Do all China VI vehicles have particulate filters?
1 Answers
China VI vehicles all have particulate filters. The China VI standard is essentially a more stringent requirement based on the China V standard. It not only imposes strict limits on the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides but also sets specific requirements for the number of particulate emissions. Therefore, upgrading from China V to China VI is not just about catalytic reduction of exhaust gases; it also requires the installation of a device called a particulate filter to reduce particulate emissions. Below are the requirements of the China VI emission standard: The China VI standard is extremely high and is among the strictest vehicle emission standards in the world. Compared to the China V emission regulations, China VI adds limits for nitrous oxide and particulate matter particle count. Additionally, during cold start conditions, carbon monoxide content must be reduced by 50%, hydrocarbon content by 30%, and carbon monoxide content by 30%. After the implementation of the China VI standard, China V vehicles can still be driven on the road: Even after the China VI standard is implemented, China V vehicles can still be driven, though registration and licensing may become more difficult. For those China V vehicles in inventory, they will certainly be sold at discounted prices, and the closer the implementation date of China VI gets, the cheaper they will become.
