What is the Chinese equivalent of Euro 5?
1 Answers
Euro 5 emission standards are roughly equivalent to China's National IV emission standards. Below is an introduction to European standards: 1. European standards are implemented through the emission regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) and the emission directives of the European Economic Community (EEC), which is now the European Union (EU). The ECE emission regulations are voluntarily recognized by participating countries, while the EEC or EU emission directives are mandatory for participating countries. 2. The European regulations (directives) for vehicle emissions had already gone through several phases before 1992. Europe began implementing Euro I (Euro I type-approval emission limits) in 1992, Euro II (Euro II type-approval and production conformity emission limits) in 1996, Euro III (Euro III type-approval and production conformity emission limits) in 2000, and Euro IV (Euro IV type-approval and production conformity emission limits) in 2005.
