★生态环境部:从全周期入手推进机动车排放源头管理

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has introduced new measures to optimize motor vehicle environmental regulation, focusing on precise pollution control, scientific management, and legal governance to improve air quality by managing vehicle emissions effectively [1][2]. Group 1: Motor Vehicle Emission Management - The Ministry emphasizes that motor vehicle exhaust is a major source of air pollution, contributing over 40% to PM2.5 levels in major cities, making compliance with emission standards crucial for air quality improvement [1]. - The new guidelines aim to strengthen supervision of heavy-duty trucks and inspection/maintenance institutions, targeting excessive emissions and fraudulent practices [2]. - The focus will be on the entire lifecycle of vehicles, from new vehicle standards to the recall of problematic vehicles and the scrapping of old ones, utilizing advanced technologies like AI and blockchain for effective monitoring [3]. Group 2: Standard System Construction - The current ecological and environmental standard system in China is outdated, with some standards being insufficient and local standards needing improvement [3]. - The Ministry plans to accelerate the upgrade of ecological quality standards and pollutant discharge standards, as well as establish a robust standard system for ecological protection [3]. - A comprehensive review of 180 pollutant discharge standards has been conducted, with plans to revise 90 of them, and several key standards have already been published or are in progress [4].
