Are There Motorcycles That Meet China V Emission Standards?
2 Answers
Motorcycles have not implemented the China V emission standards. Below are the specific details about China V compliant models: Identification: The China V emission standard is identified by the Roman numeral "V". Emission Levels: Under the China V standard, gasoline vehicles have a carbon monoxide emission limit of 1000 mg/km. Compared to the China IV standard, the sulfur content in China V gasoline is reduced by 80%. For vehicles of the same displacement, the sulfur dioxide emissions from five China V compliant vehicles are equivalent to those from one China IV compliant vehicle. Compared to the China IV standard, the China V standard reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and by 43% for heavy-duty vehicles.
A few days ago I was thinking about changing my motorcycle, so I went to the shop for a look. The sales guy told me that many new motorcycles now meet the China V emission standards. Actually, since 2018, the country has mandated the China V emission standards for motorcycles, implemented a bit later than for cars, mainly to reduce pollution and make the air cleaner. My neighbor Lao Wang bought a China V scooter last year, and he said it rides very smoothly, emits much less exhaust, and has lower noise. If you're looking to buy, I suggest you check for the environmental label on the bike or ask clearly if it's a China V version when purchasing. This way, it's not only legal on the road but also saves you some fuel costs and makes maintenance easier. China V motorcycles use more advanced catalytic converter technology, making them less prone to faults compared to older models. However, some cities have already introduced China VI standards, so when buying a new motorcycle, it's best to choose a newer version to avoid having to replace it in the future. In short, China V motorcycles are definitely available, and choosing them is the right move—safe and environmentally friendly.
