What is a Yellow Label Vehicle?
1 Answers
Yellow Label Vehicles are a general term for high-pollution emission vehicles, referring to gasoline vehicles that do not even meet the National I emission standards or diesel vehicles that fail to meet the National III emission standards. Generally, these vehicles have high emission volumes, high concentrations, and poor emission stability, with emissions equivalent to 5 to 10 times those of new vehicles. They are marked with a yellow environmental label, hence the name Yellow Label Vehicle. In terms of emission limits, the emissions of one Yellow Label Vehicle are equivalent to 5 National I vehicles, 7 National II vehicles, 14 National III vehicles, or more than 20 National IV gasoline vehicles. After passing regular environmental inspections and meeting the relevant in-use vehicle emission standards, these vehicles are issued a yellow environmental inspection compliance label and are allowed on the road. Due to their high single-vehicle emissions, Yellow Label Vehicles should be prioritized for control and phase-out. A yellow license plate does not equal a Yellow Label Vehicle. Yellow plates are used for large trucks; two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles; large buses; and vehicles used for agricultural purposes. Yellow labels for vehicle annual inspections and compulsory traffic insurance also exist, but vehicles with these yellow labels are not considered Yellow Label Vehicles.
