When did China National V vehicles start production?
2 Answers
China National V emission standard vehicles started production in 2012 and the standard was implemented in 2013. The emission control level of China National V standard is equivalent to the European Euro 5 emission standard currently in implementation: 1. China National V vehicles refer to those that comply with the 'China National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard'. The motor vehicle pollutant emission standard was established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution to the environment, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. 2. The European Union has been implementing this standard since 2009, which imposes stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Each upgrade from National I to National IV reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. The China National V standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. 3. Shortly after the implementation of the China National V standard, the China National VI standard was quickly put on the agenda. Many regions implemented the China National VI standard ahead of schedule. Taking Guangdong Province as an example, from July 1, 2019, newly registered vehicles in Guangdong must comply with the China National VI emission standard. At that time, only China National VI standard new vehicles were available on the market, and vehicles transferred from other regions must also meet the China National VI standard.
I remember China V vehicles started production around 2016. At that time, I was changing cars, and the dealership salesperson said all new cars met the China V standard, complying with the new nationwide emission regulations taking effect in 2017. As an ordinary car owner, I noticed automakers had been preparing since late 2015 by upgrading production lines to reduce exhaust pollution. Choosing China V vehicles was not only environmentally friendly but also saved some fuel costs, with less black smoke from reduced emissions. Later in 2019 when China VI standards emerged, China V vehicle sales declined, but you can still see many on the roads today. They offer good value when buying used cars. The early production was to adapt to policy changes, avoiding manufacturer penalties and making the transition easier for consumers.
