How Many More Years Can National V Emission Standard Vehicles Be Driven?
1 Answers
Before July 1, 2025, domestic vehicles will still be inspected according to the National V standard. Here are some considerations regarding National VI: 1. After the implementation of the National VI standard, there will be certain requirements for fuel quality: Fuel that meets the National VI standard will be introduced to the market, and naturally, fuel prices will increase, raising the cost of vehicle maintenance for consumers. Here’s a suggestion for National V and National IV vehicle owners: it’s best to register with the relevant authorities and replace the vehicle’s three-way catalytic converter. This can improve the vehicle’s emission standard, thereby ensuring that the vehicle’s exhaust emissions meet the inspection requirements. 2. Registration: Otherwise, it may be considered unauthorized vehicle modification, which is not advisable. The government has established two phases, "National VI a" and "National VI b." In simple terms, "National VI a" serves as a transition period between "National V" and "National VI," while "National VI b" is the true "National VI" emission standard. National VI b will be implemented for gas-powered vehicles on January 1, 2021, and for all vehicles on July 1, 2023. The arrival of the "National VI era" will have a certain impact on the resale value of a large number of vehicle models that do not meet the National VI emission standard.
