Inventory of taxi pricing methods in major cities around the world

On May 7, Beijing announced a taxi fare adjustment plan, including an increase in the starting price and the charging fee per kilometer of rental. After the new plan was announced, controversy ensued. So, how is the pricing in foreign metropolises and Hong Kong? Is the pricing method affected by other factors?

Looking at some big cities, although they will be priced by mileage, the total pricing method is different, and the whole set of pricing methods in each city is unique. Don’t believe it? Then you can read it down:

Big cities in the United States: Washington, DCThe head price must be added!

There are two types of price management in the United States, one is to set the highest rate and the lowest rate, and most places implement a fixed rate.

If you want to take a taxi in Washington, D.C., then for the first 0.2 kilometers, you need to pay a starting price of about 18.4 yuan(The local currency is converted into RMB, the same below)After that, for every additional 0.2 kilometers, an additional 1.67 yuan will be charged, and in case of traffic jams, an additional 153.6 yuan will be charged per hour.

There are additional conditions for taking a taxi in Washington. If it is a taxi, an additional 6.14 yuan can be charged for the second, third and fourth passengers, up to a maximum of 18.4 yuan. Baggage is charged an additional 3.1 yuan for each passenger space. If there is a snow day that makes the road slippery, an additional 92.2 yuan will be charged.

New York’s yellow taxis start at 15 yuan, including 0.2 miles, and charge an additional 2.4 yuan for every 0.2 miles thereafter; during peak hours (Monday to Friday from 4 to 8 pm), the surcharge is 6 yuan, and the parking and waiting hour is 144 yuan.

According to the American Taxi website, in the 26 largest cities in the United States, the most expensive for the first 5 miles (about 8 kilometers) is Boston, which costs about 100 yuan, and the cheapest are St. Louis and Chicago, which cost about 50 yuan and 53 yuan respectively.

Tokyo: What? You actually want to take a taxi? It’s expensive!

Taxi fares are notoriously expensive in Tokyo, Japan. Japanese people don’t usually take taxis until they have to. Basically, taxis start at 44 yuan, then 15.5 yuan per kilometer, and if calculated by the hour, you will be charged an additional 167.4 yuan for every hour of waiting. However, this is only the basic fare method. According to the data, passengers will pay different fares depending on the company where the taxi is located.

Tokyo Narita Airport to Tokyo City taxi fare is sometimes equivalent to a one-way ticket from Shanghai to Tokyo, and compatriots who come to Japan should not move their casual taxi habits in China. In addition to walking, here is basically a well-developed public transportation.

Hong Kong: Is it too expensive to take a taxi? Look at the color of the car!

There are three types of taxis in Hong Kong, namely "red", "green" and "blue". Of these, only the "red" can operate throughout the territory, and the other two can only operate in specific areas.

The starting fare for taxis in Hong Kong’s urban area is 15.8 yuan, and then an additional 0.8 yuan to 1.2 yuan per 200 meters will be charged depending on the length of the journey and the type of taxi color.

London: Long journey? It’s okay, I’ll just drive faster!

The London taxi fare is divided into three parts: time period, distance and time taken. The starting price is 22.8 yuan. On weekdays from 6am to 8pm, if it takes 6 to 13 minutes to cover the 1.6km distance, the minimum price must be 53.25 yuan, and the maximum price must be 83.7 yuan. But if it takes 10 to 20 minutes to cover the 3.2km distance, the price will not be stacked on a per-mile (per 1.6km) basis, but will be less than the per-mile stacking. The evening taxi fare will be higher.

London taxi pricing can be accurate to the extent planned in black and white, that is, regardless of how much time passengers actually spend on the road and how many miles they travel, according to the black and white tables in the regulations, they can check how much they should pay.

Paris: There is a minimum spend, and pets will be charged extra.

Taxi fares in Paris start at Rmb16 and are billed in two periods: during the day (7am-7pm) and at night (7pm-7am). During each period, passengers are charged in three ways: A, B and C, depending on the region in which they take the taxi.

