How much longer can National V vehicles be driven in Tianjin?
1 Answers
The notice issued by the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Transportation Commission, the Market Supervision Commission, and the Municipal Commerce Bureau regarding the implementation of the National Light-Duty Vehicle Phase VI Emission Standards states. The implementation date of the National VI emission standards in Tianjin is July 1, 2019, with Type I tests required to meet the Phase 6b emission limit requirements, directly skipping the National VIa standards. Regarding whether National V vehicles will be restricted or phased out, the situation is not as severe as it may seem. Some experts online have pointed out that if National VI standards are implemented, restrictions would likely start with National III vehicles first. Therefore, National V vehicle owners can rest assured for now. However, with future policy changes, National V vehicles may face restrictions when National VII or National VIII standards are introduced.
