China

Until recently, China has followed the EU pathway for vehicle emissions standards, with China 5 and China V standards analogous to Euro 5 and V for light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles, respectively. China 6 light-duty emissions standards include more stringent emission limits and compliance procedures than Euro 6. Historically, Beijing and other subnational regions have implemented vehicle emissions standards ahead of the rest of the country. China has adopted national standards for fuel consumption that apply to heavy-duty (currently Stage II) and light-duty (currently Phase IV) vehicles.
