On July 3, the State Council issued the "Three-Year Action Plan to Win the Blue Sky Defence War", proposed six tasks and defined quantitative indicators and time limits for completion. The first is to adjust and optimize the industrial structure and promote the green development of the industry. The second is to speed up the adjustment of energy structure and build a clean, low-carbon and efficient energy system. The third is to actively adjust the transportation structure and develop a green transportation system. The fourth is to optimize and adjust the land structure and promote the pollution control of non-point source. The fifth is to implement major special actions to significantly reduce pollutant emissions. The sixth is to strengthen the joint prevention and control of regional joint defense and effectively respond to heavy polluted weather.
In the development of the green transportation system, the plan is to speed up the upgrading of the structure of vehicles and ships. Promote the use of new energy vehicles. In 2020, the production and sales volume of new energy vehicles will reach 2 million. Accelerate the use of new energy or clean energy vehicles for new and updated public transportation, sanitation, postal, rental, commuting, and light logistics vehicles in urban built-up areas, with 80% of key areas used; new areas such as ports, airports, and railway freight yards. Adding or replacing work vehicles mainly uses new energy or clean energy vehicles. Before the end of 2020, buses in municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capital cities, and planned urban areas will be replaced with new energy vehicles. In the logistics park, industrial park, industrial park, large-scale commercial shopping center, farmer wholesale market and other logistics distribution centers to build centralized charging piles and fast charging piles. It is convenient for new energy vehicles that undertake logistics and distribution to travel in cities. (Involved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Energy Bureau, Railway Bureau, Civil Aviation Administration, China Railway Corporation, etc.)
Vigorously eliminate old vehicles. The key areas will adopt economic compensation, restricted use, and strict over-standard emission supervision, etc., and vigorously promote the early phase-out of diesel trucks operating in the national third and lower emission standards, and speed up the elimination of old gas vehicles that use lean combustion technology and “oil to gas”. All localities have established an early phase-out update target and implementation plan for operating diesel trucks and gas vehicles. By the end of 2020, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the surrounding areas and the Sui-Ping Plain will have more than 1 million medium- and heavy-duty diesel trucks operating in the discharge standards of the National 3 and below. Beginning July 1, 2019, the key areas, the Pearl River Delta region, and the Chengdu-Chongqing region will implement the national six emission standards in advance. Promote the use of gas vehicles that meet the national six emission standards.
