What are the new regulations for National IV motorcycles in 2021?
1 Answers
The new policies for National IV motorcycles in 2021 mainly include four aspects of regulations: relaxing the age restrictions for applying for a driver's license; adjusting the annual inspection time for motorcycles between 6-10 years; modifying the inspection procedures for vehicles with 7-9 seats; and making new plans for vehicles not covered by the new policies (vehicles involved in major traffic accidents and modified vehicles will still follow the regulation of annual inspections). Additional details are as follows: 1. Nationwide inspection for motorcycles: Motorcycles registered within 6 years are exempt from on-site inspections, and motorcycle inspections can be conducted nationwide. Motorcycles exempt from inspection within 6 years are also exempt from environmental inspections. For applicants who need inspections in provinces (or autonomous regions/municipalities) other than where the motorcycle is registered, the requirement for an inter-provincial inspection authorization letter is abolished. For those who have already obtained such a letter but have not yet undergone inspection, the new regulations will apply, and no further authorization letter will be required. For motorcycles exempt from inspection within 6 years, the inspection exemption mark can be applied for across different provinces (or autonomous regions/municipalities). 2. Clarification of inspection exemption periods: Vehicles registered after June 1, 2017, can enjoy the policy of three inspection exemptions. Vehicles registered between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2017, having undergone one inspection, can enjoy two inspection exemptions. Vehicles registered between June 1, 2014, and May 31, 2015, having undergone two inspections, can enjoy one inspection exemption. Vehicles registered before May 31, 2014, will still follow the original regulations, requiring annual inspections. Note: Inspection exemption does not mean no inspection. When the annual inspection is due, motorcycle owners still need to go to the vehicle management office or its service agents to apply for the annual inspection compliance mark.
