The differences between China V and China VI emission standards lie in emission limits, release dates, and issuing authorities. Specific details are as follows: Emission limits: The China VIa standard sets the carbon monoxide limit at 700 milligrams per kilometer, while the China VIb standard reduces it to 500 milligrams per kilometer. The China V standard allows 1000 milligrams per kilometer. Release dates: The China VI standard was released on June 22, 2018; the China V standard was released on September 17, 2013. Issuing authorities: The China VI standard was jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine; the China V standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

I’ve been driving a lot and noticed that the biggest difference between China 5 (CN5) and China 6 (CN6) emission standards lies in the strictness of pollutant limits. CN5, introduced several years ago, had relatively lenient requirements for emissions like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. In contrast, CN6 is far more stringent, especially in reducing particulate emissions significantly. In terms of implementation, CN5 was gradually enforced starting in 2017, while CN6 was rolled out in phases beginning in 2020—now, most new cars comply with CN6. Technically, CN6 adopts more advanced testing methods, such as Real Driving Emissions (RDE) tests, which better reflect actual pollution levels. This directly impacts vehicle design and performance: CN6-compliant cars feature upgraded engines and exhaust after-treatment systems. While driving feel may remain similar, their environmental performance improves notably, particularly in reducing smog during urban traffic congestion. As an experienced driver, I believe prioritizing CN6-compliant vehicles is wiser, especially since many regions now restrict CN5 cars on the road.

What do the approach angle and departure angle of a car mean?

Approach angle refers to the angle between the ground and the tangent line drawn from the foremost protruding point of the car to the front wheel when the car is fully loaded and stationary. Departure angle refers to the angle between the road surface and the tangent line drawn from the rearmost protruding point of the car to the rear wheel when the car is fully loaded and stationary. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Approach angle: The approach angle is the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and the plane tangent to the outer edge of the front wheel tire (under static load). Any rigid component fixed to the vehicle in front of the front axle must not be below this plane. The larger the approach angle, the less likely the car is to have a contact accident when boarding or disembarking a ferry or during off-road driving, and the better the car's passing performance. 2. Departure angle: The departure angle refers to the angle between the road surface and the tangent line drawn from the rearmost protruding point of the car to the rear wheel when the car is fully loaded and stationary, that is, the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and the plane tangent to the outer edge of the rearmost wheel tire (under static load). Any rigid component fixed to the vehicle behind the rearmost wheel must not be below this plane. It characterizes the car's ability to avoid collision when leaving obstacles (such as hills, ditches, etc.). The larger the departure angle, the better the car's passing performance.

What problems may occur after a vehicle wades through water?

Problems that may occur after a vehicle wades through water include: 1. Residual water can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully contacting, causing loss of braking power; 2. Rainwater on roads tends to be dirty with debris like fallen leaves, which can easily adhere to chassis gaps and cause rust; 3. If headlight covers aren't well sealed, water can enter during wading, creating condensation inside that affects light projection; 4. The engine compartment contains numerous wiring harnesses and circuits that may get wet during wading. If interfaces are found wet, immediate drying is necessary to prevent short circuits.

At how many kilometers does a vehicle require a major maintenance service?

Vehicles require a major maintenance service every 40,000 kilometers. Routine maintenance items include: replacement of engine oil and oil filter. The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear; the oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the oil, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the oil during an oil change. The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the operating environment. The gasoline filter is typically replaced after driving 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers.
