In which year did the China IV emission standard engines begin?
1 Answers
China IV emission standard engines were introduced in 2011. The main pollutants from vehicle emissions include HC, NOx, CO, PM, etc. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, these pollutants are controlled and reduced to levels below specified standards. The update of emission standards is driven by the increasing number of vehicles on the road, which emit harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The emission standards set limits on the discharge of these gases. China's emission standards are primarily based on EU standards, with some adaptive modifications made to suit local conditions.
