How Many Seats for Passenger Vehicles in Beijing Do Not Require a Lottery?

[ZaneLynn]

In Beijing, only passenger vehicles with fewer than 7 seats require a lottery, while others do not. However, there are several types of vehicles that are exempt from the lottery. Here are the details: 1. Light panel vans: Since they are registered as trucks, they are not allowed to drive within the Fifth Ring Road from 6:00 to 23:00 every day. Additionally, they must undergo an annual inspection starting from the date of registration. During the inspection, it must be confirmed that the cargo partition is securely installed, the vehicle body is marked with 'Closed Truck' and the total weight, and reflective stickers are applied as required. The service life of these vehicles is 15 years. 2. Beijing-licensed vehicles auctioned by the court: These vehicles are usually seized by the court due to the original owner's debt or other reasons and then auctioned to settle the debt. However, it is important to note that to qualify for the auction, applicants must have participated in the lottery but failed to win. In other words, you must already be eligible for the Beijing passenger vehicle lottery to apply for the auction; otherwise, you cannot participate.
