How old should a car be to meet China V emission standards?
2 Answers
2017 model year vehicles qualify as China V. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. The China V standard was fully implemented on July 1, 2017, so most vehicles produced in 2017 basically comply with China V specifications. 2. The nationwide implementation of China V vehicle emission standards began, with its emission control level equivalent to Europe's Euro 5 emission standard. Relevant information about China V includes: 1. Compared to China IV, China V reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. 2. The China V standard has been implemented nationwide since January 1, 2017 as the fifth-stage national motor vehicle emission standard. 3. China V also introduced emission limits for non-methane hydrocarbons and PM (particulate matter), reducing vehicle exhaust pollution to the atmospheric environment.
I have been engaged in automotive repair for over ten years. The China V emission standard was officially and comprehensively implemented on January 1, 2017, so basically, new cars produced in 2017 and thereafter fall under the China V category. Some major cities like Beijing piloted the standard as early as 2013, but nationwide, the simplest way to determine compliance when purchasing a car is to check the manufacturing year: most cars from 2017 onwards meet this standard. For confirmation, you can refer to the vehicle's environmental label sticker or check the VIN number on a government website to verify the emission level. This not only helps reduce air pollution but also enhances the resale value of used cars. When making a purchase, car owners should remember that the manufacturing year is a good clue—don’t just rely on the seller’s claims.
