What to Do with China 5 When China 6 Arrives?
1 Answers
China 5 vehicles can still be driven. Currently, some cars already meet the China 6 standard, but China 3 and China 4 private cars are still common on the streets. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Restricting automakers: The new standard is only intended to restrict automakers, ensuring that vehicles sold must meet the China 6 standard requirements. For vehicles already purchased under the China 5 standard, they will still operate according to the emission status at the time of purchase. This means even after the China 6 standard is implemented, China 5 vehicles can be driven with peace of mind. However, their resale value may not be as high, and the cost of replacing the vehicle may increase. 2. An upgrade from China 5: The China 6 standard is an upgrade from the China 5 standard and will become one of the strictest standards globally. Compared to the China 5 standard, China 6 will strictly control pollutant emission limits. Under conditions excluding driving cycles and test influences, carbon monoxide emissions from gasoline vehicles will be reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits will drop by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emission limits will be tightened by 42%. Overall, the China 6 standard is based on international standards and is completely different from the previous China 3, China 4, and China 5 standards.
