2021 Chongqing Used Vehicle Relocation Emission Standards
2 Answers
2021 Chongqing used vehicle relocation emission standards state that vehicles not meeting the National IV emission standards are not permitted for relocation. Below are precautions for purchasing used vehicles: 1. Check the original vehicle invoice: The original vehicle invoice refers to the invoice issued when purchasing a new car. When buying a used vehicle that is a first-hand personal car, the invoice required for the transfer is the original vehicle invoice or the previous vehicle transfer invoice. 2. Precautions for the original vehicle invoice: When buying or selling a used car, pay special attention to checking whether the name of the vehicle owner on the original invoice matches that on the vehicle license. If they do not match, the vehicle may be of unknown origin or the invoice may be problematic.
Last year when I bought a used car in Chongqing, I encountered the emission standard issue for vehicle relocation. The 2021 policy required at least China V emission compliance, and China IV or below vehicles were directly rejected by the DMV. I purchased a China V used car at that time, and the registration process went much smoother. This regulation is mainly implemented to control urban air pollution, such as reducing black smoke and odor emissions. Before preparing for vehicle relocation, I suggest checking the vehicle's VIN code or emission label first to avoid wasted trips. The DMV provides free inquiry services, and specific announcements can also be found online. If the emission standard is not met, the vehicle must be disposed of or transferred to regions with lower standards - it's quite troublesome indeed, but beneficial for health in the long run. When purchasing cars, pay attention to the production year and model, for example, vehicles produced after 2017 are more likely to meet the standards.
