Can National 5 Vehicles Be Licensed?
1 Answers
National 5 vehicles cannot be licensed. National 5 represents the fifth phase of China's automotive emission control standards, where higher numbers indicate stricter regulations. Emission standards primarily apply to new vehicle inspections. Methods to determine a vehicle's emission standard include: 1. Check the annual inspection label on the windshield—National 3 is marked as III, National 4 as IV, National 5 as V, and National 6 as VI. 2. Visit the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website, enter the VIN and the last six digits of the engine number to query. Automotive emission standards regulate the levels of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM emitted from vehicle exhaust. To curb these pollutants, manufacturers are compelled to enhance their products, reducing emissions at the source. Domestically produced new vehicles are labeled with the European emission standard their engines meet.
