Shenzhen has introduced a new version of the online car-hailing management measures, and the newly registered online car-hailing must be pure electric vehicles

　　In the new issue of the government gazette, Shenzhen announced the revised "Shenzhen Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which came into force on December 1.

　　The new regulations require that newly registered online car-hailing vehicles must be pure electric vehicles. The "Measures" stipulate that vehicles engaged in online car-hailing business services should obtain a "Network Booking Taxi Transport Certificate", and the application for this certificate must meet the requirements of pure electric cars with a wheelbase of more than 2650 mm.

　　At the same time, Shenzhen also has new requirements for drivers. The "Measures" show that drivers engaged in online car-hailing business services should obtain the "Online Booking Taxi Driver’s License", which requires drivers to apply for the online booking taxi driver qualification test and pass the test results.

　　In addition, in order to provide employment convenience for drivers and reduce unnecessary employment restrictions, Shenzhen implements mutual recognition of taxi driver qualification certificates and online booking taxi driver certificates. Drivers can directly drive cruise taxis or online booking taxis before the expiration of the valid period of the former type of certificate.
