The ultra-low emission campaign on heavy industries in China

China’s ultra-low emission (ULE) campaign, led by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), aims to address air pollution by targeting high-emitting sectors, including steel, cement, and coking industries. Under the ULE, regulated industries are to transport 80% of goods by clean transport modes (e.g., railway, waterway, belt conveyor), and zero-emission or China VI trucks should be adopted to compensate for any gaps in implementing clean transport modes. These efforts are expected to drive increased demand for electric freight trucks and the ULE is expected to expand to other industries in the coming years.
