The monitoring platform for auto exhausts in six North China cities, provinces, and autonomous regions – Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, and Inner Mongolia – is under construction.

With the help of the platform, the six regions will become the first batch to realize cross-regional functions such as punishment for vehicles that exceed the auto exhausts standard, and sharing of monitoring data on auto exhausts. The illegal information will be shared every other week to implement cross-regional punishments.

One of the functions of the platform is to share auto exhaust data and the establishment of a regional auto exhausts monitoring system. By inputting auto exhaust monitoring information in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area on the internet and comprehensively applying the information, the system will evaluate the emission reduction effects of the vehicles.

Another function is cross-regional punishment. Relying on the platform, the punishment information of the vehicles in the six regions will be shared. And the vehicle will be punished by the local department according to its real-time location.

Before implementation of the platform, vehicles from other regions which exceeded exhaust standards in Tianjin were only sent back but did not get punished. But after the implementation of the platform, the environmental protection department in the place where the vehicle is registered will issue a ticket according to the local laws and regulations of the place where the vehicle exceeded the exhaust standards.

Thank to the platform, the six regions will also be able to check new automobiles in a unified way with the help of automobile markets, which will serve to punish the auto production enterprises that do not meet requirements.
