When will Nanchang implement the China 6 standard?

The China 6 standard will be implemented uniformly according to national policy. The two emission limit schemes, China 6A and China 6B, will be implemented in 2020 and 2023 respectively. Below is relevant information about China 6: 1. Introduction: China 6 generally refers to the National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles. The National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles is a standard formulated to implement the "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China", to prevent pollution of the environment by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, to protect the ecological environment, and to safeguard human health. 2. China 6 symbol: The symbol for China 6 is 'China VI', which is the strictest automobile emission standard in China. The China 6 emission standard will be fully implemented in 2023. The implementation time of the China 6 emission standard is divided into two phases, 'China 6a' and 'China 6b', corresponding to July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively.
I remember Nanchang followed the nationwide unified timeline. The China 6b emission standard for gasoline vehicles was fully implemented on July 1, 2023. In fact, there had been a transition period of several years before that. Nanchang had rumors about early implementation back in 2021, but the actual enforcement started last summer. Now the new car market is entirely filled with China 6b compliant vehicles, and even the inventory cars have been mostly cleared out. If you go car shopping now, salespeople will definitely pat their chests and guarantee full compliance. The China 6b standard imposes particularly strict limits on particulate matter in exhaust emissions - even the air quality in older urban areas like ours feels somewhat improved. However, you can still find China 5 standard used cars in the secondhand market, which can be normally transferred and registered as long as they pass emission tests.
I specifically asked the 4S dealership about this last year when helping a friend car shopping. Nanchang started enforcing China 6b standards from July last year. There was an interesting episode at that time - some China 6a inventory vehicles were heavily discounted before July, sparking a wave of car purchases. Nowadays, new vehicles must be equipped with particulate filters to meet standards, which is why you'll notice many cars have that bulge under the exhaust pipe. What's quite interesting is that some China 5 government fleet vehicles retired by Nanchang institutions have entered the used car market, priced at less than half the cost of new China 6 vehicles, making them quite cost-effective for new drivers who just got their licenses to practice with.
