AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/08 Report--

On June 6, the National Development and Reform Commission formally issued a relevant "plan" to stimulate the new policy of automobile consumption, resolutely breaking down the barriers to passenger car consumption, strictly forbidding all localities to issue new car purchase restrictions, and vigorously promoting the consumption and use of new energy vehicles. all localities are not allowed to impose traffic restrictions or purchase restrictions on new energy vehicles, and those that have already been implemented should be abolished.

However, in the face of the relaxation of traffic restrictions and purchase restrictions, it has been pointed out that it will lead to increased traffic pressure in cities and the recurrence of congestion problems. In response to this problem, some experts say that in order to avoid a greater burden on urban traffic caused by the growth of vehicles, it can increase the cost of vehicles and reduce the intensity of vehicles.

Dong Wei, vice president of Shenzhen Urban Traffic Planning and Design Institute, said in an interview: city managers must find some ways to solve urban traffic congestion in other aspects, such as increasing the cost of using some vehicles. Including parking costs, vehicle fuel costs, through these measures to further improve the management means. More importantly, the city's public transport system, basic travel guarantee, should be relatively more perfect.

Cheng Shidong, director of the urban traffic office of the Comprehensive Transport Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the use of vehicles really affects urban traffic, not ownership. He believes that the more positive significance of the new deal is to force local governments at all levels to come up with more reasonable traffic governance policies, instead of relying on or even relying on administrative means to curb consumer demand, so as to ease traffic congestion.

Chen Yanyan, dean of the School of Urban Communications of Beijing University of Technology, believes that new energy vehicles also have a "contribution" to urban congestion. After lifting traffic restrictions and purchase restrictions, other measures should be introduced in time to reduce the intensity of vehicle use and avoid bringing greater burden to the city. City managers should regulate and control in a timely manner by means of economic leverage such as raising the cost of using cars.

Therefore, in the view of people in the industry, in order to solve urban congestion, we can increase the cost of vehicles and reduce the intensity of motor vehicles to achieve the goal. It means that traffic restrictions and purchase restrictions can be relaxed, but they should be "restricted".

The possible impact of stimulating car consumption on urban traffic has been taken into account in the new policy of the National Development and Reform Commission. The "Plan" makes it clear that local governments that have implemented car purchase restrictions should, in accordance with the effects of urban traffic congestion, pollution control, and traffic demand control, speed up the shift from limited purchase to guided use, and reasonably set up congested areas according to the situation of road congestion. We will study and explore policies on the classified use of vehicles inside and outside the congested areas, and in principle there are no restrictions on purchases outside the congested areas.

Some netizens said, "purchase restrictions are loose, in order to simple rough management of congestion, must be in the 'limited use' efforts." The development of public transport is simple, the efficiency of bus speed limit is low, and the subway is saturated. "

At present, China's automobile consumption situation is that in 2018, the domestic auto market experienced its first negative growth in 28 years, and the downward trend in 2019 has not been improved. Domestic passenger car sales fell 11.9% in the first four months of this year compared with the same period last year.
