Scope of Application: According to the "Announcement on the Implementation of the National Phase II Motor Vehicle Emission Standards" issued by the Environmental Protection Administration, starting from September 1, 2003, all heavy-duty vehicles undergoing type approval must meet the National Phase II Type Approval Emission Limits, equivalent to the Euro 2 standards. This marks a new stage in China's motor vehicle emission pollution control. From July 1, 2004, all newly approved light-duty vehicles must comply with the National II standards, and the application and approval of light-duty vehicle models meeting the National I standards, equivalent to Euro 1 standards, were discontinued. 2.
