What to Do with China 5 Vehicles After China 6 Emission Standard is Implemented?

[StStella]

After the implementation of the China 6 emission standard, China 5 vehicles can still be driven as usual, and the new standard will not directly affect them. However, it may accelerate the depreciation rate of China 5 vehicles. Note: Some cities or regions may stop allowing license plate registration for China 5 vehicles once the China 6 standard takes effect. China 5 and China 6 refer to different phases of China's motor vehicle emission standards, primarily aimed at controlling and reducing vehicle pollutant emissions. Later standards are more focused on energy conservation and emission reduction. The differences between China 5 and China 6 vehicles are as follows: 1. Stricter emission limits in China 6: The China 6 standard imposes 40% to 50% stricter emission limits compared to China 5. In terms of emission standards, nitrogen oxides are reduced by 77%, and particulate matter is reduced by 67%. The China 6 standard introduces a limit on particle number (PN) and tightens requirements for emission control device durability and onboard diagnostics (OBD). 2. Fuel-neutral principle in China 6: Regardless of the fuel type, the emission limits remain the same. Under the previous China 5 standard, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards. 3. Higher compliance and regulatory requirements in China 6: This includes type inspection and information disclosure, production consistency checks, new vehicle inspections, in-use vehicle compliance checks, and simplified methods for determining compliance.
