When will China III emission standard cars be forcibly scrapped?
1 Answers
China III emission standard cars do not have a fixed scrapping deadline, but they will be 'guided to scrap' after reaching 600,000 kilometers. For China III cars that fail to meet emission standards, rectification and penalties will be imposed. They can be modified with relevant technologies. Vehicles that still fail to meet emission standards after modification will be forcibly scrapped. The scrapping standards for China III cars are as follows: Non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including cars and SUVs) can be used for 15 years. After reaching the scrapping standard, they can continue to be used without approval if they pass the inspection. Tourist passenger vehicles and non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats can be used for 10 years. After reaching the scrapping standard, an extension can be applied for, but the maximum extension period cannot exceed 10 years. The service life of commercial buses is 10 years. After reaching the scrapping standard, an extension can be applied for, but the extension period cannot exceed 4 years. During the extension period, the vehicle must undergo four annual inspections.
