What is the National Emission Standard for Vehicle V?
2 Answers
National V refers to the China 5 emission standard. Here is a partial introduction to the China 5 emission standard: 1. The full implementation of the 'China 5 standard' will significantly reduce vehicle exhaust pollution, achieving the goals of energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection; From a national macro perspective, the implementation of the 'China 5 standard' will inevitably force automobile companies to upgrade the overall quality of vehicles, which is of great significance for improving people's living environment; 2. The 'China 5' standard is stringent, requiring automakers to comprehensively upgrade and transform the vehicle's powertrain to achieve truly clean emissions.
I've been driving Volkswagen cars for many years and understand the importance of knowing the emission standards (National Standard levels) for different models. Volkswagen vehicles are categorized by production year, with older models possibly being National IV or V, while new cars after 2020 are mostly National VI-B. I pay special attention when changing cars because strict traffic restrictions in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai may prohibit National V cars with out-of-town license plates from entering. Emission standards affect both environmental protection and performance—National VI vehicles have more advanced exhaust treatment systems, reducing smog, though with slightly higher fuel consumption. I recommend checking the vehicle license or entering the VIN into an app before buying to confirm the standard and avoid restrictions on used older cars. By the way, the upgrade of national standards reflects the country's major trend in pollution control. Volkswagen responds quickly, and choosing higher-emission-standard cars is more cost-effective in the long run while also contributing to a cleaner society.
