Can Shanxi National V Vehicles Still Be Licensed?
2 Answers
Shanxi National V vehicles can no longer be licensed. Starting from July 1, 2019, many cities across the country have officially implemented the National VI emission standards. In cities where the National VI emission standards have been implemented, vehicles meeting the National V emission standards cannot be licensed. Shanxi began implementing the National VI standards on July 1, 2019, and the National V standards ceased to be applicable for licensing. However, according to the regulations of various provinces and cities, there is typically at least a one-month transition period. For vehicles purchased before July 1, 2019 (excluding July 1, based on the purchase invoice date) and transferred from other provinces or cities to Shanxi (based on the transfer registration date on the motor vehicle registration certificate) that meet the National V emission standards, the traffic management departments of public security authorities can process vehicle registration procedures within one month from the implementation date specified in the notice. Registrations will not be processed after the deadline.
Speaking from the perspective of an old car enthusiast, here are a few words. In Shanxi, China 5 vehicles can no longer be newly registered, a policy that has been in effect since July 2020 when the China 6 emission standards were officially implemented. Having bought cars for many years, I've seen many friends trying to grab cheap China 5 inventory cars, only to get stuck during registration, learning their lesson the hard way. The environmental protection department has strict regulations—new vehicles must meet China 6 or higher emission standards. If you're eyeing used cars, importing from other regions might still be an option, but you must verify the emission level, or the DMV will outright reject it. I recommend directly aiming for China 6 vehicles or electric cars—they're now affordable and more eco-friendly. Always keep an eye on official websites or call 12345 for the latest policies before making any hasty decisions. In the long run, improving air quality is worth supporting, and our car purchases should keep pace with the times.