The A price is the cheapest, suitable for driving in Paris during the day, and the fare is 4.8 yuan per kilometer; the B price is suitable for night time in Paris and during the day time in the suburbs of Paris, and the fare is 8 yuan per kilometer; the C price is the most expensive, suitable for night time in the suburbs and areas outside Greater Paris, and the fare is 12.8 yuan per kilometer. Each taxi has three small lights A, B and B on the top, which allows passengers to know the fare here and now.

In addition, there is a charging method based on time and speed: if the taxi speed is higher than the standard, the meter will be charged at 195 yuan per hour.

This is far from enough. In addition to the starting price and the mileage, taxi drivers can also charge extra for certain items, such as: at train stations, airports or places with special signs, you need to pay an additional 5.6 yuan; if there are more than 3 passengers, the 4th passenger needs to pay an additional 20 yuan; if there are pets, you need to pay an additional 4.8 yuan; if the passenger’s luggage exceeds 5kg, you need to pay an additional 7.20 yuan; if there are large items (such as sledges, bicycles, etc.), you need to pay an additional 7.20 yuan…

In addition, the most unaccustomed fee for foreign passengers is the "minimum consumption" of taxis. Although the starting price of taxis is 16 yuan, each taxi has a minimum consumption of 48 yuan.

Taxi pricing and living standards

There are many factors that determine the pricing standard of taxis in various cities, including government regulation, market demand and consumption index. If the consumption index of goods, restaurants, transportation, etc. in cities is used to measure the living standards of residents in various countries, then the cost of living in some Asian countries is even higher than that in European and American countries.

For example, among the countries and regions mentioned above, Japan has the highest consumer price index (CPI), reaching 115, the United Kingdom is 102, and the United States is 81. 77 in Hong Kong, China, and only 61 in mainland China.

Wen Jie Xin M7 belt explodes Cyrus.

Zebra consumption model construction

Huawei’s energy is once again reflected in the new M7 and Cyrus.

After the 11-day holiday, the stock price of Celeste has been trading daily for two consecutive trading days, and its market value has once again stood at 100 billion.

At present, the question before Cyrus is, how to maintain stable sales after the release of the new M7? In the longer term, it is the overall profitability of the company.

 

Old bottle and new wine

Since the beginning of this year, due to the continuous sluggish sales of the series of cars in the world, the share price of Sailis (601127.SH) has generally fallen sharply, and once fell to a low of 24.75 yuan on June 8. After that, it briefly bottomed out and then continued to fall sharply.

Until September 12th, the new M7 series in the world was officially listed, which finally added a fire to Celeste. On September 14th and 18th, the company’s share price successively won two daily limit boards. And on September 28, the last trading day before the 11 th holiday, another daily limit was used to close the first three quarters.

The new M7 is really attractive to users in terms of both product and price. On the basis of the original 6-seat version, it adds 5-seat versions, giving users more choices.

Huawei said that it has invested 500 million yuan for the new M7, and has upgraded its safety, intelligence and battery life. The functions of seat ventilation, heating, etc., which were only available on the old M7 models, have become standard in all new models.

Information from all sides shows that the new M7 is sincere to users.

More importantly, while upgrading the product and configuration, the price is cheaper than the old one. There are five configurations of the new M7 in Wenjie, with a guide price of 249,800-329,800 yuan. The starting price is lowered by 40,000 yuan compared with the old M7, and with the limited time discount of 6,000 yuan, the entry threshold becomes lower.

Then, at a time when new energy automobile products are constantly innovating and choosing more diversification, will users pay for the new M7?

As soon as the 11-day holiday was closed, Yu Chengdong, Huawei’s managing director, terminal BG CEO and chairman of smart car solutions, couldn’t wait to report good news to the outside world: "The new M7 in the world was set to hit a new high of 7,000 units on October 6; It has only been listed for 25 days, and the cumulative number has exceeded 50,000 units. "

Stimulated by this, after the holiday, A shares opened for trading, and Cyrus’ share price went up for two consecutive trading days. The company had to make an emergency announcement and give a risk warning.

