Can National V Vehicles Still Be Licensed in Baoding?
4 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.
As a car enthusiast, I often pay attention to changes in emission policies. After Baoding implemented the China VI standard, there are more restrictions on licensing China V vehicles. All new cars must meet China VI standards, but if you want to buy a used China V car, you might still manage to get it licensed, especially if it's a local transfer or a small-displacement model, which might still be possible during the transition period. From online information, I've learned that Baoding's environmental protection department has tightened inspections in recent years, requiring China V vehicles to provide an environmental compliance certificate for licensing. In practice, it's best to visit the vehicle management office on a weekend for on-site consultation, bringing your vehicle documents for pre-screening. In the long run, investing in a new energy vehicle or a China VI-compliant new car is wiser, reducing future hassles.
I recommend verifying the vehicle's emission standards before purchasing. Input the VIN code to check if it meets China 5 standards, then review Baoding's policy documents. New regulations require China 6b-compliant vehicles for registration, while older China 5 vehicles may face restrictions in the used car market. Contact the Baoding Vehicle Management Office directly or search online for 'Baoding vehicle registration regulations' to obtain the latest guidelines and address the issue promptly. Act quickly to avoid potential complications due to policy changes.
