Long Ziming: Suppressing Private Car Growth

How to solve the problem of urban congestion has become the focus of the two sessions in recent years. Accompanying the increasingly severe developments, many management measures such as buses and private cars have become increasingly clear.

On March 7, CPPCC members and senior regional director of Hongli Financial Long Ziming told the “International Financial News” reporter that China should reverse the rapid growth of private car ownership on the policy front. The relevant departments are summing up lessons learned. On the basis of this, we should carry out a comprehensive clean-up, reform, improvement, and improvement of private car consumption policies and car taxes. At the same time, policies and measures to restrict the rapid development of private cars and increase the travel cost of private cars in the cities should be studied. Through the use of administrative and economic methods, various types of transport modes should be actively and reasonably guided.

Long Ziming stated that it is necessary to increase the cost of car purchases and to suppress the demand for private cars by collecting congestion fees, sewage charges, and environmental taxes. Proper implementation of time, area and road restrictions on private cars. To indirectly control the growth of private cars by means of vigorously developing public transportation.

It is reported that in the past five years, the average annual growth rate of private cars in China has reached 32%, and China has become the world's most frequent private car use country. The rapid development of private cars also brings many negative problems such as urban traffic jams, environmental pollution, and energy shortages.

In addition to restraint measures, Long Ziming also suggested that the new energy automotive industry policy should focus on breaking through the key core technologies in the field of power batteries, drive motors, and electronic control, and promote the popularization, application and industrialization of plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles. The relevant departments must speed up the formulation of relevant policies and measures to guide and encourage consumers to purchase and use private cars that are low in energy consumption, low in pollution, small in displacement, new in energy, and powered by new ones.
