Recently, the gas car is about to add gas tax on the Internet, many cardholders in the past two years of transportation choose to "abandon oil to gas", enjoy the dividends of the times brought by gas vehicles, but if the gas tax really lands, what will the future be? Let's listen to the story of the truck E family.
The share continues to climb and the oil and gas price differential escalates
As of April 2024, the gap between the proportion of fuel vehicles and gas vehicles off the assembly line continues to expand, from only 18.66% of gas vehicles in January 2023 to April 2024, the proportion of gas vehicles has even reached 78.42%.
The core reason for this is the difference between oil and gas, in the past statistics, we can see that the difference between the two has always remained above 3 yuan, and even reached the peak of 4.08 yuan in August last year, which is the so-called "halving", and in the latest April and May price difference, this gap began to fall, even the gas price in Xinjiang has reached 4.98 yuan, close to the price of 5 yuan, which began to shake cardholders.
Gas tax is coming? The trend or the wind?
Recently, the rumor that "gas cars will collect gas tax" has become popular in the entire truck circle, and many cardholders are earning insignificant freight, thinking that they can take advantage of the popularity of gas vehicles to quickly return to their costs, make money to support their families and take care of their wives and children.
Although there is no accurate red-headed document to prove that this policy is about to be implemented, it may only be a matter of time from the perspective of industry trends and the development of new energy; However, from the perspective of fuel cardholders, it is also possible to ridicule and joke about freight rates and the environment by fuel cardholders who have not changed their cars.
In the view of the truck E family, first of all, in the new energy sector, due to the sharp increase in the number of new energy vehicles in the past two years, the utilization rate and occupation of infrastructure continue to increase, which actually has an unfair trend towards the road maintenance costs borne by fuel vehicle owners.
Secondly, from the current macro point of view, the imposition of gas tax may have different advantages and disadvantages for environmental protection, finance, road transport industry and market innovation.
In terms of environmental protection, the introduction of gas tax may promote energy conservation and emission reduction in the transportation sector or promote a more efficient energy transition, such as pure electric light trucks, battery-swapped heavy trucks, etc.; In terms of fiscal revenue, gas taxes may be used to improve infrastructure or utilities; In terms of market innovation, it has forced car companies and parts manufacturers to carry out technological innovation and model adjustment, such as the development of more efficient gas engines.
The most important pros and cons are the impact of the industry, the brunt may further affect the daily income of cardholders, originally thinking about "abandoning oil to gas", but did not think about it but still seems to have fallen into the pit, income has not risen, but because of the relatively high purchase cost of gas vehicles, a large part of the upside down, and with the rise in gas prices, second-hand cars do not have the ability to maintain value; Looking back on 2020 and 2021, taking Yingkou in Northeast China as an example, there are even many cardholders who do not choose to leave the car in winter, and a gas car is parked in the warehouse for three months.
The second is to have a greater impact on the operating costs of logistics companies, at present, such as Shanxi and other places rich in gas resources, almost all logistics companies are purchasing gas models, and once the gas tax is added to the purchase of large quantities, it will have an impact on the cost, and then radiate to the income of the entire road transport.
Write at the end
When the gas vehicle users "hold up", the oil truck users cannot be allowed to "starve to death", and the unfair situation will inevitably have a negative impact on the industry if it lasts for a long time, and the problem of gas tax may really land in the future. What do cardholders think about this problem? Feel free to leave a message in the comment area.
