What is China VI in automotive standards?
1 Answers
China VI in automotive standards refers to China 6. The China 6 emission standard imposes more stringent requirements compared to the China 5 emission standard, with stricter limits on pollutant emissions. The implementation of the China 6 emission standard will be carried out in two phases. Starting from July 1, 2020, all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must comply with the China 6a limit requirements. The second phase will begin on July 1, 2023, when all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must meet the China 6b limit requirements. Automotive emissions refer to harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC plus NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulates, soot) released from exhaust gases, all of which are produced during the engine's combustion process.
