AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/10 Report--

Earlier, ten ministries and commissions jointly issued an article on January 28, proposing six measures to boost automobile consumption, including the measure of "promoting the scrapping and renewal of old cars". With the introduction of the sixth National Standard, old cars will also gradually enter the elimination process.

Shanghai is studying relevant guidance policies to promote the replacement of fuel vehicles into new energy vehicles, and will focus on the elimination and renewal of old vehicles, the Shanghai municipal government said at a news conference today (April 10). At the same time, we will speed up the upgrading of public sector vehicles to new energy vehicles. In order to support the replacement of vehicles with "national third" and lower emission standards in the Shanghai area, SAIC has set up a reward of 3 billion yuan. During the period from March 1 to June 30, Roewe, Mingjue and Chase products will be rewarded.

Shi Wenjun, deputy inspector of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, said at a news conference of the Shanghai municipal government on April 10 that Shanghai is determined to do a good job in the fight against pollution and win the battle to defend the blue sky, and the work related to "trading old cars for new ones" is progressing steadily, including the elimination of old cars and promoting the upgrading of public sector vehicles to new energy vehicles.

First, we will focus on the elimination and renewal of old vehicles, which will vigorously encourage users of old vehicles to buy environmentally friendly new vehicles and new energy vehicles according to the sixth national emission standard, so as to further reduce the total emission of atmospheric pollutants, reduce PM2.5 concentrations, and improve ambient air quality.

It is understood that there are about 603000 vehicles registered in Shanghai with emission standards of Grade 3 and below, of which there are about 480000 old vehicles more than 10 years old (140000 vehicles over 10 years old for both Grade 1 and 2, and about 340000 vehicles over 10 years old for Grade 3).

It was learned at a press conference held today that SAIC has set up a reward of 3 billion yuan to promote the trade-in of low-emission standard vehicles. Yu Jingmin, deputy general manager of SAIC passenger cars, said that starting from March 1, for consumers who have scrapped and eliminated Shanghai-branded vehicles with emission standards of No. 3 and below, and consumers who buy Roewe, Mingjue and Chase products, SAIC offers an incentive of 10, 000 yuan for each fuel vehicle. A reward of 15000 yuan each for the purchase of new energy vehicles. The event will be held from March 1 to June 30, 2019. If 3 billion of the funds are used up, the activity will end ahead of schedule.

On the other hand, SAIC will accelerate the upgrading of public domain vehicles to new energy vehicles. Specifically for public transport, sanitation, postal services, rental, commuting, light logistics and distribution and other public areas, Shanghai is studying relevant guidance policies to promote the replacement of fuel vehicles with new energy vehicles, and encourage relevant units to use pure electric vehicles that are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

In addition, it will further promote the development of auto finance, car rental and other auto services new business type and the new model, speed up the construction of infrastructure such as charging piles and hydrogen filling stations, and improve the used car trading market. to create a better environment for the development of new energy vehicles.

According to the data, 73724 new energy vehicles were licensed in Shanghai in 2018, an increase of 20.2% over the same period last year. The number of new energy vehicles registered in the January-February period of this year was 8805, and more than 60, 000 new energy vehicles are planned to be promoted in 2019. So far, the total number of new energy vehicles promoted in Shanghai has reached 249000, accounting for more than 10% of the total number of new energy vehicles in the country, and it is also the largest city for promotion and application in the world.

With regard to the promotion of new energy to phase out fuel vehicles, another part of China is more active. Hainan fired the "first shot". As early as March 5, the Hainan provincial government held a press conference in Haikou to formally release the Hainan Provincial Clean Energy vehicle Development Plan, which proposes a total ban on the sale of fuel vehicles in Hainan from 2030. Hainan Province is the first province in China to propose a ban on fuel-fueled vehicles, leading the way at home and around the world in terms of "running out of fuel".

As early as September 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that China has begun to study the formulation of a timetable for banning the sale of conventional fuel vehicles, but the exact time has not yet been set. Some people in the industry have said that the development of new energy vehicles is the only way for China to move from an automobile power to an automobile power, and China should give fuel vehicles a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles.

From July 1 this year, many places across the country will uniformly implement the sixth national emission standard. Compared with the "national five standards", the "national sixth standard" is more stringent. For example, light vehicles have increased the emission limits of carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, non-methane total hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and particulates by about 30% and 50%, which are intended to significantly reduce pollutant emissions and reduce oil and gas volatilization.

With the launch of the sixth National Day, the elimination of old cars in China will also begin to accelerate. as a big city with one of the largest output values of the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry in the country, Shanghai has carried out research on the relevant guiding policies for the elimination of old cars and the implementation of new energy. I believe that many urban areas will follow.

Since the second half of 2018, China's auto market has entered a cold winter. car production and sales in 2018 were 27.8092 million and 28.0806 million respectively, down 4.16% and 2.76% year-on-year, while passenger car production and sales were 23.529 million and 23.71 million, respectively, down 5.20% and 4.10% from the same period last year. This is also the first decline in China's auto market in more than 20 years.

Some experts said earlier that there is still room for growth in China's auto market, one of which is the elimination and upgrading of old cars. It is undeniable that the government's introduction of relevant policies to promote the elimination of old cars has affected consumers' demand for cars to a certain extent, thus stimulating consumption in the automobile market. On the other hand, the introduction of the sixth national emission standard is getting closer and closer, and at present, there are only a handful of national six models on the market. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation that there are no cars to sell, car companies are still facing some pressure.
