1 Answers
Used cars meeting China IV emission standards cannot be licensed. Since July 1, 2011, passenger vehicles sold domestically have been required to fully comply with the fourth-stage emission limits, and models that do not meet the emission standards are no longer sold or registered. Below is relevant information about automotive emission standards: 1. Emission Standards: Emission standards are categorized as: China I, China II, China III, China IV, China V, and China VI. As of December 31, 2018, the China 5 emission standard was implemented for light-duty gasoline vehicles nationwide. 2. The China 6 emission standard is being implemented in two phases: The first phase, starting from July 1, 2020, requires all sold and registered vehicles to comply with the China 6A standard; the second phase, starting from July 1, 2023, requires all sold and registered vehicles to comply with the China 6B standard. Some cities may advance the implementation of the China 6 emission standard for light-duty vehicles to January 1, 2019.
