China will slash its new car registration quota by 37.5% starting from next year to further restrict car sales as part of its efforts to curb pollution which has reached dangerous levels.
According to an interpretation of a five-year vehicle emission reduction plan (2013-2017) announced by the city government, the number of newly registered cars will be cut from current 2.40 lakh each year to 1.50 lakh by 2017.
