CCTV News:According to the website of the Ministry of Public Security, on December 1, the Ministry of Public Security will take the lead in piloting new energy vehicle number plates in five cities: Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi, Jinan and Shenzhen. On November 21, the relevant person in charge of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security made an interpretation on the pilot implementation of the new energy vehicle number plate.
oneWhy should the new energy vehicle number plate be activated? What is the background and significance?
In July 2014, the General Office of the State Council issued "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles", demanding that the promotion and application of new energy vehicles be accelerated, effectively alleviating the pressure on energy and environment, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry. In recent years, the number of new energy vehicles in China has increased rapidly. By the end of October 2016, the number of pure electric vehicles in China had reached 555,500.
In order to implement the State Council’s policy of differentiated traffic management for new energy vehicles, and better promote the development of new energy vehicles, the Ministry of Public Security decided to pilot the use of special license plates for new energy vehicles. On the one hand, it can distinguish and identify new energy vehicles more effectively and conveniently, implement differentiated traffic management policies, and provide a better carrier for new energy vehicles, travel services, tax concessions, etc. On the other hand, it can reflect the characteristics of new energy vehicles more clearly and directly, and promote the accelerated development of new energy vehicles.
In order to actively and steadily do a good job in the activation of new energy vehicle license plates, the Ministry of Public Security has adopted a pilot first and gradually pushed it forward, and fully implemented it after exploring and accumulating experience. Starting from December 1, 2016, five cities, namely Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi, Jinan and Shenzhen, will take the lead in piloting new energy vehicle number plates.
2What is the style of the new energy vehicle number plate? What are the characteristics?
In order to protect the public’s right to know and participate, and to gather the wisdom consensus from all walks of life, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security organized a multi-channel, multi-form and multi-level consultation activity on the number plate style from April to May, 2016. Public comments were solicited online, and online voting activities were organized. A total of 145,400 people participated in the voting activities and 110,000 online messages were left. Simultaneously solicited the opinions of relevant departments and industry enterprises, and organized relevant professionals to conduct in-depth discussions and systematic argumentation. According to the online voting and soliciting opinions, the style with the highest vote rate is finally selected as the new energy vehicle number plate style.

The outer dimension of the new energy vehicle number plate is 480mm×140mm, and the length of the number plate is 40mm longer than that of the ordinary number plate, in which the width of the rear number plate of the large new energy vehicle is reduced by 80 mm.. Compared with ordinary car number plates, there are four main changes in appearance and style: First, it highlights green elements and embodies distinctive features. The background color of the new energy vehicle number plate is mainly green, which highlights the meaning of green environmental protection. The brand-new number plate font is adopted, and the overall style is beautiful, novel and distinctive, which is convenient for accurate identification and obvious identification in service management. The second is to add a special logo to show the electric characteristics. Add a special logo for the number plate of new energy vehicles to the number plate style. The overall logo is green, which means electric and new energy. In the green circle, the right side is an electric plug pattern, and the left color part is similar to the English letter "E" (electric). Third, the number plate number is upgraded to increase the number plate capacity. Compared with ordinary car number plates, the number plate of new energy vehicles has been upgraded from 5 to 6, for example, the original "Guangdong BD1234" can be upgraded to "Guangdong BD12345". After upgrading, the number plate number capacity is increased, the resources are richer, and the coding rules are more scientific and reasonable, which can meet the arrangement needs of "less letters and more numbers". The fourth is to implement number plate segmentation to facilitate difference management. In order to better implement the national new energy automobile industry development and differentiated management policy,New energy vehicle number plates are managed by sections according to different vehicle types. The letter "D" stands for pure electric vehicles and the letter "F" stands for non-pure electric vehicles (including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles). The "D" or "F" in a small car number plate is located at the first place in the number plate, and the "D" or "F" in a large car number plate is located at the last place in the number plate. The fifth is to improve the manufacturing process and improve the anti-counterfeiting performance. Using pollution-free hot stamping production method, the process is green and environmentally friendly. At the same time, anti-counterfeiting technologies such as two-dimensional bar code, anti-counterfeiting shading and laser pattern are added to realize the uniqueness of the number plate and the traceability of the production source, and improve the anti-counterfeiting performance.
threeWhich cars belong to new energy vehicles, and how to apply for new energy vehicle number plates?
According to the State Council’s Industrial Development Plan for Energy Saving and New Energy Vehicles (2012-2020), new energy vehicles mainly include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. For domestic new energy vehicles, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will mark them on the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products and the Factory Certificate of Motor Vehicles. For imported new energy vehicles, AQSIQ will mark them on the On-board Inspection Sheet for Imported Motor Vehicles. When the public security traffic control department handles the registration of new energy vehicles, it will strictly check and confirm the vehicles, check the information marked by the competent authorities, review the relevant certificates, and register in accordance with the law.
