BEIJING, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- Southwest China’s Guizhou province vows to promote the use of 10,000 methanol-fueled vehicles in 2019, including 7,000 such vehicles in the capital city of Guiyang and 3,000 units in the rest parts of the province, according to a local newspaper.
The task was put forward at a special meeting on the promotion and application of methanol vehicles lately held by the provincial government.
The province plans to complete construction of some methanol refueling stations in the first half of 2019, while at the same time build a batch of refilling stations that integrate gasoline, diesel, M100 methanol and charging piles, according to the meeting.
Guizhou was listed as one of the provinces for methanol vehicle pilot programs by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China in 2015, and took the lead in carrying out three-year pilot programs in Guiyang. It now tops Chinese provinces with the largest scale of methanol vehicle promotion and application. (Edited by Su Dan, Niu Huizhe)
