Beijing Should Ban New Conventional Car Sales by 2030, Think Tank Says

Beijing should steer Chinese cities toward clean air by banning the sale of new fossil fuel-powered vehicles by 2030, a think tank has said.

The capital could galvanize the rest of China’s megacities by becoming the first to ban the sale of new fossil fuel-run buses, shipping vehicles and taxis in the coming years. It should then ban the sale of new conventionally powered private cars by 2030, the Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation said in a report released this week.
