Beijing, December 31 (Xinhua) — Three mandatory national standards limiting fuel consumption for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles will take effect in China on January 1, 2026, the State Administration for Market Regulation announced.
The new rules set stricter energy efficiency targets for vehicles for the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030).
Fuel consumption standards for conventional and hybrid passenger cars have been reduced by approximately 18 percent compared to the previous version. For example, for models with automatic transmissions and weighing approximately 1.5 tons, the new standard requires fuel consumption to not exceed 7.74 liters per 100 km.
To achieve international best-in-class performance, the average fuel consumption target for corporate passenger cars by 2030 has been reduced by approximately 48 percent and set at 3.3 liters per 100 km. Notably, the calculations will include the energy consumption of fully electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.
For light commercial vehicles, the fuel consumption limit has been reduced by 10 percent overall. For example, for a gasoline-powered truck weighing approximately 2 tons, the new standard requires fuel consumption to not exceed 9.13 liters per 100 km.
For the first time, the standards set average fuel consumption targets for corporate light commercial vehicles. For example, for gasoline-powered trucks, the 2030 target is an average of 5.7 liters per 100 km, which is in line with the best international standards.
These measures are expected to encourage businesses to continually upgrade and improve energy-saving technologies in vehicles, allowing consumers to buy more fuel-efficient vehicles and promoting low-carbon, eco-friendly travel.
