital city Beijing will implement a series of green measures in the run-up to the 2008 Olympic games. The event affords host cities mass global media exposure, and Beijing is keen to shed its industrial and polluted image. The main focus of the efforts will be an attempt to reduce emissions from vehicles. Euro II output standards will be implemented in all new cars, whilst fuel producers will introduce a low-particulate petrol early next year. Emissions from local factories are also set to addressed and revised within the next year. During the games, electric vehicles will be used for official transportation between venues.
