AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/27 Report--

In the last few days of 2018, several major provinces and cities issued the latest notices to postpone the implementation date of "National sixth" emissions. Cities such as Shenzhen, Beijing, Chengdu and Tianjin have made it clear that the sixth national emission standard will be implemented in July this year, and recently Shanghai has officially announced that it will implement the sixth national emission standard from July 1, 2019.

In fact, from July 1 this year, many places across the country will uniformly implement the national six emission standards, with the launch of the sixth grade, the elimination of old cars in China will also begin to accelerate.

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.

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.

Earlier, on April 10, the Shanghai government issued relevant guidance policies to study and promote the replacement of fuel vehicles into new energy vehicles, focusing on the elimination and renewal of old vehicles, while speeding up the upgrading of public sector vehicles to new energy vehicles.

According to the data, about 603000 vehicles with emission standards of Grade 3 and below are registered in Shanghai, of which there are about 480000 old vehicles more than 10 years old (140000 vehicles over 10 years old in both Grade 1 and 2, and about 340000 vehicles over 10 years old in Grade 3).

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.

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, and the car market is still grim this year.
