What is the China National V Emission Standard?
1 Answers
National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, abbreviated as the 'China National V Standard', has an emission control level equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently implemented in Europe. Implementation of the China National V Standard: The China National V Standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. Cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and some cities in Guangdong have already begun enforcing the China National V Standard. Starting from April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light-duty gasoline vehicles, light-duty diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (only for public transport, sanitation, and postal purposes) in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region must comply with the 'China National V' emission standard. EU Standard: The European Union has been implementing the Euro 5 standard since 2009, which imposes stricter limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter emitted by motor vehicles. Each upgrade from China National I to China National IV reduces vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%.
