What is the deadline for registering China V vehicles in Beijing?

Beijing stopped allowing registration of China V emission standard vehicles on July 1, 2019. Vehicles sold before this date that meet China V standards must complete registration before October 1, or they will not be processed. Below is relevant information about China VI: 1. Phases: The national "China VI standard" is divided into two phases - "China VI a" and "China VI b" - with plans for nationwide implementation in 2020 and 2023 respectively. However, many regions adopted the China VI standard earlier. After July 1, China V vehicles cannot be registered. (Other provinces follow local policies.) There is typically a transition period for standard implementation. For example, Henan province has a 1-month transition period where vehicles purchased before the standard implementation date can complete registration within one month after implementation. 2. Release: The China VI standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision on December 23, 2016 and June 22, 2018 respectively. The "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)" took effect on July 1, 2019. The implementation of China VI standards imposes stricter requirements on emissions including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons.

I remember in Beijing, the ban on registering China 5 vehicles started from July 1, 2019. After this policy took effect, newly purchased gasoline vehicles had to meet China 6 standards to be registered, while China 5 vehicles were no longer eligible. This was mainly due to Beijing's air quality issues - severe smog in the past prompted the government to implement China 6 standards to reduce exhaust emissions. As a car owner, I felt this change deeply. One moment I could still buy China 5 vehicles, then suddenly the policy changed and I had to plan ahead. Nowadays, China 6 vehicles are more common in the market. My advice is to always check the vehicle's environmental label before purchasing to avoid registration issues. In the long run, this policy has indeed helped improve the environment, and we should keep up by using more eco-friendly vehicles.

Regarding the restrictions on Beijing's National V emission standard vehicle registration, they were fully implemented in July 2019. I personally stepped into this pitfall before - only realizing National V vehicles were no longer eligible when trying to register my new car, forcing me to switch to a National VI standard vehicle. This mainly aligns with the National VI policy to reduce vehicle emissions and combat urban pollution. Beijing has always been strict in this regard. Looking back now, even when buying used cars back then, we had to pay attention to the standards, otherwise ownership transfer could be problematic. I recommend everyone regularly check policy updates to avoid last-minute rushes like I experienced. For daily life, this reminds us to pay more attention to environmental protection, reducing unnecessary car usage or trips.

Beijing stopped allowing registration of China 5 vehicles after July 1, 2019. Once the policy took effect, only China 6 compliant vehicles could be registered. This was implemented to reduce pollution, as China 5 vehicles no longer meet the new standards. Given the city's persistently poor air quality, restricting these high-emission vehicles is reasonable. Nowadays, car buyers specifically look for China 6 models to avoid complications.
