China VI standards are divided into two phases, a and b. Starting from July 1, 2020, at the earliest, all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must fully comply with China VI. Below is a detailed introduction to the vehicle emission standards: 1. China III emission standards: The specific implementation times were July 1, 2009, for light-duty diesel vehicles; July 1, 2010, for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles; and July 1, 2008, for heavy-duty gas vehicles and heavy-duty diesel vehicles. 2. China IV emission standards: The nationwide implementation times were July 1, 2013, for light-duty diesel vehicles; July 1, 2013, for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles; January 1, 2011, for heavy-duty gas vehicles; and July 1, 2013, for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. 3. China V emission standards: Starting from July 1, 2017, China V emission standards were fully implemented nationwide. Compared to China IV, nitrogen oxide emissions were reduced by 25%, and new PM emission limits were added, making the standards stricter. 4. China VI emission standards: China VI standards are divided into two phases, 6A and 6B. The first phase began on July 1, 2020, prohibiting the sale, registration, and licensing of vehicles below the 6A emission standard. The second phase will start on July 1, 2023, prohibiting the sale, registration, and licensing of vehicles below the 6B emission standard.