It is understood that since August 28 this year, Sailis shares have increased by 110.42%. In the same period, Shenwan Automobile Index has increased by 7.28% and Shanghai Composite Index has increased by 0.36%. In fact, the company’s fundamentals have not changed significantly, so there is an obvious risk of overheating market sentiment.

 

(of a doctor) bring the dying back to life

Asked about the hot sale of the new M7 in the world, Yu Chengdong couldn’t help sighing in his circle of friends that "it’s not easy to come back to life!"

In the past, Xiaokang Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Seles) spent several years developing a new energy vehicle, named SERES Seles. In April 2019, Cyrus made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, and many people didn’t know who it was.

The following year, Sellers’ first SUV model SF5 went on the market in mass production, and only 732 vehicles were sold in the whole year.

At this time, Huawei appeared, pointing out a new path for Cyrus to build a car together.

With Huawei’s blessing, it instantly became radiant. In 2022, the product was officially released by AITO, and after deep binding with Huawei, it became the fastest growing brand of new energy vehicles.

At the beginning of the release of AITO, it set a proud record of delivering more than 10,000 vehicles for several months in a row, and delivered 75,000 vehicles in 2022.

However, since the beginning of this year, the glory of the world of inquiry has ceased.

According to the production and sales report disclosed by Sailis, in the first half of this year, the cumulative sales of Sailis Automobile (actually a series of models) was only 25,800. Among them, the sales volume of M7 is extremely bleak. According to the data of car home, the monthly sales volume of M7 has been less than 1,000 vehicles since April this year, and it was as low as 432 vehicles in June this year.

The reasons for asking the world to go away are very complicated. Tesla cut prices at the beginning of the year to compete for the market, which triggered a new wave of price cuts for new energy vehicles, which is one of the important reasons.

In the early days, the HarmonyOS cockpit carried by the asking world really won a wave of goodwill from users. However, with the increase of users and the extension of actual use time, many users find that the product strength of the world is not as strong as expected.

The outside world has always had doubts about who AITO belongs to. At the beginning of March this year, the brand official once changed the "AITO asking the world" in the relevant promotional materials to "HUAWEI asking the world", but it was quickly changed back and slapped itself, which further aggravated users’ doubts.

It is in the context of the continuous collapse of sales volume that the press launched the new M7, hoping to make a turnaround.

 

Sustained loss

Formerly known as Xiaokang Co., Ltd., Cyrus used to produce mini commercial vehicles and low-end SUVs of Dongfeng Scenery brand, and its main target users were concentrated in low-tier cities.

In the era of traditional fuel vehicles, the company’s business is not sexy, and the market attention is not high, but with its leading position in the segmentation field, the small life is still good.

In 2016, the company launched the first SUV Scenery 580, with sales exceeding 10,000 for five consecutive months. The following year, the total sales volume of the company’s SUV reached 188,600 units, which directly promoted the annual sales volume of the whole vehicle to reach the peak sales volume of 404,200 units.

It was this year that the company’s operating income exceeded 20 billion yuan, and the net profit returned to the mother also achieved the best performance in history of 725 million yuan.

However, Xiaokang shares only caught up with the brilliant last bus of fuel passenger cars. Soon, the growth rate of passenger car market in China declined to negative growth, competition shifted from incremental to stock era, resources were further concentrated in the head car enterprises, and small and medium-sized car enterprises struggled to survive.

Zhang Xinghai, the head of the company, has a forward-looking strategic vision. Under his leadership, Xiaokang invested and established SF MOTORS in the United States as early as the beginning of 2016 to build new energy vehicles.

Helpless, the car was built and could not be sold. Until the emergence of Huawei. In 2021, the company changed its name, demonstrating the determination of strategic transformation.

Cooperating with Huawei to build a car, not only the products sold well, but also the company’s share price soared due to the blessing of Huawei concept. In June last year, it once reached a historical high of 90.50 yuan, and its market value exceeded 100 billion.

