How to Confirm if a Vehicle Meets China VI Emission Standards?
3 Answers
The China VI emission standard is marked with the Roman numeral "VI". When purchasing a new car, the salesperson will provide a vehicle acceptance form, which includes details such as the model, color, emission standard, engine number, and chassis number. For used cars, you can check the vehicle's full model number on the environmental protection website. Below is some relevant information: 1. Emission Standards: As global environmental pollution becomes increasingly severe, countries worldwide are implementing stricter emission standards, which greatly benefits the protection of the Earth's environment. 2. Exhaust Treatment: Under stringent emission standards, automakers actively develop new technologies to reduce engine exhaust emissions.
Last time I helped my cousin look for a used car, teaching him how to check for China 6 emission standards was super easy. Just open the glove compartment to find the Vehicle Conformity Certificate, and the 'Emission Stage' section in the middle clearly states 'China 6'. The third page of the green vehicle registration book also records the emission standard. I also taught him to check the 'Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website' on his phone—just enter the VIN to pull up the officially registered emission info. Remember, cars produced from 2019 onwards started having China 6 standards, so it never hurts to be extra careful when buying a car.
We've handled numerous vehicle transfers at our DMV. The most reliable method is to check the environmental information sheet that comes with the vehicle - that blue A4 paper clearly states whether it's China 6b or China 6a. For new cars, look for the yellow environmental label in the top right corner of the windshield - a letter 'G' at the beginning indicates China 6 standard. The vehicle registration certificate also shows this information at the end of the 'Displacement' line in the second section. Some imported vehicles from 2017 actually met China 6 standards in the first batch, while domestically produced vehicles generally didn't become widespread until after July 2019.
