What is the symbol for China VI vehicles?
2 Answers
The symbol for China VI vehicles is 'China VI'. China has promulgated the China VI vehicle emission standards, which are divided into two phases: China VIa and China VIb. The China VI Emission Standards for Motor Vehicles refer to the standards formulated to implement the Environmental Protection Law and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law, aiming to prevent pollution from exhaust emissions of compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The content of the China VI emission standards for vehicles includes: a 50% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions for gasoline vehicles, a 50% decrease in the emission limits for total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons, and a 42% tightening of the nitrogen oxide emission limits.
China VI vehicles mainly refer to those that comply with the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards. To identify them, the most direct indicator is on the vehicle nameplate or conformity certificate, which usually states China VIa or China VIb, with the standard number being GB18352.6-2016. In the engine compartment, the nameplate sticker often indicates the specific emission stage, or the vehicle manual contains an environmental certification description. Nowadays, new vehicles are mostly China VIb, which is stricter than the old standards, reducing pollutant emissions and benefiting urban air quality improvement. When buying or maintaining a car, I always check these details to confirm genuine compliance and avoid counterfeit products. If the markings are unclear, you can use the VIN to query environmental information online or consult professionals for testing. There's no noticeable difference in actual driving, but under environmental traffic restrictions, China VI vehicles face fewer limitations, making travel more convenient without worrying about policy changes.