With the increase of product sales, the company’s operating income has increased significantly. From 14.30 billion yuan in 2020 to 34.10 billion yuan in 2022, the loss also further increased, from-1.729 billion yuan to-3.832 billion yuan.

In the first half of this year, the company’s growth momentum came to an abrupt end, and its operating income fell by 11.14% year-on-year to 11.03 billion yuan, and it continued to lose 1.344 billion yuan.

China Evergrande announced on March 22nd that Hengchi 5 was officially mass-produced on September 16th, 2022, and the first batch of mass-produced cars was delivered on October 29th, 2022. As of the date of this announcement, Evergrande New Energy Vehicle has delivered more than 900 vehicles.

By March 2023, Evergrande New Energy had 2,795 employees, compared with 3,742 employees by June 30, 2022.

Evergrande Automobile said that the Group was at risk of production suspension if it could not obtain new liquidity.

Under this plan, the accumulated cash flow without leverage from 2023 to 2026 is expected to reach between negative 7 billion yuan and negative 5 billion yuan.

It is worth mentioning that on March 7, Evergrande New Energy Automobile Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Evergrande New Energy Automobile (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., affiliated companies of Hengchi Automobile, were executed for more than 1.04 million yuan due to bill disputes.

Ford Explorer EV officially released based on MEB platform.

A few days ago, a new compact pure electric vehicle jointly developed by Ford and Volkswagen was officially released. The vehicle was named Explorer EV, which was built on MEB platform and was the sister car of Volkswagen ID.4. The official said that the starting price of this car is expected to be 48,000 US dollars, about 330,000 yuan, and the new car will be officially delivered in early 2024.

In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car is designed in the current penetrating style, but it is not a penetrating light group. There are iconic hooked daytime running lights on both sides, and Ford’s brand LOGO is in the center of the enclosed grille. A U-shaped silver decorative strip is added to its lower enclosure, which echoes the bottom line of the enclosed grille and has a strong layering.

The suspended roof also appeared on this new car, and the C-pillar added individual decorative elements. I have to say that the design of the window line of the new car rising at the C-pillar really adds some strength to it. In addition, the style of multi-spoke two-color low wind resistance rim is also unique, which provides three sizes of 19/20/21 inches.

In terms of the rear end, the taillight style and the style surrounded by the rear echo the front of the car, which has a good sense of integrity. This car offers body colors including Arctic Blue and Vitality Blue, Frozen White, Magnetic Grey, Agate Black and Vitality Red. In terms of body size, its overall length is slightly shorter than ID.4.

For the interior, the new car uses a 15-inch Ford Sync Move central touch screen, just like the "move" in its name, which is a screen that can rise and fall. There are touch buttons on the island platform below the screen, which can control the volume and so on. The car is equipped with keyless entry, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and 10-color atmosphere lights. There is also a bright ambient light directly above the central control, which is actually a Sound Bar sound.

In terms of intelligent driving, the car is equipped with 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 cameras, etc. It is the first Ford model in Europe to provide automatic lane change function. Its other ADAS functions include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function, pre-collision assistance, intersection alarm with active braking, and Active Park Assist 2.0 parking assistance system.

In terms of power, Ford has not released too many details. The official said that Explorer EV offers rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, and the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 25 minutes in fast charging mode. The vehicle has the function of battery temperature pre-adjustment, and the charging speed, charging plan and trip planning can be optimized through the system. Ford said that users of Explorer EV can use more than 450,000 charging piles in Europe this year, and it will reach 500,000 by 2024, including more than 2,100 DC fast charging piles built by Ionity in more than 450 locations.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Kirin battery will mass-produce endurance or break thousands.

A few days ago, according to domestic media reports, Kirin battery, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s leading technology, has been mass-produced. According to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, the volume utilization rate of Kirin battery has exceeded 72%, and the energy density of ternary batteries can reach 255Wh/kg, and the energy density of lithium iron phosphate battery system can reach 160Wh/kg.

