Reuters reported that Chinese capital Beijing aims to cut toxic emissions from the transport sector by 30 percent by 2020 compared to the 2017 levels, by promoting more clean-energy vehicles and burning cleaner fuels. Municipal government said that it also aims to increase ownership of new energy vehicles to around 400,000 by 2020, without giving a comparison.

Vehicles for postal services, deliveries and street cleaning will all be converted to electric by 2020.

The city also aims to eliminate more than 1,000 polluting factories by 2020.
