Representatives from the Bluetech delegation also demonstrated their technologies and answered questions from Shenzhen’s local organizations that are planning to conduct DPF retrofit work for their existing equipment. During the following day, the delegation conducted an on-site investigation on DPF retrofitted road pavers and bulldozers to study their operation statuses.
In addition, the CAAC held the Air Quality Management Workshops for Changzhou Environmental Protection Bureau & Changzhou Academy of Environmental Science, and Shenzhen Environmental Protection Bureau & Shenzhen Academy of Environmental Science respectively on 13th and 16th December, 2015. During the Changzhou’s workshop, CAAC and Changzhou Municipal Government jointly released the “Changzhou Air Quality Management Assessment Report 2015.” The Vice Mayor of Changzhou, Mr. Shi Zhijun attended the press release.
