Vehicle users increase emission checkup

Major users of motor vehicles in Beijing have promised to intensify inspections to reduce emissions of pollutants during the 2014 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Beijing.

As part of efforts by the Beijing municipal government to control pollution for better air quality during the APEC meeting from Wednesday through Nov 11, the city's environment protection bureau signed agreements with 34 major users of public vehicles ahead of the event.

According to the agreements, they must inspect each vehicle every day it runs during the week to ensure all emissions meet the national standard, the bureau said.
