What Are the Criteria for Identifying a Yellow Label Vehicle?

[StIsabelle]

There are four methods to determine whether a vehicle is a yellow label vehicle: judging by age; assessing by vehicle exhaust emissions; checking on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network; or verifying with the municipal environmental protection department. Judging by age is the simplest way to identify a yellow label vehicle. Generally, domestically produced vehicles manufactured before 1996 and imported vehicles manufactured before 1998 are classified as yellow label vehicles. The specific breakdown is as follows: Passenger cars and mini trucks with gasoline or gas fuel types registered before July 1, 2000; Light trucks with gasoline or gas fuel types registered before October 1, 2001; Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and medium and large passenger cars with gasoline fuel types registered before July 1, 2003; Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and medium and large passenger cars with gas fuel types registered before September 1, 2001; Passenger cars with diesel fuel types registered before July 1, 2008; Mini and light trucks with diesel fuel types registered before July 1, 2009; Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and medium and large passenger cars with diesel fuel types registered before July 1, 2008. Assessing by vehicle exhaust emissions means that vehicles with spark-ignition engines that do not meet National I or higher standards, and vehicles with compression-ignition engines that do not meet National III or higher standards, are classified as yellow label vehicles. To check whether a vehicle is a yellow label vehicle on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network, fill in the required information according to the system's instructions and follow the online prompts step by step. If the required vehicle model cannot be found in the query system, you can also visit the municipal environmental protection department for verification and confirmation.
