When will the National VI emission standard be implemented in Guangdong Province?

Guangdong Province implemented the National VI emission standard from July 1, 2019. The following is relevant information about vehicle emission standards: 1. Vehicle emission standards refer to regulations on the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), PM (particulate matter, soot), etc. 2. In order to curb the production of harmful gases from vehicle emissions and encourage manufacturers to improve product technology, many countries have established relevant vehicle environmental emission standards (the three major international mainstream systems are European, American, and Japanese). Among them, the European standard is the most widely applied and is also the vehicle emission standard that China has referenced. Based on this, China has introduced national standards that are more suitable for its national conditions. Currently, both domestically produced and imported vehicle models must meet the National III or National IV standards.
I remember that Guangdong officially implemented the China VI emission standard on July 1, 2019. At that time, I was considering buying a new car and found that many vehicles on the market had to meet this new requirement, otherwise they couldn't be registered. The China VI standard mainly aims to reduce pollutants in vehicle exhaust, such as carbon monoxide and particulate emissions, which have been significantly reduced. This is particularly important for densely populated provinces like Guangdong, as it helps improve air quality. Car owners should pay attention to checking whether a used car meets the China VI standard when purchasing, otherwise the transfer of ownership might be restricted. Regular maintenance of the emission system can also help avoid fines or driving restrictions. Overall, since its implementation, this standard has contributed to the blue sky protection efforts in many cities. I believe everyone should prioritize environmentally friendly vehicles when choosing a car.
