Brilliance, Chery become first Chinese Auto brands to meet EU-IV standards

Shanghai. December 14 (Gasgoo.com); Some car models made by Brilliance Auto and Chery Auto have recently passed EU-IV emission tests made by the Environmental Protection Bureau of Beijing.

The Environmental Protection Bureau of Beijing announced earlier this month to implement EU-IV emissions in the city before the Olympic Games next year.

The bureau has recently approved 200 vehicle models that could meet EU-IV emission standards. While the vast majority the 200 models are foreign or joint venture brands, Brilliance and Chery are the only local automakers whose models have been approved by local authorities.

Brilliance Auto has 9 Jingbei passenger vehicle models and 5 Zhonghua sedan models approved by the local authorities.

Chery has one mini-MPV model codenamed Qilin 2 and two sedan models codenamed A1 (1.3 Liter), QQ (1.3 Liter) approved by local authorities.

"By next year, Chery may have one or two models that cannot meet EU-IV standards, or not allowed to be sold in Beijing area,¡± said Li Feng, deputy manager of Chery Auto. ¡°It takes time for all Chery-made vehicles to meet this standard.¡±
