What is the emission standard for cars purchased in 2006?

[MacHarrison]

Cars purchased in 2006 comply with the China II emission standard. Here are the relevant details: 1. China's Phase II vehicle emission standard is equivalent to the Euro II emission standard, meaning the pollutant content in exhaust gases matches Euro II levels. According to the 'Announcement on Implementing the National Phase II Motor Vehicle Emission Standards' issued by the State 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 II standards. This marked a new stage in China's motor vehicle emission pollution control. From July 1, 2004, all newly designed light-duty vehicles had to comply with the China II standard, and the application and approval for light-duty vehicle models meeting the China I standard (equivalent to Euro I) were discontinued. 2. According to Announcement No. 5 of 2006 by the State Environmental Protection Administration, 'Announcement on Publishing New Motor Vehicle Models and Engine Types Meeting National Phase II and Phase III Motor Vehicle Emission Limits', the China III standard mainly applies to light-duty gasoline and diesel vehicles under 3.5 tons, equivalent to the Euro III standard, with a nationwide implementation date of July 1, 2007. The China III standard represents a significant improvement, particularly emphasizing the -7°C emission standard for motor vehicles, which is unique internationally. Another key feature is the zero-start standard for motor vehicles, incorporating OBD (On-Board Diagnostics). Throughout the vehicle's usage, if emission-related issues arise, the vehicle will automatically alert the owner, who should then visit a service station for repairs to resolve the issue.
