How are China 5 and China 6 represented by letters?
2 Answers
China Ⅴ represents China 5, and China Ⅵ represents China 6. Here are the relevant details: 1. This representation uses Roman numerals, not letters. The Roman numerals Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ, Ⅶ, Ⅷ, Ⅸ, Ⅹ, Ⅺ, and Ⅻ correspond to the Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, respectively. 2. Automotive emission standards regulate the permissible levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). 3. Starting from January 1, 2004, Beijing upgraded its vehicle emission standards from Euro I to Euro II. By 2008, the Euro III standard was officially implemented. 4. Emission standards overview: On July 1, 2001, China introduced its first-phase emission standards, modeled after European standards. This was followed by China 2, China 3, China 4, China 5, and China 6, with each phase imposing stricter requirements than the last. The China 6 emission standard is 40%-50% more stringent than China 5, comparable to U.S. standards, making it one of the strictest emission standards globally. The China 6 standard is implemented in two phases: China 6a and China 6b, with China 6b being even stricter than China 6a.
China's emission standards are phased, where 'Guo Wu' is actually 'Guo V', and 'Guo Liu' is 'Guo VI', using Roman numerals (V for five, VI for six). This notation follows international conventions, such as Europe's Euro V and Euro VI, making it straightforward and easy to recognize, commonly seen in vehicle manuals and environmental labels. I remember when buying a car, the salesperson would emphasize that 'Guo VI' models are more advanced, with lower emission limits, making them more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. The upgrade in standards has driven technological innovations among automakers, such as improvements in catalytic converters. As a car enthusiast, I find this letter-based representation more user-friendly for knowledge dissemination, eliminating the need to memorize numbers rigidly.
