⚖Beijing to further limit number of new cars.
BEIJING, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) — The Beijing municipal government said it will slash the new car registration quota by a third starting next year.
Currently, Beijing allocates 150,000 license plates for new cars every year, and that number will be reduced to 100,000 in 2018, according to a new regulation.
Beijing residents apply for new car license plates through a lottery-style bidding system. The system was introduced in 2011 with an aim to cut pollution and ease traffic jams in the Chinese capital.
