Non-local new energy vehicles (pure electric and hybrid) are subject to traffic restrictions in Beijing and must comply with the tail number restriction requirements when entering the city. The following is an introduction to the traffic restriction policy and its purpose: Introduction to traffic restrictions: The tail number restriction policy was implemented before the Beijing Olympics to ensure smooth traffic and meet air quality standards, and has since become a long-term policy. Purpose of traffic restrictions: One is to alleviate the traffic burden caused by the rapid growth of vehicles in Beijing, and the other is to reduce motor vehicle emissions and control the air pollution index in Beijing within a reasonable range. From October 5, 2020, to January 3, 2021, the tail numbers of vehicles restricted from Monday to Friday are: 4 and 9, 5 and 0, 1 and 6, 2 and 7, 3 and 8.
