According to the regulations of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China, 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. More details about China III: 1. The China III standard refers to the third phase of China's vehicle emission standards. 2. The national third-phase emission standard is equivalent to the European Euro III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is equivalent to Euro III. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system.
