What Emission Standard Does 2008 Fall Under?

[DeParker]

2008 falls under the National IV emission standard, but the specific details depend on the vehicle model. Currently, China is implementing the National V standard, and the National VI standard has already been rolled out in a few cities. The National VI standard is divided into two phases, with varying implementation timelines based on different circumstances, but it is expected to be fully implemented by 2023. Automotive emission standards regulate the levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC plus NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). China's emission standards currently include National I, National II, National III, National IV, National V, and National VI. As of 2018, the National V emission standard was implemented for light-duty gasoline vehicles nationwide.
