Can National 5 Vehicles Be Licensed in Nanjing?

[LeTanner]

National 5 vehicles cannot be licensed in Nanjing. Here is the relevant information: 1. Purchasing from other regions: Taxes must be paid in Nanjing, and the vehicle must meet the National 6 emission standards. 2. Nanjing residency: If you are a Nanjing resident and the vehicle meets Nanjing's emission standards, it can be transferred to Nanjing. 3. Policy: For specific policies, you can consult the Nanjing Vehicle Management Office. Below is an introduction to National 5 and National 6 standards: 1. Meaning: The higher the number, the more environmentally friendly the vehicle's emissions, and the later the release date, the stricter the energy-saving and emission-reduction requirements. 2. Pollution: National 1 has the highest pollution, while National 6 has the lowest, generally classified by year. 3. Engine: The biggest difference between National 5 and National 6 vehicles is that National 6 vehicles use a more efficient three-way catalytic converter, allowing the engine's emissions to meet National 6 standards. 4. Upgrade: The National 6 emission standard is an upgraded version of the National 5 standard, imposing stricter and more scientific requirements on vehicle tailpipe emissions.

While researching automotive policies, I found that the National V emission standard can no longer be used for new vehicle registration in Nanjing. This is because the country has been implementing the National VI standard for several years, and major cities including Nanjing strictly enforce it to reduce exhaust pollution and improve urban air quality. If you purchase a National V vehicle, attempting to register it directly at the vehicle management office will be rejected. I recommend directly opting for National VI or higher emission standard vehicles, which are not only more environmentally friendly but also offer better performance and fuel efficiency. For used cars, National V vehicles might still be tradable, but registration depends on specific circumstances—it’s best to bring relevant documents to the vehicle management office for confirmation. With Nanjing’s tight air quality control, this policy helps reduce smoggy days, and I support these measures.
