In order to encourage the transportation industry to replace large diesel vehicles and accelerate the elimination of vehicles manufactured before June 30, 1988,Environmental friendlySince last year, the Department has offered a number of subsidies, including tax reductions for large trucksnew carGoods tax of 50,000 yuan, etc. The Environmental Protection Agency announced today (3rd) that this year's low-interest credit preferential measures are expected to save more than 240,000 yuan when purchasing a new car.

Last year, the Environmental Protection Agency began to process the scrapping of Phase 1 and Phase 2 large diesel vehicles (subsidy of 50,000 to 400,000 yuan depending on vehicle weight, with an average of 200,000 yuan per vehicle); the installation of smoke filters for Phase 3 large diesel vehicles (a maximum subsidy of 150,000 yuan per set); those who replace the old large diesel vehicles of Phase 1 to 2 with new ones will receive a regular reduction of 50,000 yuan in new vehicle goods tax on large trucks. This year the Environmental Protection Agency will take action again, coordinating financial purchases and launching preferential interest rates.

Car owners can exchange for a low-pollution large truck that meets the latest emission standards with 60 installments over five years, and only need to pay an ultra-low interest rate of 1.595%. The Environmental Protection Agency stated that the application and review procedures are currently undecided, and the measures will be released as soon as September this year. By then, the total of many subsidy programs can save car owners approximately 240,000 yuan.

After the amendment to the Air Pollution Law officially came into effect today, the outside world still has doubts about the second provision of Article 36, believing that it forces the elimination of old cars that are more than 10 years old. Li Yingyuan, director of the Environmental Protection Agency, clarified that the control policy only checks for "squid trucks" and does not force the elimination of old vehicles over 10 years old. At the same time, it encourages the elimination of large diesel trucks over 19 years old to reduce pollution.

In addition, Wu Shengzhong, director of the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Protection Division, said that Article 14 of the Air Pollution Law stipulates that competent authorities at all levels may prohibit or restrict the use of transportation vehicles. This is only applicable when air quality is likely to seriously deteriorate due to weather changes or other reasons. He appealed to the outside world not to misunderstand.
