Accelerating the elimination of high-emission yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles is one of the important contents of air pollution prevention and control.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Commerce and other six ministries and commissions prepared and issued the "2014 Yellow Label Vehicles and Old Cars Elimination Work Implementation Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Program"), aimed at smooth In 2014, the State Council issued a total of 6 million vehicles for the elimination of yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that the "Proposal" will increase the supervision of yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles, increase the cost of using yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles, promote the elimination through market means, and promote the elimination through subsidies. Eliminate work.
In this regard, Yue Xin, an associate researcher at the Research Institute of Mobile Source Pollution Control of the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences, told the reporter of the Daily Economic News that the elimination of the cost of use is better and more flexible than the administrative mandatory elimination.
According to the person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the yellow label vehicle refers to the gasoline vehicle with the emission level lower than the national one emission standard and the diesel vehicle with the national emission standard. The old vehicle refers to the current situation. Vehicles with national fourth-stage emission standards are vehicles that have been used for a long time and have poor pollution control levels.
By the end of 2013, there were more than 13 million yellow-label vehicles in the country, accounting for about 10% of the car ownership. The pollutants emitted accounted for about 50% of the total pollutant emissions. Therefore, accelerating the elimination of yellow-label cars and old cars is an important measure to improve the city's air quality.
In the "target task", the "Program" pointed out that the "Government Work Report" reviewed and approved at the Second Session of the 12th National People's Congress proposed to eliminate 6 million yellow-label cars and old cars by the end of 2014; by 2017, the basics Eliminate the yellow label car nationwide.
For the 6 million vehicle elimination tasks this year, the above-mentioned person in charge said that it has been decomposed and implemented in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). In order to ensure the completion of the task of eliminating the work, the “Proposal” “encourages renewal and restriction of use” for non-operating high-pollution vehicles, and “recycles and strengthens supervision on schedule” for highly polluting vehicles.
Yue Xin believes that it is more advantageous to carry out environmental protection work through a more flexible approach to the promotion of yellow label vehicles and old vehicles.
In addition, the “Proposal” has increased the supervision of yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles, increased the use cost of yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles, promoted elimination through market means, and promoted the elimination work through subsidies to promote elimination.
The “Program” emphasizes that before the end of October 2014, cities in prefecture-level and above cities will complete the work of limiting the number of yellow-label vehicles and prohibiting the implementation of the area; before the end of 2014, the implementation of the restricted-line regional yellow-label vehicles will be restricted to the time limit, and the core areas of the city will be banned throughout the day. OK; before the end of June 2015, all cities at the prefecture level and above will be allowed to operate and prohibit the yellow label.
In this year, Hebei eliminated 660,000 yellow-label vehicles from the yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles that were allocated to various provinces and cities. The top five areas with relatively heavy elimination tasks this year were Hebei, Guangdong, Shandong, Beijing and Liaoning. The tasks are: 660,000, 493,000, 428,000, 391,000 and 349,000.
The "Proposal" requires that local people's governments at all levels should bear the overall responsibility for the elimination of yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles. It is necessary to formulate a phase-out plan and introduce corresponding measures to incorporate the completion of the yellow-label vehicles and old-fashioned vehicles into air pollution prevention and control. Action Plan assessment.
At the same time, the "Program" emphasizes that the progress of the elimination of yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles will be scheduled monthly, and the provinces with delayed progress will be notified.
In fact, in September this year, Beijing issued a document to raise the old vehicle subsidy standard and accelerate the elimination. On the basis of the subsidy of 6,000 yuan per vehicle as stipulated in the current plan, the vehicle will increase the subsidy amount of 3,000 yuan, and the maximum increase of the subsidy amount will reach 5,000 yuan.
In addition, in the "guarantee measures", the "Program" emphasizes speeding up the revision of the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law" and further improving the various systems for motor vehicle pollution prevention and control.