Changan UNI-K

  From the perspective of size data and brand positioning, Geely Haoyue L, Changan UNI-K and other models have formed a competitive relationship with Tiggo 9, not to mention the product of Xingyue L, which has a wheelbase exceeding that of Tiggo 9, but has lowered its price to spoil the compact SUV market. The top of these cars does not exceed 200 thousand yuan, and the configuration is very high, which is quite cost-effective, and the design style also has its own characteristics. The opponent facing Tiggo 9 is still very strong, and it needs to show some "real skills" to gain a foothold. We also expect the selling point of the new car to continue to be exposed.

■ Edit comments

  At present, Chery lacks a real flagship medium-sized SUV, and the 2710mm wheelbase of the Tiggo 8 family is slightly inferior in the medium-sized SUV, and its main sales model is about 140,000 yuan. The appearance of Tiggo 9 fills the gap of Chery’s high-end SUV and will definitely enter the higher-end market. We can see that Tiggo 9 has greatly improved in design, workmanship, materials and configuration. However, at present, the products at the same level are mainly cost-effective, so reasonable pricing is very important. Do you think Tiggo 9 can stand out in the market? Please vote or comment.

Daimler and Bosch get the unsupervised automatic parking permit to directly hit the pain point of "parking difficulty"

  Dr. Michael Hafner, head of driving technology and autonomous driving of Daimler AG, said: "As a pioneer in the field of autonomous driving, this project is ready for mass production of automatic parking service in the future." It is understood that the automatic parking service service can be realized through smart phone applications without the supervision of safety drivers.

  With the arrival of the "new four modernizations" with electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing as the core, autonomous driving has gradually become a field actively explored by the automobile industry; The increasing competition among enterprises has also promoted the spread and expansion of autonomous driving towards more subdivided fields.

  On July 23rd, Daimler and Bosch jointly reached a new milestone in the field of autonomous driving: the two companies have been approved by the relevant departments of Baden-Wü rttemberg to use the automatic parking service system in the parking lot of Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.

  "The approval of the relevant departments of Baden-Wü rttemberg has set a precedent for other parking lots around the world to be approved to provide automatic parking services in the future." Dr. Michael Hafner, head of driving technology and autonomous driving of Daimler AG, said: "As a pioneer in the field of autonomous driving, this project is ready for mass production of automatic parking service in the future."

  "This decision of the relevant departments shows that Germany has the ability to take the lead in realizing innovations such as automatic parking service." Dr. Markus Heyn, a member of the board of directors of robert bosch Co., Ltd., said: "Autopilot and automatic parking are important components of future travel. The automatic parking service system confirms the achievements we have made on this development path. "

  In fact, since the beginning of cooperation, safety has become the primary prerequisite for Daimler and Bosch to jointly develop automatic parking services. Since there was no formal approval process for the unsupervised autopilot function before, experts from the Stuttgart regional administrative department, the Baden-Wü rttemberg Ministry of Transport and the German technical inspection service TüV Rheinland jointly supervised from the beginning of the project, aiming at evaluating the operational safety of vehicles and parking lot technology.

  It is understood that the automatic parking service service can be realized through smart phone applications without the supervision of safety drivers. Parking service is the first fully-automatic unmanned parking function officially approved for daily use in the world (level L4 of automatic driving classification standard of the International Society of Automata Engineers).

  In daily life, parking is really a headache. Matthew Nimmo, chief system architect and safety manager of Bosch, said, "Statistics show that accidents caused by parking account for 40% of all traffic accidents, and AVP(Automated Valet Parking) system can effectively reduce accidents."

