When Will China 5 Vehicles Stop Being Sold?
2 Answers
If the city or region where you are located has already implemented the China 6 standard, then the sale of new China 5 vehicles will be halted. Below is relevant information about China 5 vehicles: 1. Concept: China 5 vehicles are those that comply with the 'National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles'. The emission standard for motor vehicles is established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent pollution from vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. 2. Significance: It can significantly reduce sulfur dioxide emissions and also decrease nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon emissions by an average of about 10%. The latter two are among the main culprits causing PM2.5 in the air.
I remember that the nationwide sales of new China 5 vehicles were halted in July 2020, mainly because the China 6 standard was implemented at that time. In some major cities, the phase-out had already started as early as 2019. This was driven by the country's push for environmental upgrades to reduce exhaust pollution. The China 5 standard is much older than China 6, with significantly higher emissions. As ordinary consumers, we should stay updated with policy changes to avoid delaying our car purchase plans. You might still come across a few China 5 vehicles in the used car market, but new ones are basically extinct. I think this is a good move—it drives industry development, accelerates technological updates, and reminds everyone to pay attention to the new standards, making China 6 or electric vehicles more cost-effective choices when buying a car. The overall transition period wasn’t too long, but it took some time for all parties to adapt.
