What is the National Emission Standard for VI?
2 Answers
VI refers to National VI, where VI is the Roman numeral for six. Here are the specific details: 1. Stricter Standards: Compared to National V fuel, National VI fuel reduces particulate emissions by up to 10%, significantly lowering the pollutant content in vehicle exhaust. The National VI emission standard is 40%~50% stricter than the current National V standard, surpassing even the Euro VI standard and matching U.S. levels, making it one of the most stringent emission standards globally. 2. Different Implementation Times: The National VI standard was implemented in December 2014, while the National V standard came into effect in December 2017.
I've been driving for several years and pay special attention to emission standards when choosing a car, as traffic restrictions in big cities are becoming increasingly strict. China VI represents the country's sixth-phase emission requirements, which are much stricter than the previous China V, mainly controlling harmful substances in exhaust, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. These standards were implemented starting in 2019, significantly impacting new cars, allowing them to enter more areas without facing fines. I remember buying an older car that was China IV compliant, and I often got tickets when driving near the city. After switching to a China VI car, things became much easier. The fuel consumption is also lower, saving money in the long run and being more environmentally friendly, reducing smog. I recommend everyone check the emission standards carefully when buying a car to avoid future hassles.
