Denmark has been a global leader in sustainability, and has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions by 70% by 2030. Its Geely Emgrand methanol sedan and Farizon M100 heavy truck have already been tested and passed the stringent “China VI” emissions standards. Both have their own advantages and together complement each other, Geely says.
