Can Private Diesel Vehicles Enter Beijing?
1 Answers
Diesel vehicles face restrictions when entering Beijing, with international ones permitted to enter the capital. New heavy-duty diesel vehicles must fully comply with the National Phase V emission standards; non-compliant vehicles are prohibited from being sold or registered in Beijing. The Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau leads the research on the local standard limits for Phase VI vehicle fuel and conducts fuel-vehicle compatibility experiments. Relevant information on vehicle emission standards is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle emission standards regulate the content of harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulates, soot) emitted from vehicle exhaust. 2. Implementation Status: Starting from January 1, 2004, Beijing upgraded its vehicle emission standards from Euro I to Euro II, and by 2008, officially implemented the Euro III standard.
