At the end of July this year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection revised the definition of yellow label cars and old cars. According to the definition before the modification, the number of yellow-label vehicles in our city was 84,299, and according to the new definition, the number of yellow-label vehicles in Suzhou reached 149,845, a net increase of 65,546.
According to the new definition of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, for the yellow standard car, compared with before the modification, the elimination standard is adjusted from the original three categories to seven categories; the elimination scope is expanded to the fuel registered before July 1, 2009. The light-duty trucks of the diesel type are just over five years old, which means that some cars will face the reality of being eliminated after just five years of buying.
According to the "Jiangsu Province Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan Implementation Plan", the city will eliminate these yellow-label vehicles in the two years of 2014 and 2015. The task is very arduous. From January to August this year, the city eliminated 19,300 yellow-label vehicles (old motor vehicles). Among them, by the end of August, more than 2,500 old vehicles were eliminated through subsidy policies, and more than 13 million yuan were subsidized, including urban 1293. The vehicle was subsidized 7.879 million yuan.
Since the elimination of yellow-label vehicles is not a mandatory measure, it can only be guided in an orderly manner. Therefore, the environmental protection department proposes to extend the preferential period of the first stage of the early phase-out subsidy for old motor vehicles on the one hand, and to introduce the demonstration units that are eliminated in advance on the other hand. According to preliminary statistics, some municipal enterprises, institutions, and municipal state-owned enterprises are still using some yellow-label vehicles, mainly in gas, sanitation, municipal and other units, the number is about 300. These yellow-label vehicles can be combined with the car modification to carry out the demonstration.
At the same time, the management of the yellow label car area is strengthened. The environmental protection department proposed that on the one hand, the yellow label vehicle regional restriction policy can be incorporated into various management measures such as operation licenses and passes, and on the other hand, feasible penalties for violating regional restrictions should be formulated, and the restrictions should be eliminated.
