What is the Chinese equivalent of Euro 4 emission standards?
1 Answers
Euro 4 emission standards are equivalent to China's National IV emission standards, but Euro 4 is more stringent than National IV. Starting from July 1, 2019, China began implementing the National VI emission standards, which are the strictest emission standards in history. The implementation of stringent emission regulations aims to regulate automakers rather than consumers. Additional information: Only by enforcing strict emission standards can automakers develop engines with lower exhaust emissions. Implementing strict emission regulations also benefits the protection of the global environment. As global environmental pollution issues become increasingly severe, countries worldwide are introducing stricter emission regulations. Many automakers are actively developing pure electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Unlike conventional hybrid vehicles, PHEVs can charge their power batteries using external power sources, whereas conventional hybrids cannot. PHEVs offer longer electric-only driving ranges, better fuel economy, and lower exhaust emissions. Pure electric vehicles represent the future trend of automotive development, offering numerous advantages over internal combustion engine vehicles. EVs are powered by electric motors, resulting in zero tailpipe emissions. Electric motors operate without excessive vibrations or noise, providing a quieter cabin environment during driving.
