Lobby Letter to MEP on the National VI Standard Implementation

2017-09-12 | Beijing

In December 2016, the MEP and AQSIQ jointly issued the “Light Vehicle Emissions Limits and Measurement Methods (Stage 6) in China(National VI)”, which aims to roll out the most strict requirement on fuel efficiency for cars nationwide from 2020.  However, the draft regulation didn’t specify the detailed timeline on local implementation, which spurred speculations from the industry members. The Automotive Working Group, on behalf of the auto industry, sent a lobby letter to MEP Department of Air Environmental Management with regards to whether an implementation timetable of National VI standard at provincial level is available and  how much lead time will be given for the sector to make adjustment.
