What is a China VI Standard Vehicle?
2 Answers
China VI standard vehicles refer to vehicles that comply with the national sixth-stage motor vehicle emission standards. The China VI standard includes emission limits and measurement methods for light-duty vehicle pollutants, as well as emission limits and measurement methods for heavy-duty diesel vehicle pollutants. Its purpose is to prevent pollution of the environment by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The China VI standard reduces carbon monoxide emissions from gasoline vehicles by 50%, total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emission limits by 42%.
After purchasing a China VI standard car, I learned that it complies with the National Phase 6 Emission Standards, primarily aimed at reducing exhaust pollution, such as lowering harmful substances like PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides. China VI is divided into Phase a and Phase b, and most new cars now meet these standards, offering quicker power response and more fuel-efficient performance. Switching from my old car, I save about 80-100 yuan per month on fuel, the engine noise is significantly reduced, and the air conditioning is smarter. Experts recommended prioritizing China VI when choosing a car because it meets environmental regulations and avoids policy restrictions, such as potential future driving bans for China V vehicles. Over time, the air feels noticeably fresher, especially in city traffic where black smoke emissions are eliminated, which is better for health.
