What to Do with China V After China VI Implementation?
2 Answers
If your vehicle is China V or China IV, the implementation of China VI will not affect its normal operation on the road, as vehicles purchased are subject to the emission standards at the time of purchase. As long as the vehicle meets the standards, it can continue to be driven. However, after the implementation of China VI, the resale value of China V new vehicles will decrease compared to before, increasing the cost of changing cars. The differences between China V and China VI are: Different carbon monoxide emission requirements: China V vehicles have a carbon monoxide content of 1000mg per kilometer; China VI vehicles have a carbon monoxide content of 500mg per kilometer. Different letter representations: China V is represented by V; China VI is represented by VI. 3. Different issuing departments: The China V standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection; the China VI standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
I'm an average car owner who recently bought a National V emission standard vehicle. With the implementation of the National VI standard now, I'm feeling somewhat anxious. After consulting several friends and car dealers, they all said National V vehicles can still be driven normally without immediate forced retirement, though their resale value may depreciate faster. In major cities, there might be restrictions on new vehicle registrations or ownership transfers, but already registered vehicles won't be affected in terms of usage. My plan is to continue maintaining the car well, regularly checking the emission system to avoid issues during annual inspections. Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on government subsidy policies - if trade-in offers for new National VI vehicles are attractive, I'll consider upgrading. Long-term, environmental protection is the trend. A National V car can still last a few years, but I need to plan the replacement timeline in advance to avoid significant losses when selling later. Overall, no need to worry too much - just handle things step by step. Don't let car costs inflate your living expenses too much.
