What is the symbol for China VI vehicles?
2 Answers
The symbol for China VI vehicles is Ⅵ, which can generally be found on the vehicle inspection sheet. The inspection sheet includes details such as the model, color, emission standard, engine number, and chassis number. The Chinese government introduced the China I emission standard, which is based on European emission standards to align with international norms. From China I to China VI, Roman numerals have been used to denote the standards, with new emission standards being introduced every few years. Methods to check a vehicle's emission standard: 1. Vehicle Conformity Certificate; 2. Environmental Information List accompanying the vehicle; 3. Vehicle Qualification Certificate, where the vehicle's emission standard is clearly stated on the relevant certificates.
When buying a China VI vehicle, look for the label. As a car enthusiast, I always remind people to check the vehicle conformity certificate for "China VI" or "Guo Liu"—this is the official certification key. It’s printed on the factory nameplate, manual, or environmental compliance list, and sales documents like the purchase contract will also specify it. Last time at the 4S dealership, the salesperson popped the hood and pointed out the emissions label, even showing me how to search the environmental directory online using the VIN. If unsure about paperwork, most vehicles produced after 2019 comply with China VI—choosing them avoids future driving restrictions or penalties. Don’t just trust ads; actually pull up your phone to verify the model’s emission data. Supporting eco-friendly travel saves hassle and money.
