How Long Can China V Vehicles Be Driven After China VI Implementation?

[StephanieLynn]

After the implementation of China VI standards, China V vehicles can still be driven for at least 13 more years, for the following reasons: 1. Large market share: Compared to China II and China III vehicles, China IV and China V vehicles account for over 60% of the market share. In 2017, the number of China IV and China V vehicles nationwide accounted for 69.5% of all vehicle types, totaling nearly 150 million vehicles. 2. Slowing down of traffic restriction policies: Current traffic restriction policies are slowing down. A report in China Daily predicted that the buffer period for traffic restriction policies would be more than 3 years. Moreover, because traffic restriction policies actually involve the exercise of citizens' property rights, the 2015 revision of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law removed the authorization that allowed local governments to impose traffic restrictions on motor vehicles.
