What is the China Emission Standard for Skoda Superb?

[KeiraMarie]

Skoda Superb complies with the China VI emission standard. Below are detailed introductions about the China VI standard: 1. The China VI standard refers to both the Euro 6c standard in terms of emission limits and the OBD and evaporative emission requirements of the North American EPA Tier 3 standard, hence it is also known as the "strictest standard in the world". 2. Due to the significant upgrade from the China V emission standard, the China VI standard is divided into two phases: China VIa and China VIb. In the China VIb phase, most indicators are 50% stricter than those of the China V standard. According to estimates, under the China VI standard, the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, non-methane total hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides from light-duty gasoline vehicles will be reduced by about 50% compared to the China V phase, and particulate matter emissions will be reduced by about 40%; for heavy-duty diesel vehicles, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter will be reduced by more than 60% compared to the China V phase. Considering that automobile exhaust accounts for 20%~40% of air pollution in first-tier cities, the implementation of the China VI standard can bring a significant improvement of more than 10% in urban air quality.
