What National Emission Standard Did Trucks Comply with in 2014?
2 Answers
In 2014, trucks complied with the National III emission standard for exhaust emissions. Below are detailed methods to identify the emission standard of a 2014 truck:1. Check the label: Look for the environmental protection label in the upper right corner of the windshield, which indicates the vehicle's exhaust emission standard.2. Check the model: For a 2014 truck, the specific brand and model of the truck, as well as the engine model it is equipped with, can help determine its emission standard.3. Visit the website: There is a clear mark on the back of the label. You can visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. Alternatively, you can take the vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle management office for inquiry.
As someone who has been working with trucks for years, I know very well that domestically produced trucks from 2014 mostly comply with the China IV emission standards. This standard was mandatorily implemented starting from 2013, primarily targeting new vehicle production, with an emphasis on reducing harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. During routine maintenance, I always check the vehicle's environmental label, commonly found in the manual or on the door nameplate. The China IV standard has significantly contributed to improving air quality, upgrading the catalytic system and OBD functions compared to the previous China III standard. If you're buying a used truck, a 2014 model with the China IV label will have smoother access in cities, as environmental regulations are getting stricter, with China V standards being introduced from 2017 onwards. When replacing parts, pay attention to sensor cleanliness to prevent emission exceedances that could cause issues during annual inspections. Overall, trucks from this year are still quite common in the market, and with good maintenance, they can run for a long time.
