What is the emission standard for a 2013 car?
1 Answers
Cars from 2013 are mostly compliant with the National III emission standard, with some models meeting the National IV standard. Below is an introduction to vehicle emission standards: 1. The National III emission standard refers to the third phase of national emission standards. Currently, China has implemented the National VI standard. Cars meeting the National III standard will be subject to mandatory scrapping after the National VI standard is enforced, with the exact timing depending on the implementation schedule of different regions. 2. A car's emission standard can be checked in several ways. The simplest method is to look at the front windshield, where the emission standard is usually indicated behind the environmental label. Alternatively, the vehicle's emission standard can be found in the vehicle certification document, which typically includes this information. 3. Additionally, the emission standard can be roughly estimated based on the vehicle's registration year. Cars registered before 2007 mostly meet the National I standard, those registered after 2008 mostly comply with National III or IV standards, and cars registered in 2014 generally meet the National V standard. China has now entered the National VI emission standard phase, with the National VI standard officially implemented in 2020. The first phase, National VIa, started on July 1, 2020, and the second phase, National VIb, will begin on July 1, 2023.
