How to properly dispose of OBD on trucks after the State Council’s exposure？
[Truck House Original] This year’s major events in the freight industry have continued. In addition to elimination, what everyone recently discussed is that the national five diesel trucks should be installed.On-line monitoring equipment(OBD) thing. But in some places,Forcing truck drivers to install at their own expenseOBDThe Chinese government network subsequently exposed this incident.
Recently, the official website of the Chinese government issued a document to inform about the supervision of the compulsory installation of remote online monitoring equipment by truck drivers in Xingtai City, Hebei Province.
The investigation by the inspection team shows that:
1. Longyao County will install OBD as a heavy-duty diesel vehicle.Preconditions for the inspection of operating vehicles, require heavy diesel fleet or owners to provide OBD installation receipts and certificates of relevant companies before they can apply for operating licenses.
2. Xingtai Eco-environmental Protection Bureau designated 9 operators to install OBD services, and the installation cost of each set of equipment.From 1600 yuan to 2650 yuan.And the charge management is not standardized.No invoice will be provided after charging.. By October 16th, the above nine operators had installed OBD for 25,247 trucks, with a charge of 39,615,400 yuan.
Before the State Council’s exposure, the installation of OBD on trucks was always a hot topic of dispute among card friends. Before that, the author wrote an article (Review: Is OBD installed on trucks for fines? Don’t be silly, these questions are the focus), and wrote some questions about the current card friends.
Generally speaking, there are two parts that are most controversial about the installation of OBD.One is the problem of charging mentioned above, and the other is whether it is legal for some places to force truck drivers to install OBD at their own expense by using annual inspection and new car licensing as preconditions.
● Is there a standard for installing OBD with a price difference of nearly 2000 yuan?
At present, Shanghai, Shandong Liaocheng, Weifang and many other places require the diesel trucks of National 4 or National 5 to be equipped with OBD, but they are all free, although there is a time limit for free. But in Henan, trucks must be equipped with OBD equipment, and different places charge different fees.
fromLuohe City Eco-environment Bureau announced earlier.According to the information of the vehicle-mounted terminal construction enterprise for remote online monitoring of OBD in Heshi, the price of installing OBD is mostly 1420 yuan.
However, a card friend left a message saying that the price of installation in each place is different.About 1000-3000 yuan, which means that the price difference between high and low is about 2000 yuan.This money is not a small expense for card friends, and it may be a family’s monthly expenses.
Why do the charges vary from place to place? Why is the price difference of OBD installation so big? Are there any relevant laws and regulations that explain the charges? These are all concerns of truck owners.
● Do not force drivers to install OBD in some places where the annual review and new car registration are blocked.
In addition to charging, the reason why truck owners are most resistant to installing OBD is that in some places, drivers are forced to install OBD at their own expense with various preconditions, such as no annual inspection, no new car license and no road transport certificate, and the general self-funded expenses are not low.
The following are some card friends’ messages:
In addition, a letter sent to the owner by Puyang City Ecological Environment Bureau also made it clear."Vehicles that are dismantled, modified and not required to install and use OBD will not be able to be examined annually."
We all know that 2020 is a crucial year to win the blue sky defense war. Therefore, in terms of vehicle exhaust emissions, the state has increased its control. Therefore, it is understandable that the state requires vehicles to be equipped with OBD, so as to monitor illegal vehicles and reduce environmental pollution.
But it should be noted that some placesIs there any legal and regulatory basis for forcing truck drivers to install OBD at their own expense, based on annual inspection, licensing of new cars and not being allowed to go on the road?Otherwise, just a word and a document from the relevant departments will make all truck drivers pay a large sum of money to install OBD, so that everyone will be willing to install it.
As we can see, the freight chaos in Xingtai exposed by the State Council involves the problems of charging, charging without invoicing and forcing drivers to install OBD at their own expense with preconditions, which has shown that the state is not allowed to do this.
● Postscript
The freight chaos in Xingtai has been exposed in the State Council, and the problem of local truck owners has been solved. However, there are still many restrictions on the installation of OBD in trucks in many places in China. Can the exposure of the State Council be a warning to other places? (Text/Gao Li Min)
