What is the emission standard for 2007 vehicles?
2 Answers
Most vehicles from 2007 comply with the China IV emission standard. Methods to check vehicle emission standards: 1. The simplest and most direct way is to look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back. 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Bring the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the vehicle management office for inquiry. Here is an explanation of the China IV standard: China IV is a vehicle exhaust emission standard, referring to the national fourth-stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), and PM (particulate matter). By applying technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, the standard controls and reduces vehicle emissions to below specified levels.
I used to drive a 2007 vintage car myself, when emission standards were quite volatile. It depends on your car's exact production month - if manufactured in the first half of the year, it likely meets China II standards, while second-half production generally complies with China III. This division exists because July 2007 marked the emission standard upgrade transition. You can verify this by checking the environmental protection label on your vehicle's green registration certificate or license plate annex. Nowadays, such older vehicles face urban driving restrictions, with some major cities banning China II and below from downtown areas. If considering a used car purchase, always confirm the emission classification to avoid being trapped by traffic restriction policies.
