What is the emission standard for Vehicle VI?
2 Answers
Vehicle VI refers to the China VI emission standard, which is the sixth stage national standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions. Below are the specific regulations of the China VI standard: 1. Carbon Monoxide: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. 2. Non-Methane Hydrocarbons: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. 3. Nitrogen Oxides: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. 4. Particulate Matter: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5mg of PM (fine particulate matter) per kilometer driven.
I enjoy studying vehicles in my spare time, and recently many friends have asked about the emission standard of the VL series trucks. Based on my experience, VL generally refers to Dongfeng truck series, such as VL cargo trucks or VL engineering vehicles, which typically meet the China V emission standard. Emission standards are crucial as they affect whether the vehicle can pass annual inspections and are related to urban driving restrictions in certain cities. To confirm the specific model's standard, you need to check the environmental protection label on the vehicle registration certificate or scan the VIN code to access official records. The China V standard is not the latest anymore, as new vehicles now comply with the more environmentally friendly China VI standard. As an ordinary car owner, I recommend regular exhaust emission tests and not neglecting exhaust pipe maintenance, since health is paramount. For those driving VL series trucks, while they offer strong power, their emissions are slightly higher. Maintaining smooth throttle control during driving can help reduce pollution.
