When did China V vehicles start?
2 Answers
China V emission standards were implemented on July 1, 2017, so vehicles compliant with China IV emission standards were manufactured between 2011 and 2017. Currently, the new China VI standard has been introduced. Below is relevant information: 1. Emission Standards: As global environmental pollution issues become increasingly severe, countries worldwide are implementing stricter emission standards, which greatly benefit the protection of the Earth's environment. 2. Exhaust Treatment: Under stringent emission standards, automakers actively develop new technologies to reduce engine exhaust emissions.
I remember the China 5 emission standard was implemented in phases in China. Key northern regions adopted it from January 1, 2013, mainly due to severe environmental pollution there, requiring earlier adoption of cleaner emission standards. Other regions followed suit, with nationwide coverage for all vehicle types achieved by January 1, 2017. As a car enthusiast who closely tracks policy changes, I consider this standard quite significant—it reduced emissions from new vehicles by over 30% for pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to China 4, making notable contributions to air quality improvement. Naturally, this also impacted the used car market, with China 5-compliant vehicles retaining better value, especially models purchased post-2017 featuring upgraded fuel systems that deliver better fuel efficiency and environmental performance. For those considering China 5 vehicles, it's advisable to verify the manufacturing year meets the standard to avoid purchasing non-compliant older models. Overall, China 5's implementation marked a major stride in China's environmental progress.
