1 Answers
China 5 emission standard will be implemented from January 1, 2017. The following is a related introduction to the China 5 standard: 1. Concept: The fifth stage national standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions, referred to as the "China 5 standard", has an emission control level equivalent to the European Union's fifth stage emission standard currently in effect. The EU has been implementing it since 2009, with stricter limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and suspended particles emitted by motor vehicles. 2. China 5 standard reduces pollutant emissions by 10%: Compared with the China 4 gasoline standard, the sulfur content in the China 5 standard is significantly reduced. According to calculations by the National Standards Committee, the implementation of the standard will greatly reduce vehicle pollutant emissions. It is estimated that in-use vehicles can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by about 300,000 tons annually, and new vehicles can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by about 90,000 tons cumulatively over five years.