For newly purchased new energy vehicles, if they are registered in five pilot cities, they can directly apply to the local public security traffic control department for a special number plate for new energy vehicles; Those who apply for registration outside the pilot area will still apply for ordinary car number plates in accordance with the original provisions. The conditions, procedures and requirements for APPlying for a new energy vehicle number plate are the same as those for an ordinary vehicle number plate. The owner can directly register with the public security traffic control department of the pilot city, or pre-select the number plate through the Internet traffic safety integrated service management platform or the 12123 mobile app, and then register with the public security traffic control department. When selecting the number, the number plate can be automatically selected by the computer (1 out of 50) or arranged by itself according to the coding rules.
fourCan new energy vehicles that have already received ordinary car number plates be redeemed for new number plates? How to apply for renewal?
For new energy vehicles that have received ordinary car number plates, the owners can voluntarily renew the new energy car number plates or continue to use the original ordinary car number plates. However, if the original ordinary car number plate is lost or damaged, the public security traffic control department will issue a new energy car number plate. For those who choose to continue to use ordinary car number plates, the public security traffic control department will conduct differentiated management through the information system, which will not affect the owners’ enjoyment of preferential policies for traffic management of new energy vehicles.
At the beginning of the New Deal, there was a great demand for the masses to renew the new number plates in a centralized way. In order to avoid the crowded queue caused by centralized license plate replacement, the pilot cities provided an appointment service through the Internet traffic safety integrated service management platform, and car owners could make an appointment for the place and time of license plate replacement according to their own conditions. The first step is to register or log on to the traffic safety integrated service management platform (www.122.gov.cn). Step 2, select the license plate number on the Internet service platform by computer automatic selection (1 out of 50), and make an appointment for the time and place to renew the license plate. The third step is to handle the card changing business according to the time and place of online reservation.
For the new energy vehicle transfer registration, the public security traffic control department of the pilot city will renew the new energy vehicle number plate. For new energy vehicles transferred from other places to pilot cities, which belong to the four pilot provinces of Shanghai, Shandong, Jiangsu and Guangdong, the public security traffic control department of the pilot city will issue new energy vehicle number plates; For non-pilot provinces, new energy vehicle number plates will not be issued for the time being.
fiveWhat service measures will be provided by the public security traffic control department of the pilot city in the issuance of new energy vehicle license plates?
The public security traffic control departments in the pilot cities will provide various service measures for applicants who apply for new energy vehicle license plates: First, open a green channel or special window for new energy vehicle license plate business, increase police force, add inspection sites, and provide delayed or Saturday and Sunday license change services. The second is to provide two service modes, namely, making number plates on the spot and mailing number plates, for the masses to choose, and to announce the registration service sites that can make number plates on the spot through various media, so as to facilitate the masses to receive number plates quickly. The third is to open a service consultation telephone to provide consultation and guidance services for the masses. By sending SMS, WeChat and other means, the registered owners of new energy vehicles will be informed one-on-one, prompting the way and requirements for renewing the license plate. The fourth is to provide on-site free license plate installation service, optimize the layout of on-site production points and installation points of license plates, and facilitate the people to collect the installation license plates nearby. Fifth, enterprises with a large number of new energy vehicles, such as buses and taxi companies, can contact the public security traffic control departments of pilot cities in advance to negotiate and determine the centralized license change.
It should be noted that the new energy vehicle license plate fee remains unchanged, and the current national charging standard for ordinary vehicle license plates is still implemented, and each license plate is 100 yuan. It is consistent with the charging standard of ordinary car number plates.
sixWhat supporting measures are there to ensure the smooth development of the pilot work?
In order to do a good job in the pilot work of new energy vehicle license plates, first, the Ministry of Public Security specially issued a pilot work plan, organized the upgrading of the information management system, equipped with special production equipment for new license plates, and organized special business training. Second, the public security traffic control departments of pilot cities will simultaneously launch a unified motor vehicle number plate selection system to ensure the open, fair and just issuance of number plates. Third, closely cooperate with relevant departments and units to upgrade and transform related information systems such as insurance purchase, highway toll collection, vehicle inspection and parking toll collection, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the pilot work.
According to the State Council’s Industrial Development Plan for Energy Saving and New Energy Vehicles (2012-2020), new energy vehicles mainly include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. By 2020, the cumulative production and sales of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles will exceed 5 million. In the next step, on the basis of pilot projects, we will constantly sum up experience and practices, gradually expand the scope of application, and strive to promote its use throughout the country in the second half of 2017.
