What Happens to China V Vehicles After China VI Standards?
2 Answers
After the implementation of China VI standards, China V vehicles can still be driven on the road without any issues. Here is some relevant information about China VI: Implementation Timeline of China VI Standards: The China VI standards were released by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on December 23, 2016, and June 22, 2018, respectively. The "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)" came into effect on July 1, 2019. The implementation of China VI standards imposes stricter requirements on emissions such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. Differences Between China V and China VI Standards: Compared to China V, the China VI standards enforce stricter limits on carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons in emissions. Additionally, China VI introduces new regulations on PN (particle number) particulate matter.
Since the implementation of China 6 emission standards, many friends have asked me what to do with my China 5 vehicle. I think there's no need to panic. You can still drive it, just pay attention to the increasing traffic restrictions in big cities and avoid those time slots. My China 5 SUV has been used for over three years, with decent power and fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance and inspections haven't caused much trouble. However, the second-hand market price has dropped significantly. If you really want to change cars, there are policy subsidies now, so it might be better to wait until the end of the year to see the market situation. Using high-quality engine oil regularly to keep emissions within standards, you can drive it for five or six years without problems. Remember, safe driving comes first. Don't insist on repairing an old car just to save money—replace it when necessary. We veteran car owners should stay updated with the news to avoid being misled.
