Starting next month, only all-electric vehicles will be allowed to be added to ride-hailing fleets in Shenzhen.
The Chinese mega-city currently has about 58,000 registered ride-hailing vehicles. Ten companies have already launched services in the city, and another seven have been approved for operation.
