What is the China VI Emission Standard for Vehicles?
1 Answers
The "China VI" standard is an upgrade from the "China V" standard, requiring that emissions of carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, non-methane hydrocarbons, and other pollutants must be reduced by more than 50% compared to the previous standard. Below are the relevant details: 1. According to the plan, the "China VI" standard will be implemented in two phases: 6A and 6B. 2. The first phase, starting from July 1, 2020, prohibits the sale, registration, and licensing of vehicles that do not meet the China 6A emission standard. 3. The second phase, starting from July 1, 2023, prohibits the sale, registration, and licensing of vehicles that do not meet the China 6B emission standard. However, the above timelines represent the national implementation plan, and some regions have already decided to enforce this standard ahead of schedule. Each change in emission policies profoundly impacts the automotive market landscape and consumer decisions.
