What is the earliest year of production for China IV vehicles?
1 Answers
China IV vehicles were produced after 2011, with some models manufactured as early as 2010 or even earlier. The implementation of the China IV standard varied by region, with some areas adopting it earlier than others. In regions where the standard was implemented earlier, China IV-compliant vehicles were produced sooner. It wasn't until July 1, 2011, that the China IV standard was uniformly enforced nationwide. Relevant information about automotive emission standards is as follows: Introduction: Automotive emission standards regulate the permissible levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). Implementation Status: Starting from January 1, 2004, Beijing upgraded its vehicle emission standards from Euro I to Euro II. By 2008, the city officially implemented the Euro III standard.
