How many more years can a China IV vehicle run?

[VanEmilio]

As long as the vehicle is in good condition, a China IV vehicle can continue to be driven. The rumor that China IV vehicles cannot be driven after 2020 is false, as the government is unlikely to implement such measures for now. The maximum mandatory retirement period for China IV trucks is 15 years. More information about China IV vehicles is as follows: 1. China IV diesel vehicles can continue to be driven as long as they are in good condition. The only concern is that in a few years, first-tier cities may impose driving restrictions on China IV vehicles. 2. China IV refers to the level of total vehicle exhaust emissions. The higher the number, the higher the level, and the lower the corresponding engine emissions. Vehicle emissions include carbon dioxide, sulfides, nitrogen oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, non-methane total hydrocarbons, etc., which can damage the ozone layer.

I've been driving a China IV standard car for five or six years, and I feel it can still run for another three to five years in small cities without issues, mainly depending on how well you maintain it. If the car is in good condition, the engine and transmission can last much longer, but don't overlook policy changes. Currently, first- and second-tier metropolises may start restricting older emission standards, such as rumors that some places are preparing to limit China III standard cars, and China IV vehicles will inevitably be affected sooner or later. Regularly check the exhaust emission system and change the oil more frequently to make the car more durable. Don't worry too much about intimidating policies; keep an eye on local traffic management websites to stay updated with the latest regulations, so you can drive with more peace of mind.

From the perspective of automotive policies, I believe National IV emission standard vehicles can still run for approximately three to seven years, depending on regional development speeds. Major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen may introduce new traffic restrictions within the next two to three years, while smaller cities will likely have more lenient policies. The government is promoting environmental protection, with a national goal to phase out high-emission vehicles by 2030. Vehicle owners should check their local government websites, as some regions have already published implementation plans. Considering current vehicle conditions, regularly visit maintenance shops to test emission levels to avoid sudden road bans.

When dealing with second-hand car transactions, I've come across many National IV standard models, and buyers often ask about this issue. My opinion is that they can still run for several years without major problems, especially in small towns or rural areas. In cities, they might hold some value, but policies could lead to rapid depreciation. If you maintain the chassis and engine system well, driving for five or six years shouldn't be a problem. Don't just buy a car because it's cheap—check local traffic regulations for any planned restrictions to avoid a wasted investment.

As an environmentally conscious individual, I believe it's best to replace National IV emission standard vehicles as soon as possible. They have high emissions and heavy pollution, and may face driving restrictions in core urban areas within a year or two. Environmental standards are becoming increasingly stringent, with the nation promoting electric or National VI emission standard vehicles to reduce smog. On a personal level, consider upgrading to new or hybrid vehicle models, which can both protect the planet and avoid future road usage inconveniences. Remember, safety comes first, and policies prioritize urban areas.
