"16 cars, each car subsidizes more than 7,000 yuan, and you can get a total of more than 110,000 state subsidies!" On February 3rd, Ms. Lv Wanru successfully completed all the procedures for scrapping vehicles before the joint service window for the application and distribution of yellow label vehicle elimination subsidy funds in the investment service hall of Chaoyang District, Beijing.
She packed up a thick pile of scrapping procedures in her hand and said, "We have done detailed consultation before, and we have a certain understanding of various policies and subsidy amounts. After negotiation, the company decided to completely scrap all the 16 yellow-label cars we have." The company mentioned by Lv Wanru is Beijing Aoshunda Container Transportation Company, and she is the person in charge of the company.
At present, there are 3.5 million motor vehicles in Beijing, and the total discharge of various pollutants has reached 1.2 million tons. Among them, there are 350,000 yellow-label vehicles with high emissions and high pollution, accounting for 10% of the total number of motor vehicles in Beijing, while pollutant emissions account for 50% of the total. The pollution emission of an old "yellow label car" is equivalent to 28 times of the current new car emission standard country IV. In 2009, Beijing set a special ban schedule for high-emission vehicles, mainly yellow-label vehicles.
Among the more than 350,000 yellow-label vehicles eliminated in Beijing, trucks occupy a considerable share. The owners of these vehicles are basically small and medium-sized logistics enterprises and individual car owners. As expected, the move to eliminate yellow-label vehicles has greatly impacted the logistics industry. "After the yellow label car was restricted, the capacity of our company was very tight. There are more than 100 large trucks of various brands in our company, 16 of which are yellow-label cars. "
In fact, in the tide of yellow label car delisting, Beijing Aoshunda Container Transportation Company is just a microcosm. Companies and individuals who own yellow-label cars like Ms. Lu are considering various advantages and disadvantages, gains and losses.
Examination on delisting of yellow label vehicles
"It seems that the government has made great determination this time!" Outside the investment service hall in Chaoyang District, Li Xiansheng, who has just consulted the relevant policies for eliminating yellow-label vehicles, is still a little hesitant. "I have been considering how to deal with it these two days." He has a Futian heavy truck, which he bought in 1995, mainly for transportation, and it is still in good condition. "If there is no elimination of the yellow label car this time, it will be no problem to run for another seven or eight years. I have never been out since the yellow label car was restricted last month."
After the Olympic Games, accelerating the prevention and control of high-emission motor vehicle pollution has become the top priority of Beijing’s environmental protection work. In order to consolidate the achievements of environmental protection and keep the blue sky and green water for Beijing, on September 28, 2008, all 3,000 yellow-labeled vehicles of Beijing party and government organs took the lead in sealing up.
In 2009, Beijing set a special ban timetable for high-emission motor vehicles, mainly yellow-label vehicles: from January 1, 2009, all kinds of yellow-label vehicles, such as transport dregs, are prohibited from driving on the roads within the Fifth Ring Road (including) all day, except to ensure the production, life and operation of the city; Before October 1, 2009, all the yellow-label vehicles that guarantee the operation of the city will be eliminated and updated; From October 1st, all yellow-label vehicles are prohibited from driving on the roads within the Sixth Ring Road (inclusive).
In order to speed up the elimination of yellow-label vehicles, on December 30, 2008, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau and the Finance Bureau jointly issued an incentive policy for the elimination of high-pollution vehicles with a validity period of one year. The encouragement standard is implemented in two stages according to the model and age-
In the first stage, from September 27, 2008 to June 30, 2009, the maximum amount of incentive funds can reach 25,000 yuan, and the lowest is 800 yuan; In the second stage, from July 1st to December 31st, 2009, those eliminated here will be encouraged with a maximum of 22,000 yuan and a minimum of 500 yuan.
According to the regulations, the transportation department calculated an account: if a car owner originally purchased a heavy cargo transport vehicle with a price of 300,000 yuan in 2004 and eliminated it before June 30, 2009, he could get an incentive fund of 15,000 yuan; At the same time, you can get a loan discount of up to 36,000 yuan if you buy a green label car of the same grade. The two items add up to 51,000 yuan. Moreover, if the owner participates in the "green team", he can also get a grant. If it is eliminated between July 1 and December 31, 2009, it will only be encouraged by 13,000 yuan, which is 2,000 yuan less.
A crowd of people holding cars and watching.
Stimulated by the restriction policy and economic encouragement, more and more yellow-label cars are either transferred out of Beijing or completely scrapped. At the same time, however, there are still many yellow-label car owners who are "waiting to see". It is predicted that the elimination peak of yellow label vehicles will be formed after the year.
"Now there are many people who consult every day, and there are more people who hold a wait-and-see attitude." On February 3rd, Wang Shufen, the stationmaster of the tail gas station of Beijing Shunyi District Environmental Protection Bureau, gave us such a set of data: from January 12th to February 2nd, Shunyi District received 1,989 on-site consultations, 1,704 telephone consultations, and 58 yellow label vehicles were transferred or eliminated. "We expect that the yellow label car will be eliminated in the future."
"In January, a total of 150 scrapped vehicles were recovered, about 20% more than the same period of last year. It is estimated that there will be a peak in March and April." Zhou Heping, a staff member of Beijing United Automobile Disassembly Factory, said.
