How Long Can China III Standard Gasoline Vehicles Still Be Driven?

[LeFelicity]

Currently, there is no clear timeline for the phase-out of China III gasoline vehicles, as the national government has not yet issued any mandatory regulations for their retirement. The decision depends on national policies and the actual conditions of each region. If there are no relevant local government policies, these vehicles can continue to be driven indefinitely. Below is an introduction to China III standard gasoline vehicles: 1. The so-called China III standard refers to China's third-stage vehicle emission standards. The national third-stage emission standard is equivalent to the European Euro III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is comparable to that of Euro III. 2. Compared with advanced foreign countries, China's vehicle emission regulations started later and were less stringent. Based on China's actual conditions, a step-by-step implementation plan was adopted starting in the early 1980s, progressing from easier to more challenging measures. To date, the implementation has mainly been divided into five stages: China I, China II, China III, China IV, and China V.
