I'm quite experienced in handling the Beijing Entry Permit. As a frequent driver, my experience tells me to bring all the basic documents: the original and photocopy of my ID card, the original and photocopy of my driver's license, as well as the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. The originals are for verification at the counter, while the photocopies are for submission. According to Beijing's new regulations, the environmental inspection certificate is crucial—make sure your vehicle passes the emissions test by bringing either the annual inspection slip or the environmental label. Booking online in advance can save a lot of time; I usually use the official app to get it done. Don’t forget to bring a mobile payment tool, as some locations accept cash, so it’s good to have some change on hand. Incomplete documents might lead to rejection, so I recommend keeping an extra set of photocopies in the car just in case. Safety first—don’t waste a trip by being unprepared. If everything goes smoothly, the whole process takes about 10 minutes. For new drivers, my advice is: don’t stress, just be well-prepared and you’ll be fine.

When I first applied for the Beijing Entry Permit, I was quite confused. It wasn't until I asked a friend that I learned I only needed to bring my ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate, with one set of originals and copies each. The on-site inspection is thorough, so it's recommended to prepare the copies in advance to save time. I downloaded the material checklist from the app, and don't forget to check the vehicle's violation records, otherwise the application won't go through. Bringing a phone for mobile payment makes fee payment convenient, and it's best to check the latest environmental requirements. Having the insurance policy on hand is also a good idea. The queues can be frustrating when crowded, so choosing to go in the morning when it's less busy is advisable. Overall, having genuine and valid documents is key. It's not as complicated as it seems, and simple preparations ensure a smooth process.

When traveling with family, handling documents is not difficult, just focus on bringing the car owner's documents: original and photocopies of ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate. Children may get impatient, so prepare photocopies in advance for quick processing. Pay attention to environmental requirements, and bring the inspection certificate if the vehicle's annual inspection is not expired. Don't forget to bring some water and snacks as there might be a crowd on-site. Ensure all documents are complete for a smooth process.

Can Turbocharged Engines Use Ethanol Gasoline?

Turbocharged engines can use ethanol gasoline. Additional information is as follows: 1. Turbocharged Engine: A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. The turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of the exhaust gas discharged by the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it into the cylinder. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinder. The increased air pressure and density enable the combustion of more fuel, and by adjusting the fuel quantity and engine speed accordingly, the engine's output power can be increased. 2. Ethanol Gasoline: Ethanol gasoline is an alternative energy source formed by blending fuel ethanol, processed from grains and various plant fibers, with regular gasoline in a certain proportion. According to China's national standard, ethanol gasoline is composed of 90% regular gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol. It is a mixture. Adding an appropriate amount of ethanol to gasoline as a vehicle fuel can save petroleum resources, reduce air pollution from vehicle exhaust, and promote agricultural production.

What to Do If a China V Vehicle Cannot Be Licensed?

The implementation of the China VI emission standard restricts the licensing of China V vehicles, primarily targeting new vehicles. New vehicles meeting the China V emission standard will face licensing restrictions. For used China V vehicles in the second-hand car market, the transaction involves only the normal transfer of ownership procedures and does not require re-licensing. As long as the necessary documents are complete—including the property certificate, vehicle license, valid annual inspection, compulsory traffic insurance, and the owner's ID card—the used car transaction can be completed. Additional information is as follows: 1. China V Standard: The China V standard, officially known as the National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently implemented in Europe. The European Union has enforced this standard since 2009, imposing stricter limits on pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Each upgrade from China I to China IV has reduced vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. 2. Implementation of China V: The China V standard has been implemented nationwide since January 1, 2017. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and some cities in Guangdong have already adopted the China V standard. Starting April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light-duty gasoline vehicles, light-duty diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (limited to public transport, sanitation, and postal services) in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region must comply with the China V emission standard.

What to Do When a White Car's Paint Gets Scratched?

If a white car's paint gets scratched, the treatment can be based on the severity of the scratch: 1. For light scratches, polishing can be applied: Polishing is only suitable for minor scratches. Moderate friction helps eliminate fine scratches, but excessive polishing can thin the paint layer, eventually leading to damage, which is not worth the effort. Therefore, moderate polishing can protect the paint, but it should not be done too frequently. 2. For deeper scratches, touch-up paint is needed: This is for more severe scratches. If the scratched area is small and you are skilled, you can purchase a touch-up pen to fix it yourself. 3. For larger scratched areas: You will need to go to a repair shop for professional repair. Depending on the situation, you can choose between insurance-covered repair or self-paid repair.

Is ETC Mandatory to Install?

It is not mandatory but encouraged for vehicle owners to install ETC. According to the State Council's regulations, vehicles without ETC after 2020 will not enjoy toll discounts, and in the future, only one manual lane will remain at highway toll stations, requiring manual fee payment. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; activation is required before normal use. During free holiday periods, ETC users can still use highways without being charged when passing through ETC lanes. The principle of ETC charging: Highways will have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, combined with computer networking technology for backend bank settlement, vehicles can pass toll stations without stopping to pay bridge and road fees. This is all based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles don't stop at toll stations; Reduced wear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation smart cards should be basically interoperable in key city clusters, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC should significantly increase." It also set a target in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" to "achieve a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." More future possibilities: Besides continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will promote ETC use for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC usage.