Li Kunsheng, director of the Vehicle Exhaust Emission Management Office of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau, revealed that since January 12, the joint service window for the elimination of yellow label vehicles in the administrative offices of 18 districts and counties in this city was officially opened to the public, as of February 1, the city had handled 844 procedures for eliminating yellow label vehicles. Among them, 407 were transferred out and 437 were scrapped, accounting for 55%.
Judging from the current elimination situation, the number of vehicles that choose to be scrapped is more than expected. "This is mainly because the country has gradually implemented the national III emission standard, and it is difficult to handle the transfer; On the other hand, the people’s awareness of environmental protection has increased, and the number of people who voluntarily scrap has increased; At the same time, the government subsidy is strong, and the car owners are satisfied with the subsidy amount. "
"In March, we strive to eliminate 106,000 of the 356,800 yellow-label vehicles, accounting for about 30%, that is, about 2,100 vehicles are eliminated every day." Li Kunsheng said.
Who should "pay the bill" for delisting yellow label cars
"Turned out of the northeast!" In the investment service hall of Chaoyang District, Dong Xianglong, who is filling out the application form, said, "The Nanjing medium-sized bus-Iveco in 1996 is in pretty good condition. Counting state subsidies and car sales, you still have to lose about 20,000 yuan. "
Compared with Dong Xianglong, Mr. Zhao’s loss seems to be even greater. "Now a car has only run 170,000 kilometers. If it is not eliminated, it can be used for at least another 10 years." At the Shunyi District Government Economic Development Service Center, Mr. Zhao, who has just completed the transfer procedures of two Japanese Isuzu cement tankers, said, "When I bought a car, it was more than 700,000 yuan, and now it has only sold more than 50,000 yuan. The state has given two cars a total subsidy of 26,000 yuan."
Mr. Zhao’s experience just shows the interest "triangle debt" behind the current delisting trend of yellow-label cars-when they were first purchased, these yellow-label cars met the emission standards announced by the government at that time. However, with the rapid development of the automobile industry, the number of cars is increasing, the air pollution is becoming more and more serious, and the government’s emission standards have been improving. How can consumers make cars bought 10 years ago meet the emission standards 10 years later? As a result, the car has not yet reached the retirement age, but the government has asked for restrictions or even "forced retirement" on the grounds that the emission standards are too low.
Some analysts believe that the relevant government departments lack foresight in the formulation of emission standards, allowing consumers to "pay the bill" for decision-making mistakes. Although it is everyone’s responsibility to improve the atmospheric environment in the capital, it should not only let some people bear the cost. Nowadays, the automobile exhaust pollution is a historical debt caused by the relevant policies of the government, the production level of automobile manufacturers and the consumers and users of motor vehicles. Therefore, the delisting of yellow-label vehicles should also be shared by the government, automobile manufacturers and consumers. This also embodies the principle that whoever pollutes should be treated.
On December 30, 2008, Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau and Finance Bureau jointly issued the encouragement policy for the elimination of high-pollution motor vehicles, taking the lead in implementing the elimination compensation policy for high-pollution yellow-label vehicles nationwide. Chen Nan, director of the Economic Construction Division I of Beijing Finance Bureau, said that nearly 2 million yuan of subsidy funds for the first batch of 225 yellow-label vehicles have been distributed to the owners. "Once there is insufficient funds in the special accounts of yellow-label vehicles in various districts and counties, we will replenish them in time. It is estimated that by the end of this year, according to the estimation that all 350,000 yellow-label vehicles in the city are scrapped, the subsidy funds invested will reach about 1 billion yuan. "
In the face of government subsidies, many yellow label car owners expressed satisfaction. "I didn’t expect the government to subsidize us, which is somewhat unexpected."
"I am very satisfied to receive a subsidy of 18,000 yuan from the government within 15 working days. Next, I plan to buy an energy-saving and environmentally-friendly car." Mr. Guo Hangqing said that he had gone through the transfer formalities for the bus he bought in 1998.
Since the "Joint Service Window for Elimination of Yellow Label Vehicles" was opened in the administrative offices of all districts and counties in Beijing, the elimination of yellow label vehicles has progressed smoothly, and it has also been widely supported by car owners. At the same time that the compensation policy for the elimination of highly polluting yellow-label vehicles was successfully implemented, the government actively took measures to mobilize large domestic automobile manufacturers to carry out profit-making promotion activities.
"Next week, we will convene automobile manufacturers with a high market share of yellow label cars in Beijing for secondary mobilization, so that they can come up with a profit-making promotion plan as soon as possible and make a profit-making margin of not less than government subsidies to the majority of car owners. In November last year, during the first mobilization, some enterprises had already come up with a preliminary plan. " Li Kunsheng said, "In fact, this is also a good business opportunity for automobile manufacturers. We expect that 70% to 80% of the 350,000 vehicles will be replaced by new vehicles, which will probably bring about the consumption of nearly 280,000 new vehicles. "
"After the elimination of yellow-label vehicles this time, our company will make additional funds to purchase more than 10 energy-saving and environmentally-friendly vehicles that fully meet the national environmental protection standards." Ms. Lv Wanru said that the change from "yellow label" to "green label" is not only a sign change, but also a silent horn for the upgrading of our logistics industry, urging us to change from extensive logistics to green logistics.
