Beijing implemented the China 6 emission standard on January 1, 2020. The China 6 standard refers to the regulations established to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. Methods to check a vehicle's emission standard include: 1. Checking the vehicle's environmental protection label; 2. Querying through the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center; 3. Checking the vehicle's factory certificate; 4. Making a rough judgment based on the year of vehicle registration; 5. Visiting the vehicle management office with the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate for inquiry.

Last time I was changing cars in Beijing, I specifically checked the implementation date of China 6 emission standards. It turned out that the China 6b standard was officially implemented on July 1, 2019. Back then, the policy had just been introduced, and many old inventory cars were being sold at discounted prices. I almost got a good deal. This policy had a significant impact, mainly aimed at reducing exhaust pollution and improving air quality. As a major city, Beijing took the lead in implementing this, requiring all newly registered vehicles to comply with China 6 standards. I recommend checking the emission standards with the 4S store before buying a car to avoid purchasing an older China 5 model that might not be road-legal. In the long run, this policy has been quite effective, with much less urban smog, although new car prices were initially a bit inflated but have since stabilized. For ordinary people choosing a car, it's important to consider both fuel consumption and environmental protection. China 6 vehicles are actually more fuel-efficient and run smoother.

I've been in the automotive industry for several years. Beijing implemented the China 6b emission standard in early July 2019. I remember the market was quite active at that time, with dealers rushing to clear inventory. After the emission standard upgrade, new vehicles must pass stricter tests, featuring enhanced environmental performance and significantly reduced tailpipe emissions, which greatly benefits urban air quality. Car buyers should pay attention to this date to avoid purchasing non-compliant vehicles that may affect registration. Following the policy implementation, electric vehicles also gained popularity, as China 6 encourages low-emission options. It's advisable for consumers to check vehicle inspection information in advance. Choosing China 6-compliant models is both cost-effective and eco-friendly, with lower long-term maintenance costs.

As an environmentally conscious individual, I think the implementation of China VI-b emission standards in Beijing in July 2019 is particularly commendable. This standard significantly reduces vehicle emissions, cutting pollution and improving respiratory health. When purchasing a car, everyone should confirm it meets China VI standards to avoid outdated models with excessive exhaust emissions. This policy promotes green transportation, and Beijing's air quality will continue to improve in the future.

My research on automotive policies reveals that Beijing began implementing the China VI-b emission standard from July 1, 2019, which is part of a national trend where major cities take the lead in strictly controlling pollution. After implementation, new vehicles have become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, but the phase-out of older vehicles has accelerated. Before purchasing a car, please verify the vehicle's standard, as policy changes can affect market prices. It is advisable to plan ahead and choose models that comply with the China VI standard. The government's goal is to promote sustainable development through low-carbon standards.

What does extended braking distance mean?

When the brake pedal is pressed and braking occurs, if the distance exceeds the standard braking distance, it is called extended braking distance. Reasons for extended braking distance: Issues with brake pads or brake discs: First, the tread pattern of the tires may not provide the same grip as new tires. The brake discs and brake pads engage during braking to achieve the braking effect. Wear and tear occur every time the brakes are applied. Replacing the brake pads or brake discs can resolve this issue. Issues with brake fluid: Brake fluid is also crucial because it has a certain level of hygroscopicity. Over time, un-replaced brake fluid can absorb small amounts of moisture from the surrounding air, forming water vapor. While the fluid itself is incompressible, any gas that enters the fluid can be compressed. If the brake fluid contains water vapor, the braking force will be significantly reduced, affecting driving safety. This can also lead to soft braking. Replacing the brake fluid can solve this problem.

What lights should be used when meeting on narrow roads or bridges?

When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges at night, low beam headlights should be used. On roads without central barriers or center lines, drivers should switch to low beam headlights when meeting oncoming vehicles at a distance of more than 150 meters at night. When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges, low beam headlights should be used. When passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals at night, vehicles should drive with low beam headlights on. The low beam headlights of a car can be adjusted manually using the knob behind the headlight assembly. Park the car 10 meters away from a wall, measure the distances from the low beam to the central axis, from the high beam to the central axis, and from the low beam to the ground. Then move close to the wall and mark the corresponding positions on the wall. Observe whether the light beam deviates left or right, is too high or too low. If the center of the headlight beam does not align with the marked points, it indicates misalignment. Adjust the headlight width by rotating the adjustment knob until the center of the headlight beam aligns with the marks on the wall.

How often should a six-year-old car be inspected in the following years?

Small passenger vehicles require inspection every 2 years after the first 6 years. Vehicles older than 6 years must be inspected annually, while those exceeding 15 years of age require semi-annual inspections. Vehicle inspections include three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection. Key considerations for annual vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. Engine: Check whether the engine, chassis, body and attached equipment are clean, complete and functional; whether the paint finish is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records. 2. Braking performance: Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust and other safety features comply with technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles. 3. Vehicle condition: Inspect whether the vehicle has undergone modifications or alterations; verify if the registration details on the driving license, license plate and vehicle records match the current condition and whether any changes have undergone proper approval and modification procedures.

What are the reasons for the SVS light being on, inability to accelerate, and lack of power?

SVS light being on, inability to accelerate, and lack of power can be caused by faults in the engine or automatic transmission, carbon deposits in the throttle, or poor fuel quality. Faults in the engine or automatic transmission: When the ECU or TCU detects issues with the engine or automatic transmission, the SVS warning light will illuminate. The solution is to promptly visit a repair shop for professional diagnostics. Carbon deposits in the throttle: The main cause is the reciprocating motion of airflow during the engine's intake and exhaust strokes. Not only does air get sucked in during intake, but gas reflux during valve overlap can also lead to carbon buildup in the intake tract. The solution is regular maintenance and timely cleaning of carbon deposits. Poor fuel quality: Low-quality fuel can result in weak acceleration, affect the gasoline filter and fuel lines, and may cause poor fuel delivery, leading to acceleration issues. It can also impact the lifespan of the exhaust system's catalytic converter. If the catalytic converter is clogged, it will directly affect the vehicle's acceleration performance, increase fuel consumption, and cause acceleration problems. The solution is to switch to higher-quality fuel.
