When will Henan implement China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
Starting from July 1, 2019. Here is more information about China 6: 1. Differences between China 5 and China 6: Compared to China 5 standards, China 6 standards are stricter in controlling pollutant emission limits, making them one of the most stringent standards globally. 2. Differences between China 6 "a" and "b": According to the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (China 6)" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the China 6 standards for light vehicles are implemented in phases, with two emission limit schemes, China 6a and China 6b, implemented in 2020 and 2023 respectively. The emission standards for China 6a are basically the same as China 5, only taking the strictest values from China 5 emission requirements. China 6a is essentially a transitional phase from China 5 to China 6, while China 6b represents the true China 6 emission standards.
I remember the China VI emission standards were officially implemented in Henan on July 1, 2019, and the entire car market was buzzing with activity at that time. I happened to be planning to change my car then and visited seven or eight 4S stores, finding many China V vehicles being cleared from inventory at discounted prices. I almost impulsively bought a Highlander. My advice is to pay special attention to the manufacturing date when buying a used car. Although China V cars are cheaper, they might cause more trouble during future inspections. Now, all new cars in Henan comply with China VI standards, but be aware that there are two phases: China VI a and China VI b. When buying a used car, you can ask the seller to show the environmental compliance list to confirm the standard level. My neighbor bought a China V CR-V last year and had trouble passing the emission test during the inspection last month—it almost failed.
