Are new energy vans restricted in Guangzhou?

[Mike]

New energy vans are not subject to traffic restrictions in Guangzhou. The following periods are exempt from the 'Four On, Four Off' policy: 1. During statutory holidays. 2. During the convening of the Communist Party of China Guangdong Provincial Congress, the plenary sessions of the Communist Party of China Guangdong Provincial Committee, the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress, and the Guangdong Provincial Political Consultative Conference. 5. During the China Import and Export Fair. Additional information: The 'Four On, Four Off' policy stipulates that non-Guangzhou registered small and medium-sized passenger vehicles entering the central area of Guangzhou cannot drive continuously for more than 4 days, and must wait at least 4 days before entering again. Violations of the 'Four On, Four Off' policy in Guangzhou will result in a penalty of 3 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan.

In Guangzhou, I've been driving a van for deliveries for several years. I remember the restrictions on gasoline-powered vans used to be very strict, especially for non-local license plates, with the 'drive four days, rest four days' rule often forcing detours. But since switching to a new energy van, things have become much easier! Policies support green-plate vehicles, and new energy vehicles, including pure electric and plug-in hybrids, aren't subject to restrictions. I drive around the city every day, and no one stops me even in restricted zones. It's truly hassle-free and cost-saving—no need to count driving days or worry about fines. Guangzhou is quite favorable toward new energy vehicles, including passenger cars and commercial vans, as the government encourages emission reduction. However, other types like diesel vans still face restrictions, so I recommend everyone switch to new energy vehicles sooner—it's both eco-friendly and convenient.

I work in car maintenance and have seen many van customers. In Guangzhou, new energy vans are indeed exempt from traffic restrictions! The policy grants exemptions to green-plate vehicles, including both electric and plug-in hybrid models. Customers have reported great driving freedom. For example, under the 'drive four days, rest four days' rule, both out-of-town and local gasoline vehicles need to stop for four days, but new energy vehicles are completely exempt. Some new owners aren't aware of this, so I remind them to check their vehicle certification and green plate application. The city offers significant benefits for new energy vehicles, including unrestricted driving and free license plate registration. Overall, using vans for work is very convenient with no obstacles.

I deliver packages every day using a new energy van. In Guangzhou, there are no traffic restrictions for this type of vehicle, so I can enter and exit restricted zones without any worries. When I drove a gasoline-powered vehicle before, I was always afraid of violating regulations, but now it's much more worry-free. The van is purely electric, and with a green license plate, it can travel freely without restrictions on whether the plate is local or out-of-town. Other trucks might face limitations, but new energy vehicles have clear advantages—faster deliveries and environmental friendliness. The air quality in Guangzhou is improving, and this policy deserves much of the credit. I recommend all drivers switch to new energy vehicles.
