When will Henan implement the China 6 emission standard?
2 Answers
Henan implemented the China 6 emission standard on July 1, 2019. Below are the standards and impacts of China 6 vehicles: Standards for China 6 vehicles: The China 6 emission standard, also known as the National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles, is an upgrade from the China 5 standard. It requires a reduction of over 50% in carbon monoxide and total hydrocarbon emissions compared to the previous standard. Impacts of China 6 vehicles: Most importantly, after the implementation of the China 6 emission standard, non-China 6 vehicles cannot be produced, sold, or registered. Following the standard, used China 4 vehicles can only be transferred locally, not across regions. In high-standard first-tier cities, even China 5 or China 6 vehicles can only be transferred locally, and incoming vehicles must meet the China 5 or China 6 standard.
The China VI emission standard was implemented in Henan starting from July 1, 2019. As a car owner, I experienced that transition period firsthand. At that time, I was planning to replace my car and visited several dealerships. The salespeople all emphasized that I had to finalize the purchase of a China V compliant vehicle before July, otherwise it couldn't be registered, and the discounts would be smaller. When the policy took effect, the market became somewhat chaotic - some dealers dumped their inventory at low prices, while new compliant vehicles were slightly more expensive but more environmentally friendly. Henan's urban air quality did benefit from this change, with reduced exhaust emissions and fewer hazy days. Nowadays, buyers need to be cautious when purchasing used cars to avoid older standard vehicles that may cause transfer complications. Overall, this transition promoted technological upgrades in new vehicles and encouraged more people to consider new energy options. If you plan to buy a car in Henan, remember to check the emission standard details on the vehicle compliance certificate to ensure roadworthiness.
