Can National V Vehicles Still Be Licensed in Baoding?
2 Answers
National V vehicles cannot be licensed in Baoding. Below are the specific details of Baoding's emission standards: 1. Implementation of National VI Standards: Baoding officially implemented the National VI emission standards starting from July 1, 2019. After July 1, models that do not meet the National VI emission standards will cease to be sold, registered, or transferred into the city. 2. Contents of National VI Standards: The National VI standards, also known as the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicles, impose stricter requirements on carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM particulate emissions for National VI B compared to National VI A, with National VI A serving as a transitional phase to National VI B. 3. Continuous Updates to Emission Standards: To alleviate environmental pressure, China's vehicle emission standards are continuously being updated.
A few days ago, I was helping a friend look for a car in Baoding and found that registering a China 5 vehicle is quite tricky. After the new China 6 emission standards were implemented, Baoding, as a major city in Hebei, requires all new vehicles to meet China 6b standards, making it nearly impossible to register new China 5 vehicles. For used cars, especially older China 5 vehicles transferred from other regions, it might still be possible to re-register them, but it depends on the current policy of Baoding's Vehicle Management Office—some models may fail the inspection. Last year, my neighbor bought a used China 5 car, and the registration process took a whole week due to strict environmental reviews. I suggest you check Baoding Traffic Management Bureau’s official website or call their service hotline 12328 now to avoid unnecessary hassle. Considering air pollution concerns, opting for a China 6 vehicle directly is more reliable and worry-free, giving you peace of mind while driving.
