hina 4971 Yuchai International Limited has announced that its main operating subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company, has introduced China's first prototype diesel engine compliant with Euro VI emission standards. At a press conference hosted by GYMC at its offices in Yulin City, Guangxi Province, the National Passenger Car Quality Supervision and Inspection Centre (Tianjin Automotive Test Centre) released the test results of the YC6L-60 engine which was jointly developed over a four-year period, between GYMCL and researchers from 4972 Tianjin University's National Key Laboratory of engine combustion. The results indicate that the nitrogen oxide emissions and particulate matter emissions of the YC6L-60 were well below the Euro VI emission requirements.

Since its introduction in the 1816 European Union in 2009, the Euro VI emission standard is, by far, the most stringent emission standard in the world. As the EU has announced plans to implement the Euro VI emission standards beginning in 2013, most European engine producers have been actively developing their products accordingly. GYMC says that the introduction of China's first Euro VI-compliant diesel demonstrates its world-class research and development capabilities.

Towards the end of last year, the European Bureau of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) released a statement which criticised the European Commission's (EC's) approach to urban traffic congestion following the adoption of the Action Plan on Urban Mobility. In particular, the FIA voiced concerns over what it
