Starting this August tougher fuel-efficiency ratings will be imposed on vehicles in Korea as part of efforts to regulate the fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The system that the Korea Energy Management Corp. unveiled Monday grades a vehicle's fuel efficiency on a scale of one to five, five being the highest, to provide car buyers with more information on gas consumption and emissions.
The corporation said a minivan that runs 15 kilometers on a liter of diesel fuel or LPG will be given the lowest grade of one, thus ending the contradictory notion that larger vehicles boast higher fuel efficiency.
