What is the marking for China V vehicles?
2 Answers
China V emission standard is marked with a "V", which can be found on the vehicle's factory certificate or environmental standard list. Below are specific details about the China V standard: 1. The China Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, abbreviated as "China V Standard", has emission control levels equivalent to the European Union's currently implemented Euro 5 emission standard. 2. China V imposes stricter limits on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. From China I to China IV, each upgrade in the standard reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%.
My own car meets the China V emission standard, and the marking is very noticeable—it's a round blue label stuck on the top right corner of the windshield, with 'China V' written on it, indicating compliance with the fifth-stage emission standard. The 4S store affixed it when I bought the car, and it must pass inspection during the annual vehicle check; otherwise, it won’t pass. The China V standard was implemented in 2017 and is much stricter than the old standards, significantly reducing carbon monoxide and particulate emissions to protect the environment. Nowadays, many urban areas have traffic restrictions, and high-emission vehicles without this label may not be allowed into the city center, making driving more worry-free. As a car owner, I find it convenient to check the label's condition while washing the car. Remember, don’t peel it off—getting caught could result in fines and affect road safety.
