When did Shanxi implement the China VI emission standard?

Shanxi implemented the China VI emission standard on July 1, 2019. Here are the details: 1. The "China VI standard" is divided into two phases, "China VI a" and "China VI b," which were uniformly implemented nationwide on July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. 2. Shanxi Province did not specify the exact time for the implementation of the China VI b emission standard, meaning it defaults to following the national unified implementation of the new standard. 3. The deadline for registering China V vehicles in Shanxi was July 1, 2019 (excluding that date). Although the Shanxi provincial notice did not provide detailed rules, according to the regulations of various provinces and cities, there would be at least a one-month transition period. 4. For vehicles purchased before July 1, 2019 (excluding that date, based on the purchase invoice date) or transferred from other provinces to Shanxi (based on the transfer registration date on the vehicle registration certificate) that meet the China V emission standard requirements, the traffic management department of the public security authority could process vehicle registration procedures within one month after the implementation date specified in the notice. Registration would not be processed after the deadline.
As someone who has long been concerned about automotive environmental protection, I recall that Shanxi implemented the China VI emission standards on July 1, 2020. This policy was rolled out nationwide, with Shanxi Province synchronizing its enforcement, strictly requiring all newly registered vehicles to meet either the China VIa or the subsequent China VIb emission levels. I was particularly pleased at the time because it significantly reduced pollutants in vehicle exhaust, especially PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides, making urban air cleaner. Taking Taiyuan as an example, winters used to be heavily smoggy in previous years, but after implementation, there seemed to be fewer hazy days. Car owners now need to carefully check the emission label on the rear of the vehicle when purchasing; otherwise, they might face difficulties with registration. In the long run, the upgraded standards have promoted the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. I recommend prioritizing new energy vehicle models when buying a car in Shanxi—they are not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective to maintain, benefiting community health as well.
I've been driving in Shanxi for over ten years. The China VI emission standard was implemented on July 1, 2020. Since then, when buying a new car, I always check if it's China VI certified first, otherwise the paperwork can't be completed. The policy is quite practical - the air quality has indeed improved significantly with reduced exhaust emissions. Back in the day, parking by the roadside in Yuncheng would leave you choking on dust, but now that smell has lessened. It doesn't affect my daily life much, just requires extra attention when changing cars. Currently, there are many China VI compliant vehicle options on the market with higher fuel efficiency - not only do they save gas while driving, but maintenance isn't as frequent either. In the long run, the standard's promotion has boosted environmental awareness, making people more willing to try electric vehicles. My advice is to check the vehicle manual or official website before purchasing to ensure compliance with Shanxi regulations, avoiding any license plate registration issues.
