When will Guangdong implement China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
Guangdong implemented the China VI emission standards on July 1, 2019. Below is relevant information about China VI: 1. Concept of China VI: The term refers to vehicle emission standards that meet the requirements of the sixth stage of national emission standards, commonly abbreviated as China VI. This national vehicle emission standard began phased implementation starting from late 2019. China's vehicle emission standards are modeled after European standards, with the latest being the sixth stage emission standard, which is more stringent with progressively lower limits for various harmful gases. 2. Vehicle emission standards: These regulations specify limits for harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. The purpose of establishing vehicle emission standards is to curb the production of these harmful gases, encouraging automobile manufacturers to improve emission standards and reduce harmful emissions.
I remember Guangdong implemented the China VI emission standards in two phases. On July 1, 2019, it started enforcing the China VI-a standard for light-duty gasoline vehicles, making it one of the first provinces nationwide to do so. The recently implemented China VI-b phase follows the national policy, requiring all new vehicles purchased from July 1, 2023, to comply with this standard. Nowadays, when visiting car dealerships in Guangdong, you can mostly see the China VI-b label on the car windows. It's advisable to be extra cautious when buying a car, especially in the Pearl River Delta region, where environmental policies are strictly enforced, and even the transfer of China V vehicles is restricted. To check the specific emission standard of a model, the simplest way is to ask the salesperson to open the hood and look for the small yellow label.
