Are Pickup Trucks Subject to Beijing License Plate Lottery?
1 Answers
No lottery is required. Pickup trucks are not classified as passenger vehicles but fall under the category of light-duty trucks. However, the drawback is that pickup trucks face driving restrictions in Beijing. There are no major issues driving outside the Fifth Ring Road, but they are prohibited from entering areas within the Fifth Ring Road (including the main roads of the Fifth Ring) from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM every day. Below is relevant information about pickup trucks: 1. Reasons for their popularity: Suitable for family road trips, and license plates can be obtained directly without participating in the lottery; 2. Beijing's driving restriction policy: Beijing-licensed pickup trucks are prohibited from driving within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding the main roads) from 6:00 to 23:00 daily. For non-Beijing licensed pickups, in addition to requiring a Beijing entry permit, they are prohibited from driving within the Sixth Ring Road (excluding) from 6:00 to 24:00 daily;
