  • About author:Dr. BAO Xiaofeng: He is a research professor, doctoral advisor and national certified engineer on environmental protection; The director of Vehicle Emission Control Center (VECC) of MEP China; a deputy chief engineer of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) and the principal scientist of Mobile Source Emission Control Research Division of CRAES. He also serves as the chairman at the Subcommittee of Vehicle and Vessel Pollution Prevention and Control, the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences (CSES); the chairman at the Subcommittee of Vehicle Pollution Prevention and Control, China Association of Environmental Protection Industry (CAEPI) and a vice chairman at the Subcommittee of Oil and Clean Fuel, Chinese Society of Internal Combustion (CSIC). He has been working on the administration and scientific research of vehicle pollution prevention and control for many years. Under his leadership, dozens of national policies, regulations and standards on vehicle pollution prevention and control have been drafted in these years.

Abstract:

Elevating standards for vehicle emissions is an effective approach to control vehicular emissions and improve air quality. Light-duty vehicles are the major contributors of HC and CO emissions for its large proportion in vehicle population, and controlling the light-duty vehicular emissions has always been the
emphasis of air pollution prevention in China. The progress of the emission control standards in Chinese Mainland, Japan and developed countries in Europe and America were firstly introduced. And the features of China 6 emission standards were analysed, namely continuation of European standards, import of World Light-Duty Test Cycle, reference of American standards. Then the control method of light-duty vehicular emissions was proposed based on the analysis of the emission control technology, improvement of automotive fuels and the supervision of on-board diagnostics (OBD). The future development of emissions standards and emission control technologies were prospected.
