Beijing's China 6 standard came into effect on January 1, 2020. Here is relevant information: 1. Classification: Currently, the country divides the "China 6 standard" into two phases, "China 6a" and "China 6b", and plans to implement them nationwide uniformly in 2020 and 2023 respectively. 2. Introduction: The China 6 standard, also known as the "National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicle Pollutants", is a standard established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent pollution from vehicle exhaust to the environment, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health.
I remember the Beijing New Vehicle China 6 emission standard was implemented starting from July 1, 2019, directly adopting the China 6b standard, making it one of the earliest cities in the country to do so. I had just bought a new car around that time, right before and after the policy came into effect. Once the policy was announced, all new cars sold in Beijing had to meet this emission requirement to be registered; otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed on the road. This standard mainly aims to reduce tailpipe pollution, significantly cutting down on the tiny particulate matter emitted by vehicles, leading to noticeably cleaner air. When buying a new car, it's crucial to pay attention—opting for a China 6b compliant car is more environmentally friendly and can help avoid some regional driving restrictions. In the long run, it's better for both health and the environment. Honestly, after the policy was implemented, many older car models were phased out, and the market updated quite rapidly. My advice is, if you're planning to buy a car, check the vehicle's emission certificate first to save yourself a wasted trip.
