What is the Chinese equivalent of Euro VI for vehicles?
1 Answers
Euro VI for vehicles is equivalent to the China VI-A (National VI-A) standard, but it is lower than the China VI-B (National VI-B) standard. Here is an introduction to vehicle emission standards: 1. Concept: Vehicle emission standards refer to regulations on the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). 2. Emission Standards: Currently, there are two main vehicle emission standards: the European standard and the Chinese national standard. The European standard is implemented through the emission regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) and the emission directives of the European Economic Community (EEC). The Chinese national standard is formulated based on China's specific conditions and is implemented in three phases. 3. Current Implementation Status: The China 6 emission standard is implemented in two phases. In the first phase, starting from July 1, 2020, all vehicles sold and registered must comply with the China VI-A standard. In the second phase, starting from July 1, 2023, all vehicles sold and registered must comply with the China VI-B standard.
