How mercilessly polluting vehicles offered Deputy Minister of industry and trade of the Russian Federation Andrey Dementyev.
Conditional-compulsory inevitability "Maintenance of obsolete, environmentally-unsafe vehicles must become unprofitable," he said. of the Minister. What can mean only one thing: it will soon be determined that such "obsolete" and "environmentally unsafe" vehicles and their owners will tax such a tax as "dirty" cars to the press. The rank and the status of the audience approached. Minister, does not leave any doubt about the seriousness of the Ministry's intentions: the statement was made at the meeting of general and chief designers, leading specialists in the high-tech sectors of the economy (it was held in Togliatti), heard these words and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, who was in the meeting. Andrei Dementyev, deputy. Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. What does the owners of "obsolete" cars prepare for? Another disposal programme is not required: the "light" has only been completed and the "cargo" has become known and will not begin. The practice of other countries is likely to be used to replace the old one with the new one. And they are based on "convincing" taxes on non-young cars. It is necessary to accept that the prospect of conditional-forced replacement of the country's fleet is inevitable, but it is unlikely that the government will introduce a temporary regime of transport in the near future. So much is not "to eat" with the holding of the car-car disposal program has been updated to some extent (figures will be known in the spring, when HYDRA will produce the results of the annual "census"). But for sure, cars over 10 years old (the "control" age in many foreign models of the nur) remained, to put it mildly, not all of them were able to pay for the new sons, even at a discount of 50,000. Rub. for the recovered utility. And even with soft car loans. The Government would have been inconsistent if it divided the "environmental" vehicle upgrade programme into "passenger cars" and "cargo"-it is still unknown which of them polluts the atmosphere. But to impose restrictions at the same time, there is no basis for achieving the goal. If the cars are easy to change, because their production in the country and imports are growing at a reasonable pace, the market of trucks is limited and it is estimated that its development will not be able to keep up with the natural demand in the near term, it does not need to be stimulated (so the "cargo" recycling is cancelled). According to Ashot Harutyunyan, a member of the working group of the Ministry of Industry, the number of trucks over the age of 28 is 60,000, and over 20 years-hundreds of thousands. There are so many KAMAZ, the main supplier of the market, and other factories won't "digest", but to import trucks, we have slurries of import duties. It's pointless to force a purchase if the goods are in deficit. We should wait until we've got enough.
