How old is the yellow label car?

The general difference is that domestic cars are basically manufactured before 1996, and imported cars are yellow-label cars before 1998, but some of these cars can be modified and some can't. Starting from 1999, Beijing began to implement the national emission standard for motor vehicles. The vehicles purchased before this basically belong to the category of yellow label vehicles, with an average age of about 13, and most of them are vehicles in Beijing A and Beijing E sections. Since 2003, Beijing has banned yellow label cars from entering the Second Ring Road.

According to the registered vehicle model and the environmental inspection of exhaust emission, it can be divided into two types: green sign and yellow sign. Environmental protection signs are referred to as "environmental protection signs", and cars with green or yellow environmental protection signs are referred to as "green label cars" or "yellow label cars". For gasoline vehicles that meet the national standards I and above, diesel vehicles that meet the national standards III and above, green environmental protection signs will be issued, and other vehicles will be issued yellow environmental protection signs.

Other consumers think that "carburetor car" is "yellow label car". In fact, the green label owners are mainly EFI vehicles and vehicles with three-way catalytic converters installed in carburetor, so carburetor vehicles are not absolutely "not environmentally friendly". Mainly depends on whether these cars are equipped with three-way catalytic converters.

Due to the backward exhaust emission control technology of these vehicles, the exhaust emission can not meet the European 1 standard, and the emission is 5 to 10 times that of new vehicles. Therefore, the environmental protection department only issues yellow environmental protection signs. Some cities (such as Beijing) will take restrictions on yellow-label vehicles, that is, limit the time and area they drive in the city. The establishment of yellow-label vehicles and green-label vehicles is to alleviate traffic congestion and air pollution in urban areas and promote the elimination of old vehicles.
