What is the impact of China VI on parallel imported vehicles?
1 Answers
It is understood that China VI is divided into China VI A and China VI B, with China VI B being much stricter than China VI A. However, when we talk about parallel imported vehicles, these two emission standards do not affect us because, in the field of parallel imported vehicles, it is said that vehicles that meet the China VI standard directly comply with China VI B, while those that do not meet the standard cannot even reach the threshold of China VI A. As we all know, parallel imported vehicles are divided into five major versions: the US version, Canadian version, Mexican version, Middle East version, and European version. Parallel imported vehicles are distinguished based on these versions to determine whether their emission standards comply with China VI. Under the current circumstances, the Canadian and US versions comply with China VI emission standards because the emission standards in Canada and the US are stricter than the requirements of China VI. As for the other three versions, although the European version has implemented Euro VI, the regulations of Euro VI do not meet the requirements of China VI, and the remaining Mexican version and Middle East version also do not comply with China VI requirements. At the same time, there are still many uncertainties regarding the China VI emission policy, such as whether vehicles produced after July 1st must comply with China VI emissions to be registered? Will newly imported vehicles undergo environmental testing, and how will those that meet China VI emission standards be handled? With the implementation of China VI emissions, purchasing a car now may offer certain discounts to some extent, but it may not be the best time to buy at the lowest price because, for parallel imported models that meet "China V," there is still a one-year sales period in some domestic regions, so car dealers are not in a hurry to sell them off.
