Where is the China VI Vehicle Symbol Located?
2 Answers
The symbol for China VI standard is 'China VI', and the China VI label is located on the vehicle's nameplate, positioned under the passenger-side B-pillar. The implementation of the China VI emission standard will be divided into two phases: 'China VI a' and 'China VI b', corresponding to the dates of July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. Here are some details about China VI: 1. The China VI emission standard is an upgraded version of the current China V emission standard. It imposes stricter limits on emissions of CO (carbon monoxide), THC (total hydrocarbons), NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbons), NOX (nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter) compared to the China V standard. Additionally, it introduces new regulations on PN (particulate number) emissions. 2. According to estimates, under the China VI emission standard, light-duty gasoline vehicles will see a reduction of approximately 50% in emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, non-methane total hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides compared to the China V phase, with particulate matter emissions reduced by about 40%. For heavy-duty diesel vehicles, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions will be reduced by more than 60% compared to the China V phase.
The China VI vehicle emission standard symbol is typically affixed to the lower right corner of the driver-side front windshield, where there's a yellow rectangular label clearly printed with "China VI" characters, sometimes accompanied by small icons or codes. This allows me to spot it at a glance when driving my own car. When purchasing used cars, I always check that area first to confirm the emission level, avoiding potential registration issues since China VI imposes stricter exhaust emission requirements - vehicles without this symbol are more likely to be stopped by traffic police. Additionally, the symbol's location might also be mentioned in the maintenance manual for both new and used cars. It's advisable to occasionally check that the label isn't damaged, as getting a replacement can be quite troublesome. These details help ensure greater peace of mind in daily vehicle use.
