Conditional Inevitability
"The operation of obsolete, environmentally unsafe machines should become unprofitable, " the deputy quotes Wolga News. Minister. What can mean only one thing: soon a definition will be given of what are “obsolete” and “environmentally unsafe” cars and they will be imposed such a tax on their owners that it will be more profitable to put “dirty” cars under the press.
The rank and status of the audience to which the deputy addressed. Minister, there is no doubt about the seriousness of the ministry’s intentions: the statement was made at a meeting of general and chief designers, leading experts in the high-tech sectors of the economy (it took place in Tolyatti), Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, who led the meeting, heard these words.

What should owners of "obsolete" cars get ready for? There is no need to wait for another recycling program: the "passenger" has only just ended, and the "cargo", as it became known, will not start. To compel us to replace the old with the new, we are most likely to use the practices of other countries. And they are based on "convincing" taxes on older cars.
We must come to terms with the fact that the prospect of conditionally forced replacement of the country's fleet is inevitable (we’ll destroy ourselves), but it is unlikely that the government will introduce a temporary regime for owning transport in the near future.
Do not eat so much
With the implementation of the auto-trash recycling program, the car fleet has been updated to some extent (we will find out the numbers in the spring when the traffic police will give the results of the annual automobile “census”). But surely there are a lot of cars older than 10 years (the “control” age in many foreign models of compulsion), to put it mildly - far from everyone was able to pay for novye even at a discount of 50 thousand rubles. for the scrap delivered. And even with preferential car loans.

The government would have acted inconsistently if it had divided the program of “environmental” renewal of vehicles into “passenger” and “freight” - it is still unknown which one pollutes the atmosphere more. But for the simultaneous introduction of restrictions for both, there is no basis for achieving the goal.
