In which year did China National V standard trucks begin?

China National V standard trucks were generally launched around 2016, with the standard officially implemented in July 2017. The China National V standard, officially known as the Fifth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles, was released on September 17, 2013, and came into effect in 2017. Compared to the National IV standard, the National V standard can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from vehicles by 25%-43%, significantly improving environmental efficiency. Here is more information: 1. The main difference between National V and National VI standards lies in the carbon monoxide emission limits. National VI reduces carbon monoxide emissions by approximately 50% compared to National V, with the final stage National VI b standard setting the limit at 500mg/km. 2. After the implementation of the National VI standard, National V standard trucks can still be used, but their resale value may decrease compared to National VI standard trucks.
I drive a truck and have experienced the transition of emission standards. The nationwide implementation of China V standards for trucks started on July 1, 2017. I remember that summer when the policy took effect, all new vehicles had to comply with this standard. Previously driving China IV vehicles with higher pollutant emissions, the upgrade to China V resulted in cleaner exhaust, which is also beneficial for our health as drivers. The initial investment in new vehicles was slightly higher, but it's more environmentally friendly in the long run. I advise fellow drivers to pay attention to the production date when purchasing trucks to avoid buying the wrong standard and facing restrictions in certain areas. The emission standards update quickly, and 2017 was a pivotal year driving the industry's green transformation. Personally, I updated my fleet in 2018 when dealers emphasized that China V was the new baseline, requiring the use of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) for maintenance to ensure efficient operation. Overall, this policy reduces pollution and supports clean air initiatives, which is commendable.
