Official eyes electronic license plates
Print Edition
THE head of the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau yesterday called for the adoption of an electronic vehicle license plate system across the country.
Zhang Quan, the bureau’s director, made the call during a panel discussion at the annual legislative session in Beijing.
The system, which is based on radio frequency identification technology, makes it easier for authorities to recognize vehicles “at a distance,” the official said.
The technology has been on trial in the city of Wuxi, east China’s Jiangsu Province, and will also be tested in Beijing in May.
“Emissions from vehicles are one of the major contributors to air pollution,” Zhang said.
“The city government has banned locally registered heavy polluting vehicles from the roads, but it is hard to track those from outside Shanghai,” he said.
The new system will help it to identify “problem” trucks more readily, he said.
“With an electronic license plate system it will be easy to detect polluting vehicles as soon as they enter the city,” he said.
The Shanghai government will launch a coordinated campaign with other cities in the Yangtze Delta region later this year, he said.
Despite Zhang’s comments, Shanghai’s transportation authority said yesterday that it has no plans to promote the new system.
