iCET is committed to promoting green (environmentally-friendly) vehicles here in China. Green vehicles are vehicles which emit as little pollutants as possible, including health-damaging pollutants, greenhouse gases, and noise. A perfectly "green" car would emit no pollutants during its entire life cycle, including production, operation, and recycling.
