Wuhai becomes a national green transportation city
Wuhai, Inner Mongolia autonomous region was listed in the third group of "National Green Transportation Cities", as the first such city in the region.
The idea of low-carbon and environmental-friendly transportation is running through the city, as it strives to speed up the construction of transportation infrastructure.
The city is working towards a green and low-carbon future. Beginning in 2010, the city has equipped 235 clean-energy vehicles with a total investment of over 100 million yuan ($16.13 million). Most of the city's taxies and many privately-owned vehicles run on natural gas instead of gasoline.
As a national green transportation city, Wuhai will receive national subsidies to support its energy saving and emission reduction projects until 2017.
