What is China 6 Vehicle?
2 Answers
China 6 vehicles refer to those compliant with the China 6 emission standards, officially known as the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. These standards were established to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to control vehicle pollutant emissions and improve ambient air quality. Under the China 6a emission standards, the carbon monoxide emission limit for gasoline and diesel vehicles is set at 0.5g per kilometer. China 6a essentially adopts the lower limits of the China 5 standards, while China 6b represents the true China 6 emission standards with significantly stricter control over nitrogen oxide emissions, showing a substantial reduction compared to previous standards. Additionally, it imposes limits on nitrogen dioxide emissions, which were not regulated during the China 5 phase.
I've been concerned about environmental protection for many years. China VI vehicles refer to models that comply with China's sixth-stage emission standards. The government introduced this standard in 2019 to control vehicle exhaust pollution. Previously, the China V emission standards weren't as strict. Now, China VI requires a significant reduction in nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions from vehicles—even stricter than EU standards—which can greatly improve urban air quality. I recommend choosing China VI-compliant vehicles when buying a car, as it not only helps reduce smog but also offers policy benefits like unrestricted access in traffic-restricted zones. In the long run, this is quite important for protecting our planet and the health of future generations, allowing us to drive without guilt.
