Can Used Cars Meeting China 5 Emission Standards Still Be Licensed?

[DelTanner]

Used cars meeting China 5 emission standards can be licensed. Definition of China 5: China's fifth-stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standards, abbreviated as China 5 standards, have emission control levels equivalent to Europe's currently implemented Euro 5 emission standards. The European Union has been enforcing these standards since 2009, which impose stricter limits on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Each upgrade from China 1 to China 4 has reduced single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. Differences: Compared to China 4 standards, the new standards reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. Based on Shanghai's annual vehicle registration volume of approximately 350,000 units, it is estimated that annual new vehicles can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by about 1,000 tons per year.
