When was China V implemented in Shanghai

[VanLawson]

According to the "Notice of Shanghai Municipal People's Government on Implementing the Fifth Stage National Vehicle Emission Standards in the City" issued by Shanghai Municipal Government, Shanghai implemented the China V standard from April 30, 2014. Compared with the China IV standard, the China V standard can reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. Based on Shanghai's annual vehicle registration statistics, it is estimated that newly added vehicles can reduce annual NOx emissions by about 1,000 tons. With the increase of China V vehicles, the cumulative emission reduction will be considerable. There are two main types of China V standard vehicles: 1. Light-duty gasoline vehicles with a total mass less than 3,500 kg; 2. Heavy-duty diesel vehicles for public transport, sanitation, and postal purposes.
