China IV vehicles were produced after 2011, with some also manufactured in 2010. Here is more relevant information: 1. China IV Emission Standard: The China IV emission standard is the national fourth-phase motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. Compared to China III, it requires light-duty vehicles to reduce single-vehicle pollutant emissions by approximately 50%, heavy-duty vehicles to reduce single-vehicle emissions by about 30%, and particulate matter emissions by over 80%. 2. About Passenger Vehicle Emission Test Cycles: Different countries and regions adopt different emission standards based on their actual conditions. For example, the United States has the U.S. standard, Europe has the Euro standard (Euro IV, Euro V, etc.), and China has the China standard (China V, China VI, etc.). However, there are mainly three test cycles for passenger vehicle emissions: the EU's NEDC cycle, the U.S.'s FTP75 cycle, and Japan's JC08 cycle. The China standard is primarily formulated with reference to the Euro standard, while Japan's standard is more influenced by the U.S. standard.

The implementation year of China IV vehicles mainly focused around 2010, which is a key milestone in analyzing emission standards from a technical perspective. I recall that the China IV standard for light-duty gasoline vehicles was mandatorily enforced nationwide in the first phase starting from July 2010, while diesel vehicles began full promotion from 2013. In practical terms, the production date on the vehicle or the registration certificate can be used to confirm the year, for example, most new cars produced in 2010 meet the China IV requirements. The purpose of the standard upgrade is to reduce pollutant emissions, such as hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, which must be significantly reduced. I often check the vehicle's environmental label or consult professional reports from 4S shops. If encountering issues with identifying older vehicles, it's best to verify the year's reliability using the VIN code query system to avoid misunderstandings caused by early implementation or regional differences, ensuring clarity when purchasing or maintaining a vehicle.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, the car I drive is a China IV emission standard vehicle purchased in 2010. At the time, the 4S store salesperson specifically emphasized that this model was launched to comply with the new emission standards. Typical model years for China IV vehicles include those produced between 2010 and 2013, though this varies by vehicle type, with light-duty vehicles transitioning earlier. In daily life, when purchasing a car, you can quickly determine if it falls under the China IV period by checking the manufacturing date on the vehicle registration certificate. I also advise novice drivers to regularly check the environmental green label or use app query tools to confirm this information, as it directly impacts annual inspection pass rates and future resale value. Looking back, vehicle inspections became stricter after the China IV standard was implemented, with exhaust emission tests including additional sensor checks. This has made drivers more attentive to maintaining engine and fuel system cleanliness. In summary, 2010 marked a turning point, and understanding these details can help everyone save money and avoid hassle.

From an environmental perspective, the implementation year of China IV vehicles typically refers to the emission standard reform initiated in 2010. During that era, China's rapid urbanization highlighted air quality issues, with major cities like Beijing taking the lead in 2010 to reduce particulate pollution hazards. This standard was mandatorily applied to new vehicles in 2010, significantly enhancing exhaust purification requirements, including key upgrades such as catalytic converter efficiency. I believe the China IV standard brought substantial environmental improvements, promoting green transformation in the automotive industry and reducing smog days. Looking back now, the old standards are outdated, and I encourage everyone to actively support the promotion of China VI standards for healthier travel.
