Will China III Gasoline Cars Be Phased Out?
2 Answers
China III gasoline cars are currently not being phased out and can theoretically be driven until scrapped. At present, there is no clear timeline for the phase-out of China III gasoline vehicles, and the government has not issued any mandatory regulations to retire them. The decision depends on national policies and the actual conditions of each region. Here is some additional information: 1. Vehicle scrapping inspection: After 15 years, annual inspections are required twice a year, and after 20 years, four times a year. However, there is a mileage limit of 600,000 kilometers. Vehicles reaching this limit will be mandatorily scrapped. 2. Mileage: The average mileage for private cars is between 100,000 and 200,000 kilometers.
As an environmentally conscious individual, I'll discuss this issue from a policy perspective. The government is vigorously promoting electric vehicles and clean energy, making the phase-out of National III gasoline cars highly likely, as the 2008 emission standards are outdated and cause more pollution. Major cities like Beijing and Shanghai have long restricted National III vehicles from entering urban areas, with other cities nationwide following suit. The government plans to achieve carbon peak by 2030, and with older vehicles exceeding emission standards, they may face complete phase-out in the coming years. I understand some car owners are applying for subsidies to replace their vehicles early, but it's crucial to plan ahead and not wait until the last minute. Considering the broader environmental trends and health impacts, this phase-out represents an inevitable transitional stage.
