What is the current emission standard for passenger cars?

[Emilio]

Currently, the emission standard for passenger cars is China VI. The fuel standards and vehicle emission standards for China VI have become more stringent, including stricter limits on sulfur, oxygen, methanol, and benzene content. Methods to check if a car meets China VI standards: Check the motor vehicle conformity certificate; refer to the vehicle's accompanying list; review the conformity certificate; query on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection website; inspect the vehicle's environmental protection label. Implementation timeline of China VI standards: The China VI standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on December 23, 2016, and June 22, 2018, respectively. The "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)" came into effect on July 1, 2019. The implementation of China VI standards imposes stricter requirements on emissions such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons.
