Mandatory implementation of China VI a emission standards: According to the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (China VI)" issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in 2016, light-duty vehicles will mandatorily implement the China VI a emission standards from July 1, 2020, and the China VI b emission standards will be mandatorily implemented from July 1, 2023. 2. New standards for expressway tolls: Starting from January 1, 2020, all toll roads nationwide will uniformly charge tolls according to the new version of the "Toll Road Vehicle Toll Classification". Vehicles with 8 or 9 seats will be reclassified from Class II to Class I, and will be charged as Class I vehicles in the future. At the same time, vehicles without ETC will no longer enjoy the basic preferential policy of no less than 5% in principle for vehicle tolls. 3.
