1 Answers
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, starting from July 1, 2008, the China Phase III emission standard was implemented for vehicles with a maximum total mass of 3500kg as approved by the National Development and Reform Commission's vehicle model announcement. Therefore, the China III standard came into effect on July 1, 2008. Introduction to the China III standard: 1. The China III standard refers to the China Phase III vehicle emission standard. 2. The China Phase III emission standard is equivalent to the Euro III emission standard, meaning the content of tail gas pollutants is equivalent to that of Euro III. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system.
