City orders scrapping of old vehicles
Print Edition
VEHICLES already banned from the streets due to their heavy emission of pollutants will have to be entirely scrapped if their owners want to keep their registration and license plate, the city announced yesterday.
Vehicle owners are instructed to hand in documents with the city’s public security authority proving that they scrapped their old vehicles, typically labeled yellow. Both registration and license plate will become invalid if the owner fails to do so until December 31, the city government said in an official notice released yesterday.
Non-compliant owners will also be banned from applying for a new license and registration as well as from applying for a license for a transportation business.
The city government also said that it would name and shame those who have failed to comply online.
Once the vehicle is scrapped, the owner can transfer the license plate and registration to a new car.
So far this year, the city took 46,100 heavily-polluting vehicles, identifiable by their yellow labels, off the streets in its latest effort to improve air quality.
About 30 percent of Shanghai’s PM2.5 — the finest known particles deemed most dangerous to human health — stem from vehicle, boat and airplane emissions, according to data provided by the government’s environment authority.
