What is the emission standard for a 2004 car?
1 Answers
2004 cars comply with China II emission standard. Below is relevant information about China II: 1. Application scope: According to the "Announcement on Implementing the National Phase II Vehicle Emission Standards" issued by the Environmental Protection Administration, starting from September 1, 2003, all newly designed heavy-duty vehicles must meet the National Phase II Type Approval Emission Limits equivalent to Euro 2 standards. This marked a new stage in China's motor vehicle emission pollution control. From July 1, 2004, all newly designed light-duty vehicles must comply with China II standards, and the application and approval of light-duty vehicle models meeting China I standards (equivalent to Euro 1 standards) were discontinued. 2. Significance: Compared with the National Phase I Emission Standard (referred to as China I standard), the "China II standard" reduces single-vehicle pollutant emissions by 30.4% for carbon monoxide and 55.8% for hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
