SHANGHAI, Nov 21 (SMM) – The southern Chinese city of Shenzhen on November 19 issued a revised guideline for the management of taxi services, requiring all new vehicles registered for online ride-hailing services to be fully electric from December 1.

The guideline also aimed to improve safety management in the taxi industry.
