What to Do with China 5 Vehicles After the Implementation of China 6?

[ElenaLee]

After the implementation of China 6, China 5 vehicles can still be driven as usual. The China 6 standard will not have any direct impact on China 5 vehicles, but it may accelerate their depreciation. In some cities or regions where the China 6 emission standard is enforced, China 5 vehicles may no longer be eligible for registration, so this should be considered when purchasing a car. The new emission standard primarily targets automakers, requiring that all newly sold vehicles must meet the China 6 standard. This means that upgrades in powertrain technology will be necessary, involving significant manpower, material resources, and financial costs, which will ultimately be passed on to consumers, leading to higher car purchase costs. The term 'China 5' in vehicles refers to the emission level of tailpipe pollutants—the higher the number, the stricter the standard, and the lower the engine emissions.
