Which cities have implemented the China VI emission standards?
1 Answers
The following 9 provinces and municipalities have officially confirmed the early implementation of the China VI standards, which took effect from January 1st. These cities are Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hainan. Additional information: 1. The implementation of China VI is divided into two phases: China VIa and China VIb. China VIa serves as a transitional phase from China V, with emission standards further improved based on China V, while China VIb represents the true China VI standard, the most stringent emission standard in history, imposing stricter requirements and limitations than Euro VI in many aspects. 2. It should be noted that the China VI standard is formulated based on international standards and is currently one of the most stringent emission standards globally, reaching the level of EU current vehicle fuel standards, with some indicators even surpassing EU standards. Compared to the currently implemented China V standard, China VI not only unifies gasoline and diesel standards but also introduces more requirements in eight areas, including particulate emission limits, test cycles and procedures, emission warranty periods, real-world driving emissions, and onboard diagnostics, making it the most stringent domestic emission standard. This poses direct challenges for automakers, the engine industry, component manufacturers, and after-treatment plants, primarily in terms of technological upgrades.