  Specifically, the driver will drive the vehicle into the parking lot, get off the bus, and then just click on the smart phone to send the car to the parking space-automatic parking service does not need a driver. When the driver leaves the parking lot to do business, the vehicle will automatically drive and park in the designated parking space. After that, the vehicle will return to the drop-off point in the same way. This process is based on the cooperation between Bosch’s intelligent parking infrastructure and Mercedes-Benz vehicle technology. Bosch sensors installed in the parking lot monitor the vehicle’s driving path and surrounding environment, and provide information needed to guide the vehicle. In-vehicle technology converts commands from infrastructure into driving operations. In this way, vehicles can even go up and down the ramp by themselves and move between the floors of the parking lot. Once the infrastructure sensor detects an obstacle, the vehicle will stop running immediately.

  In fact, Daimler and Bosch began to develop fully automatic parking technology in 2015; In the summer of 2017, the two sides showed the public the automatic parking service under real conditions for the first time; In September, 2018, parking service technology made its debut in China, and continued to be further tested in the China R&D Center of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.

  It is worth mentioning that in July 2018, Daimler became the first international automobile manufacturer to obtain a road test license for self-driving vehicles in Beijing. In the same month, Daimler successively renewed the letter of intent for cooperation with Tsinghua University and signed a memorandum of understanding with Baidu to strengthen strategic cooperation.

The overbearing president personally tested "NOA without a picture". Manager Wei: What I played was real!

Great Wall Motor has also begun to exert its "intelligent driving". As soon as it started, it was directly the chairman of Great Wall Motor, Wei Jianjun, who was overbearing, who personally tested the "NOA without a full picture". Great courage, direct is the whole live broadcast, no rehearsal, no editing, no filter, manager Wei: I play is real! When Mr. Wei was asked by the host: What if the live broadcast overturned? Mr. Wei calmly replied: The Internet is real, and we will actively face the rollover. Be sure to show the most authentic side of NOA’s capability boundary of the Great Wall city without map directly to the audience and let netizens evaluate it. The whole one-hour live broadcast, except for the manual takeover, was "zero takeover". Baoding represents the complex and changeable road conditions in the second and third tier cities of China, and the traffic environment is full of challenges, from the complex "six-way intersection" to the narrow streets, which puts a severe test on every movement of the intelligent driving system. The road sections include the main urban area with spacious roads in Baoding, the old city of Governor’s Office in Zhili, Baoding, Jianguo Road in Barbecue Street, and Liucha Road (the intersection of six roads with road repair), and the scenes include unexpected scenes such as unprotected left turn, automatic lane change, automatic brain repair of lane-free lines, pedestrians crossing vehicles, road rights game at complicated intersections where people and vehicles are mixed, etc., and basically include all the scenes that can be covered, including some long tail scenes. Finally, congratulations on the successful end of the live broadcast of the Great Wall’s "NOA without Pictures" and no rollover. As Wei Jianjun himself said: The Great Wall company is still relatively traditional, and it is not easy for us to say what has not been accomplished. If it is done, let the netizens evaluate it.

During the live broadcast, Chairman Wei Jianjun said: "Car safety is no small matter, and safety always comes first. We must have a more serious attitude, be more fully prepared, dare to challenge complex scenes, can’t treat users as mice, and make users feel more at ease. "

Traffic light recognition and intersection turning: accurate recognition and safe passage

The NOA of Great Wall Motor can accurately identify standard traffic lights and various non-standard traffic lights to ensure safe and reliable traffic at various intersections. The farthest recognition distance of the system reaches 150 meters. Whether it is a standard intersection or a special intersection, the success rate of steering exceeds 95%, so that vehicles can pass safely and smoothly in a complex mixed-flow environment.

Obstacle identification and flexible detour: reasonable obstacle avoidance and flexible detour.

The NOA of Great Wall Motor can not only accurately identify static obstacles, such as cone barrels and construction iron fence, but also accurately identify dynamic obstacles, such as pedestrians and non-motor vehicles. The system can flexibly adjust the driving route according to the different obstacles identified and combined with the real-time traffic conditions, and the bypass action is smooth and stable, which improves the driving safety.

Full scene lane change and lane line management: smooth merging and smooth driving.

