Can China 5 Vehicles Be Licensed After the Implementation of China 6 Standards?
1 Answers
After the implementation of China 6 standards, China 5 vehicles can no longer be licensed, but newly licensed China 5 vehicles can still continue to be used. Below is an introduction to China 5 and China 6: Introduction to China 6 Standards: Compared to China 5, China 6 standards impose stricter requirements on carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons in emissions. Additionally, China 6 standards include new regulations on PN particulate matter. Introduction to China 5 Standards: During the China 5 phase, emission standards for diesel and gasoline vehicles differed. However, China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Differences Between China 6 and China 5: After the formal implementation of China 6 standards, the main impact will be on the production, import, sale, and registration of new vehicles. Existing China 5 vehicles will no longer be allowed to be registered or licensed. However, previously registered and licensed China 5 vehicles can still be used, will not affect normal annual inspections, and can be traded as used vehicles. The China 6 standard will be one of the strictest standards globally. After July 1, 2019, China 5 vehicles in most regions of the country will no longer be eligible for licensing, and many regions have already or will implement the China 6 standard ahead of schedule.
