What symbol is used to represent China V vehicles?
2 Answers
The symbol for China V vehicle emission standards is the letter 'V'. Below is relevant information about the China V standard: 1. It is equivalent to the Euro V standard in the EU, which has been implemented since 2009, imposing strict limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter emitted by motor vehicles. 2. The fifth phase of the national motor vehicle emission standard was implemented nationwide starting from January 1, 2018, while Beijing began implementing it from January 1, 2016. Below is additional information about the China V emission standard: 1. Starting from July 1, 2017, all domestically manufactured, imported, sold, and registered heavy-duty diesel vehicles must comply with the China V standard requirements. 2. After July 1, 2017, 'China IV' vehicles were not allowed to be registered in some regions. 3. Starting from 2018, China III and China IV vehicles were prohibited from being driven on the road.
I've driven quite a few cars, and every time I buy a new or used one, I have to check the emission standards. China 5 vehicles are usually marked with the symbol "Guo V" or the Roman numeral "Ⅴ", typically printed on the motor vehicle registration certificate and vehicle qualification certificate, with a small label sticker near the front windshield. It's especially important to pay attention when choosing a car because big cities like Beijing and Shanghai have traffic restriction policies. Vehicles below China 5 may be restricted during peak hours, and emissions compliance is checked during annual inspections. Last year, a friend of mine bought a used car without carefully checking the label and later found out it was China 4, which almost caused trouble. I recommend checking this symbol on the documents before buying a car to avoid future hassles. Also, with China 6 vehicles gradually becoming more common, China 5 cars might depreciate slightly faster, though there's not much difference in maintenance.