NOA, the full scene of Great Wall Motor, provides comprehensive lane-changing support, which can realize efficient and safe lane-changing operation, with a lane-changing success rate of 98%, and can effectively reduce the risk of congestion in congested sections. In addition, even in the road section without lane lines, the system can make the vehicle run stably with its powerful lane line simulation ability.

Defining Future Driving: Intelligent Evolution from Rules to Data

The "brain" of NOA in the whole scene of Great Wall Motor originates from the SEE integrated intelligent driving model of Great Wall Motor, which realizes the link integration of perception and decision-making, and realizes the transformation from rule-driven to data-driven. The core value of the SEE integrated intelligent driving model revolves around three points: Safety, Efficiency and Experienced. SEE can constantly learn and adapt to the new driving environment, accurately deal with complex road conditions, improve driving efficiency and comfort, and truly realize the driving experience of "seeing things, seeing the road clearly and understanding people".

Great Wall Motor dared to face the public directly, and the live test of the whole scene NOA challenged the difficult road conditions, showing the industry-leading intelligent driving level to the outside world. At the same time, as Chairman Wei Jianjun emphasized, Great Wall Motor adheres to the safety bottom line, treats every technological innovation with a serious and pragmatic attitude, and brings a safe, convenient and humanized intelligent driving experience to every user.

Hundreds of millions of idle phones have a regular recovery rate of less than 2%. Where did your old mobile phone go?

      Xinhua News Agency, Guangzhou, November 21st Question: The regular recovery rate is less than 2%, and some of them are resold with old ones — — Where did your old mobile phone go?

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Ma Xiaocheng and Sun Fei

  "These are old mobile phones that my family and I have eliminated in recent years." Zhang Li, who lives in Futian District, Shenzhen, pointed to nearly ten old mobile phones of different brands and models at home.

  A survey by Xinhua Viewpoint reporter found that at present, there are hundreds of millions of idle mobile phones in China, and the formal recovery rate is less than 2%. Where is the "home" of the old mobile phone?

  There are hundreds of millions of idle mobile phones in stock, and a waste battery of a mobile phone can pollute 3200 barrels of standard bottled water.

  Zhang Li is a post-80s generation who pursues fashion. "Now the mobile phone is upgrading too fast. I have to change a new mobile phone in an average year or so." She said that the disposal of old mobile phones is a difficult problem. "Old mobile phones store a lot of personal information and dare not throw it away at will."

  According to data released by China Information and Communication Research Institute, in 2016, China’s domestic mobile phone market shipped 560 million units, an increase of 8% year-on-year. Xiong Zhou, a partner in recycling treasure who is engaged in mobile phone recycling business, estimates that China produces at least 400 million idle mobile phones every year, and the stock of idle mobile phones is about 1 billion. Zheng Fujiang, president of Ai Recycling, said that there is no authoritative statistics on the data of idle mobile phones in the industry at present, but it is at least hundreds of millions.

  "How to effectively deal with the huge amount of used mobile phones needs urgent attention." Xiong Zhou said.

  Official website, a mobile phone trade-in, shows that once the mobile phone enters the scrap recycling link, the treatment of heavy metals such as gold, mercury, lead and cadmium is very difficult to control. The cadmium contained in a battery can pollute 60,000 liters of water, which is equivalent to 3,200 barrels of standard bottled water used in daily drinking fountains.

  Wen Zongguo, director of Tsinghua University Circular Economy Industry Research Center, said that mobile phones are a huge pollution source. If idle mobile phones enter the garbage system, they will generate toxic gases when burned, and the soil will be seriously polluted when buried. If it is sent to some unqualified small workshops for treatment, it will bring great harm to the body and environment of the dismantler.

  The regular recovery rate is less than 2%, and many mobile phones are resold with old ones.

  Many people in the industry said that the formal recovery rate of domestic mobile phones is less than 2%. Love recycling is the official partner of many mobile phone brands and JD.COM. Zheng Yujiang, president of the company, said that taking love recycling as an example, real-name registration should be carried out when collecting mobile phones to confirm that the source is legal and formal; After receiving the mobile phones, they will be classified. Those in good condition will be cleaned up, and then they will be hung on channels such as JD.COM Youpin to mark the second-hand mobile phones for sale. Those that cannot be reused will be handed over to enterprises with environmental protection qualifications for dismantling.

