Updated Chinese Standard on the Fuel Consumption Limits for Heavy Duty Vehicles Published

The Chinese government have recently published an updated version of the Chinese Standard on the maximum permissible fuel consumption limits for heavy duty vehicles, GB 30510-2024, which specifies fuel consumption limits for all types of heavy duty vehicle that are around 10% lower than the limits specified in the previous version of this Standard. In addition to these reduced fuel consumption limits, the updated standard also introduces criteria to define the variations in vehicle specification that are permitted within a vehicle type and a formula for converting fuel consumption values, in L/100km, into CO2 emissions values, in g/km.
