New Non Chinese5 emission cars to be banned from Guandong
From September 1st 2010, new cars that do not meet the Chinese5 Emission standard will not be allowed to be registered within Guangdong province in a bid to clean up the air in the World’s Factory. The ban is mostly in place in the Pearl Delta Region (珠江三角洲) which covers a series of cities in Guangdong, namely Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Foshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing.
The good news for consumers is that there is likely to be massive sale on Non Chinese5 emission vehicles in August as dealerships move to rid their stocks of vehicles they won’t be able to sell after September 1st.

Is China emissions level 5 equivalent to Euro IV or Euro V?
So how many cars models will this effect?
Is there a list or something? Maybe I can go to GZ and get my car then drive it back. Heck, if can save money…..
Broadly yes. China usually uses standards and regulations that are copied from either the US or EU. The problem is always with the implementation.
I have also read that they are on par, but I am not too sure if this is fact or not. Why not just use Euro5?

> Why not just use Euro5?
There is no Chinese parts maker that produces Euro V compliant emission control devices. They must be imported at great cost.
This is the reason Brilliance pulled out of Euro market, citing the difficulty and cost of meeting Euro V.
I think this is absolutely wrong news. It’s impossible for Pearl Delta Region to implement Chinese State V emission standards (equilavent to Euro V). According to my knowledge, they just began to enforce State IV on June 1 to welcome Guangzhou Asian Games.
I also think it must be Euro IV and not V. The current fuel quality in China would not allow for Euro V and none of the engines of the Chinese OEMs complies with Euro V right now. I would expect Euro V to start in Beijing in 2 to 3 years from now.
China 5 = EURO 4 – one step behind, but pretend to be ahead, as always
China’s State V is equivalent to Euro V on most of main items, incluint OBD, cold star etc.China 5 can be said EURO V. But the point here is that Guangdong areas will enforce China State IV, equivalent of Euro IV from Spetember 1 to welcom Guangzhou Asian Games.
Currently in CHina, only Beijing and Shanghai are implementing State IV, equivalent of Euro IV. Beijing implemented State IV in 2008 to welcome Olympic Games and Shanghai enforced State IV to welcome World Expo 2010 this year.
GuagnDong will be third area in China to implement State IV.
The engine technology in first line cities may reach Euro IV emission standards, the big problem will come from the fuel quality.
A car runs out of Beijing emitting State IV wasted gas but when it gets refueled in Henan Province, it will emit State III or II polluted air!
Afred,
Thanks for adding to the sensible discussion here. I have read recently that Shenzhen city plans to introduce Chinese5 fuel very soon：

My pleasure.
Here is a news about fuel quality. Shenzhen is to prepare State IV fuel very soon for upcoming State IV vehicles.