  However, the reporter’s investigation found that there are a large number of gray trading behaviors outside the formal recycling channels.

  -recycling. In Zhongguancun, Beijing, Tianhe Computer City, Guangzhou and Huaqiang North, Shenzhen, there are many shops and individuals who claim that they can recycle their mobile phones at high prices. In Huaqiang North, the reporter asked several shops with an Apple 6 mobile phone that had been used for three years. After confirming that the mobile phone was in good condition, the other party said that they could buy it, and the prices ranged from 700 yuan to 900 yuan, without any identity registration. When the reporter asked whether the mobile phone data would be cleaned up, the shopkeepers did not give a positive answer. Some shopkeepers asked, "Is your data valuable to others?"

  -circulation. According to the survey, some recycled old mobile phones will re-enter the market. Feiyang Times Building, located in Huaqiang North, is one of the second-hand mobile phone distribution centers. From two o’clock in the afternoon to six o’clock, people are coming and going here. Mr. Lin Yue, who has been engaged in mobile phone recycling business for more than ten years, said that all Apple mobile phones recovered from various channels come to this market to find their next homes. Some of them are resold as second-hand mobile phones, and some people secretly do renovations, and then resell the old ones with new ones to reap huge profits.

  In May last year, Mr. Deng bought an Apple mobile phone in a communication equipment store in houjie town, Dongguan. After purchasing it for more than two months, he found that the warranty period of the mobile phone was about to expire. After mediation by Dongguan Consumer Council, the merchant admitted that the mobile phone was a refurbished mobile phone. Mai Huixian, deputy director of the Dongguan Consumer Council, said that among the consumer complaints received last year, the most complaints were about mobile communication, focusing on unscrupulous merchants selling refurbished machines without telling consumers.

  -disassembly. Second-hand mobile phones with no use value will eventually be dismantled into various spare parts. In the past, many mobile phones were dismantled in an irregular workshop in Guiyu Town, Shantou, Guangdong Province, which caused serious environmental pollution. In recent years, the dismantling here has to be completed in the circular industrial park and supervised.

  A person in charge of a company responsible for dismantling mobile phones told reporters that their company can handle 20,000 mobile phones a day. After three or four processes, a scrapped mobile phone will be disassembled into plastic, stainless steel, camera, motherboard and other small accessories, and then sold to specialized manufacturers for processing. However, due to the high cost of dismantling to meet environmental standards, many small workshops are illegally engaged in dismantling.

  Strictly crack down on illegal renovation and sale, and introduce policies to encourage recycling.

  In the eyes of the industry, there are still many difficulties in recycling used mobile phones. On the one hand, it is necessary to create a good market order so that mobile phones that can be reused can be reused. For those that cannot be recycled, we should increase support for formal dismantling enterprises and reduce the industrial space for illegal dismantling.

  Ge Jian, a 360 mobile guardian security expert, suggested that citizens’ information security should be protected through legislation to avoid worries of consumers. Zheng Yujiang suggested that public security and other relevant departments should intensify their efforts to crack down on the gray recycling industry chain, especially to crack down on illegal renovation and sale, illegal stealing of user privacy from mobile phones and illegal random disassembly.

  Many people in the industry said that in developed countries, it is customary for mobile phones to be produced, recycled and disposed of. Mobile phones account for a large proportion of sales through operators and other channels. When consumers buy new machines, many old mobile phones are recycled at the same time. In our country, the behavior of enterprises recycling consumers’ mobile phones has not yet formed.

  Xiong Zhou said that the new edition of the Catalogue for Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products in 2016 included mobile phones, which means that mobile phone recycling will be included in the management scope supported by national policies and funds, but the specific rules have not yet been issued. He suggested that the subsidy rules for dismantling and processing of used mobile phones should be issued as soon as possible.
