A preliminary version of the program to combat air pollution in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province in 2017 involves the transfer of a taxi in Beijing for electricity. It is reported by financial newspaper National Business Daily.
Could this apparent anthropogenic air pollution, which at high levels can be dangerous for the elderly and people with heart disease, diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract. The problem of smog for Beijing relevant, in 2015 he was first assigned to the red level of danger — December 22 air pollution in 25 times has exceeded the limit the norm set by the world health organization.
According to published information, all new taxis in Beijing starting this year needs to be electric. In the city operated about 70 thousand cars a taxi and full replacement of the fleet, according to preliminary estimates, will cost nine billion yuan (about 1.3 billion dollars). According to the Secretary-General of China Association of passenger vehicles, the best effect will be given in conjunction with the increase in the number of charging stations in Beijing.
As noted by NBD, the cars are on average two times more expensive than cars of the same class with internal combustion engines. However, the procedure of transition to electric vehicles will stimulate their production. The authorities expect that the rejection of a taxi on fossil fuels will improve air pollution, but the exact figures of projected improvements is not reported. It is worth noting that the main cause of air pollution in China’s factories, not vehicles, so the replacement of the 70 thousand cars on electric vehicles, is not likely to lead to the clearly expressed effect.
Earlier, the visit to Beijing was inspired by a Dutch designer Dan Regarde on the creation of a giant air filter for the urban environment. In 2015, he presented The Smog Free Project is a seven — meter filter that cleans 30 thousand cubic meters of air per hour, and filtered from the air particles, the project team offered to do jewelry.
