Can China V vehicles still be registered in Shenzhen?

If the China V vehicle was purchased before the implementation date and the Shenzhen license plate quota was obtained during the transition period, then the China V vehicle can still be registered with a Shenzhen license plate. Otherwise, it cannot. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Shenzhen's implementation of the China VI emission standard on July 1, 2019, was a decision announced earlier, but the chain reaction it triggered has brought ongoing troubles for car owners. 2. For example, it has led to a significant drop in the resale value of China IV and China V models, a surge in the market share of new energy vehicles, and the upcoming launch of corresponding China VI standard fuels. Among these, the biggest impact is that vehicles that do not meet the China VI standard will face restrictions on registration and licensing.

Shenzhen has strict restrictions on National V vehicles, generally making relocation impossible. I've studied the policies—after the mandatory implementation of the National VI emission standards in the city, non-local National V vehicles are essentially barred. The environmental protection department strictly controls pollution sources, so always check the latest regulations on Shenzhen Transport Bureau's official website before attempting relocation. Rather than going through the hassle, it's better to consider upgrading to a National VI or electric vehicle—it saves both money and trouble. Other major cities like Beijing and Shanghai have similar restrictions, so don't waste time and effort on non-compliant vehicles. The value of such cars will plummet, making it more cost-effective in the long run to switch to an eco-friendly vehicle.

As a car owner, last year I tried to relocate my China 5 emission standard vehicle from my hometown to Shenzhen, but hit a wall. The vehicle management office said it failed to meet emission standards and couldn't be registered, forcing me to sell the old car and buy a new one locally. This experience taught me that Shenzhen has strict air quality controls, making older models ineligible. Always check the Ministry of Transport website first to confirm requirements - don't make a wasted trip like I did. After upgrading to a low-emission vehicle, I drive with more peace of mind, and the air quality has improved significantly.

Financially, migrating a China 5 vehicle to Shenzhen is a poor choice. Under emission restrictions, older cars depreciate quickly, and the combined costs of migration fees and penalties are high. It's better to directly purchase a China 6 vehicle, as government subsidies can save a significant amount. Shenzhen's policies encourage clean energy, and upgrading can enhance asset value. High-emission vehicles are expensive to maintain and difficult to sell, making replacement the optimal choice.
