Does China VI Standard Affect New Car Purchases?

[FelicityRose]

The implementation of China VI standard has certain impacts on car purchases, whether buying new or used vehicles. The most direct effect for consumers is that China V models will experience some degree of depreciation and price reduction. Purchasing a China V vehicle could be an option if substantial price discounts are available. For locally purchased used cars within the same city, successful transfer of ownership only requires passing the annual inspection. Relevant information about automotive emission standards is as follows: 1. Introduction: Automotive emission standards regulate the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). 2.
