Great Wall to launch new SUVs

Great Wall Motor, China's biggest SUV and pickup producer by sales volume, is set to release SUVs that meet the tougher China VI emission standard, the company said.

The stricter standard, formulated in 2016, will be adopted in Hebei province - where the company is headquartered - in July, 2019, according to the Hebei Provincial Environmental Protection Department.

"The company started conducting research earlier this year on upgrading the powertrain system to meet the new standard," said Yuan Zhancheng, deputy general manager of Great Wall Motor's domestic market.
