Beijing, China's capital city, has banned the acceptance of new gasoline vehicles on ride-hailing platforms, effective July 20, according to a report today by China Automotive News, an affiliate of the People's Daily.

Beijing previously required gasoline cars with emission standards below National 6 to leave the ride-hailing market, and the latest policy bans new fuel cars from entering it.

Some gasoline car drivers in Beijing received alerts about their vehicles not meeting the requirements and needing to be replaced with green-plate vehicles when they registered on ride-hailing platforms, according to the report.

Shenzhen phased out fuel cars from ride-hailing platforms as early as 2020, and several cities including Guangzhou and Dongguan no longer accept fuel cars on those platforms.

Xi'an has started to fully retire fuel cars from ride-hailing platforms in June, significantly ahead of the original 2028 schedule.
