The biggest difference between National 5 and National 6 vehicles lies in their exhaust emissions. The National 5 standard sets the carbon monoxide limit at 1000mg/km, while the National 6a standard reduces it to 700mg/km, and the National 6b standard cuts it in half to just 500mg/km. Limits for other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter have also been significantly reduced. Specific details are as follows: 1. The difference in catalytic converters: The National 6 emission standard reduces particulate matter by 67% and nitrogen oxides by 77% compared to National 5, which can be simply understood as "the difference of one catalytic converter." 2. National 6a and National 6b: The National 6 standard is known as the strictest emission standard to date, implemented in phases with two emission limit schemes—National 6a and National 6b—rolled out in 2020 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, key regions with special requirements for atmospheric environmental management can implement the National 6 emission limits ahead of schedule.

What does variable speed detection on highways mean?

Variable speed detection on highways involves six operational processes: meteorological monitoring and alerting, travel control activation, public announcement reminders, evidence collection and synthesis, data review and entry, and violation notification and penalties. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: Speed detection determines whether a vehicle is speeding by calculating its average speed. Specifically, it refers to two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. When a vehicle passes these two points, its speed is recorded, and the system calculates the average speed to determine if the vehicle is speeding. 2. Function: It enables automatic monitoring and warning of meteorological information, dual evidence collection for violating vehicles, and automated comparison of violation data.
