How to Check the Emission Standard of a Motor Truck?
2 Answers
Methods to check the emission standard of a motor truck: 1. Check the certificate of conformity (registration certificate), which records the emission standard; 2. Take the vehicle license to the vehicle management office and ask the staff for a query; 3. Differentiate by the engine: a large pump without turbocharging is China I emission standard, a large pump with turbocharging is China II emission standard, electronic fuel injection with turbocharging is China III emission standard, and electronic fuel injection with turbocharging plus an exhaust gas treatment system is China IV emission standard; 4. Check the nameplate on the vehicle. Currently, some regions in China have implemented the China VI standard. According to national requirements, China VI is divided into two phases, a and b. Starting from July 1, 2020, all light vehicles sold and registered must meet the China VI a requirements; starting from July 1, 2023, all light vehicles sold and registered must meet the China VI b limit requirements.
There are several ways to find out the emission standard of your truck. The easiest method is to check the environmental label on the upper right corner of the windshield, which will clearly indicate standards like China IV or China V. If the sticker is missing, you can refer to the vehicle registration certificate (the green-covered booklet) – the 'Registration Summary' section will directly state the emission standard. Alternatively, the metal nameplate on the door frame contains the vehicle model and engine model numbers; you can search these codes online, and many forums can provide the corresponding emission standard. If you're still unsure, you can visit the vehicle management office with your driving license to check their records. Since emission standards affect annual inspections and urban access policies for trucks, it's important to verify them accurately.
