When did China III start production?

[DiWyatt]

The China III standard for automobiles was implemented on July 1, 2008. According to national regulations, starting from July 1, 2008, the 'China III' emission testing standard for motor vehicle exhaust emissions became mandatory nationwide. This undoubtedly posed a significant impact on many automobile manufacturers, especially presenting both opportunities and challenges for bus manufacturers, one of the main players in the commercial vehicle sector. The upgrade in emission standards is beneficial for environmental protection. Below is an introduction to the China III standard: 1. The China III emission standard mainly refers to: HC emission levels below 0.2g/km, CO emission levels below 2.3g/km, NOx emission levels below 0.15g/km, with no PM requirement. 2. The China III emission standard is equivalent to the European III emission standard, meaning the pollutant content in the exhaust is similar to that of Euro III. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system.
