The Ministry of Commerce stated that there is still room for adjustment in truck passenger car consumption policies


Chang Xiaocun, Director of the Department of Market System Construction of the Ministry of Commerce, stated at the special press conference that there is ample room for growth in the consumption of trucks and passengers, and there is still room for policy adjustment. The policies concerning the stimulation of truck passenger car consumption are now being studied by the relevant state agencies. As there is a month closer to the year, the nearest authorities are very concerned about the continuation of the car consumption stimulus policy, and the position of the Ministry of Commerce leaders has given an accurate reply. How to understand the room for policy adjustment mentioned by Chang Xiaocun?

Experts of the relevant truck passenger car industry interviewed by reporters yesterday said that next year, preferential policies for halving the purchase tax for emissions below 1.6 will continue to be maintained next year, while the automobile-to-country policy will be more detailed and standardized. Those who need to make greater adjustments should be car-for-trade policies. Since the cost of car traders is higher than the cost of directly selling in the second-hand market, the car owners do not actually benefit.

On the whole, the stimulus policy for truck passenger car consumption will remain unchanged in the next year, and some of the adjustments will be more detailed, appropriate, and standardized.

Divided into specific stimulus policies, such as trade-in vehicles and truck buses to the countryside, Xu Caihua believes that future policies will continue to refine and regulate. There are some problems with the old-fashioned policy of car replacement. In the process of replacing old cars with new ones, there may be illegal alterations to the cars. At the same time, the cost of recycling is higher than the cost of replacement, and it is impossible to mobilize the enthusiasm of the owners. For the problem of cars going to the countryside, the intensity of implementation may increase next year. At the same time, there are some problems in the process of implementation in rural areas. Therefore, further adjustments and refinements are needed in the future implementation process.

Since the benefit of the direct sale of the car to the second-hand market by the owner is better than the benefit of the government's trade-off procedure. It can be said that the implementation of this policy is ineffective for consumers. Therefore, it is advisable to adjust the policy to the effect that the benefits that consumers can obtain in accordance with the procedures established by the trade-in policy are greater than or equal to the second-hand prices. At the same time, the policy of car going to the countryside will be more detailed and standardized in the process of future continuation.

In fact, in response to the above issues, the regulatory authorities are already paying attention to and adjusting the relevant links that hinder the smooth implementation of the trade-in policy. It is worth noting that on the 2nd, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Transport, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued the "Circular on Strengthening the Supervision and Administration of End-of-Life Vehicles" to create a good market environment for the trade-in policy and prevent scrapping. Cars, assembled vehicles flow to society.

The question of preferential policies for reducing vehicle purchase tax by half will surely continue to be maintained next year. As this preferential policy was implemented at the beginning of this year, on the one hand, it was due to stimulate the slump in the auto consumption market at the beginning of the year. On the other hand, it is a strategic goal to respond to energy conservation and emission reduction in China. In fact, the implementation of different tax rates for cars of different displacements is a long-term policy in foreign countries. At present, China is not likely to see an increase in tax rates of more than 1.6, so to implement differentiated treatment for vehicles with displacements below 1.6, this policy will continue for the next year. It is also worth noting that the proportion of vehicles with a displacement of less than 1.6 is currently increasing, which has played an effective role in the adjustment of automobile structures and the consumption of second- and third-tier cities.

The preferential policies for small-displacement cars will be maintained next year. As small-displacement automobiles are the major trend of China's future automobile consumption, policies should be encouraged in consideration of various factors such as market capacity. And this policy is best dealt with in the long run.
