Guangzhou to stop "measures" to introduce congestion tax limit on the car

The city of Guangzhou launched the solicitation advice in January. Last Monday, the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government Information Office officially announced the official content of the "Measures." In the plan, the policy of worrying car dealers, such as “no longer adding official vehicle indicators,” “restricting car registration,” “opening congestion charges,” was deleted.

The plan mentions: "Beginning in 2012, we will further promote the policy of discriminating parking fees and increase the efficiency of the use of parking spaces." This raises the concerns of self-owned brand car dealers and A 0 car operators: the cost of car ownership in future cities. It will be further promoted. Affected by this, some vehicle owners will abandon the purchase plan and the auto consumption structure will be “adjusted”.

The policy of restricting purchases will no longer be introduced in the recent past. In December of last year, Beijing Municipality resorted to the most severe blockage plan in history. Since then, only 20,000 license plates have been issued in the month. Many car dealers withdrew from the capital in the first half of this year. After the “Consultation Draft” on governance in Guangzhou was released in January, Sui car dealers were very worried that Guangzhou had also adopted a similar decision in Beijing. The "Measures" introduced this time did not mention any policy that restricts the number of cars on the cards. Everyone was relieved.

A Chen Xing sales manager of FAW Toyota believes that this blocking solution will eliminate the positive and negative effects of the original consultation draft on the auto market: the purchase restriction policy is bad news, but single and double number travel will cause some owners to purchase a second vehicle. According to the original draft, "by 2015, the city's party and government agencies at all levels and full-funded institutions will no longer increase official vehicle quotas," and "measures" merely indicate that the official vehicles are strictly regulated. Management, car dealership sales and after-sales maintenance business will not be affected; this congestion control program does not talk about congestion charges, it will not increase the burden on car owners.

Several self-owned brands of car dealers working in Baiyun and Panyu believe that although the “Measures” mentioned that “public transport accounts for 65% of the motorized trips by 2015,” there is no clear proposal for the construction of public transport and railway networks. With regard to planning, suburban users' travel convenience still cannot be improved. For these consumers, private cars are still the most convenient public transportation in the suburbs, and the purchasing power of the recent auto market will not be affected.

In July of this year, reporters from the Southern Metropolitan Department have learned from sources that the rapid development of the Chinese auto market in previous years has resulted in a number of unresolved traffic problems in a number of cities. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have reached a consensus and will no longer be stimulated this year. The automobile consumption policy; however, considering that the purchase restriction policy has brought about a significant negative effect on the development of the automobile market, several ministries and commissions have decided to discuss, at the appropriate time, the opportunity to remind the local governments to treat purchase restriction orders with caution in the spirit of meetings or notifications.

In July, the purchase restriction order issued by Guiyang was also considered by the Development and Reform Commission as inconsistent with the “Regulations for the Adjustment and Revitalization of the Automobile Industry”.

Increasing the cost of keeping the car is a trend From the perspective of the initiatives of various cities, raising the cost of keeping a car is considered to be a chess piece that regulates the growth rhythm of the car market. The "Measures" issued by Guangzhou mentioned that "starting in 2012, we will further promote the policy of discriminating parking fees and increase the efficiency of the use of parking spaces." In the future, the cost of raising cars in Guangzhou will be increased.

This will have an impact on the consumption structure of automobiles. The owners of economic vehicles, especially self-owned brands and class A hatchbacks, are more sensitive to changes in car costs. According to car dealers' forecasts, once the parking fees increase, these two market segments Some of the people in the group will directly abandon the car purchase plan, while others will consider buying higher-priced mid-size cars. Nandu reporter learned that since the beginning of this year, the continuous rise in oil prices and the expectation of rising oil prices have caused consumers to hesitate to purchase this part of the model.

In addition, according to car dealers, in the current trend of increasing purchases, car owners who add a mid-size car to their families account for more than 20% of the additional purchasers. The increase in the cost of keeping cars will also make these families abandon their car purchase plans. There is already an Accord [review picture forum] and Mr. Li who plans to buy a Corolla [summary picture forum] for his wife at the end of the year told the Southern Reporter that if the parking fees increase in the future, he would consider letting his wife go out and continue playing. “The parking fee is about 800 yuan a month now. If you increase it in the future, then just spending on parking is enough to fight. It's too expensive to buy a car!”
