Can Used Cars Still Be Transferred After the Implementation of China 6 Emission Standards?

[DelOlivia]

After the implementation of China 6 emission standards, most regions only allow local transfers for used cars meeting China 4 standards, prohibiting cross-regional transfers. In some stricter first-tier cities, even China 5 vehicles are restricted to local transfers, or require at least China 5 standards for cross-regional vehicle registration. Post China 6 implementation, vehicles below China 6 emission standards can no longer be produced, sold, or registered, but this has minimal impact on the transfer of used cars. The implementation of China 6 standards has little effect on existing China 5 vehicles already on the road, allowing owners to continue using them normally. Mandatory vehicle scrapping has long been abolished, meaning there's theoretically no usage lifespan. However, with increasingly stringent emission requirements, actual usage duration depends on specific policies. The trial 'China 6' standards raise the threshold by nearly 50% compared to the current 'China 5' standards, significantly tightening pollutant emission limits. They also introduce new requirements for controlling pollutants during refueling and testing hybrid electric vehicles.
