It has been learned from the Bureau of Trade, Ningbo that departments of trade, public security, transport and three other authorities will start management of scrapped cars from this November to February, 2013. It has been stipulated that owners of scrapped cars should apply for cancellation of their registration, that companies handling scrapped cars should prevent the cars from returning back to market and that authorities should confiscate scrapped cars if they are found still on road.

This management focuses on examining companies handling scrapped cars, second-hand car markets and car maintenance companies to prevent such illegal actions as speculative reselling, assembling new cars from scrapped ones and driving scrapped and newly-assembled cars.

The departments will examine the qualifications of companies handling scrapped cars and will stop issuing business certificates if companies fail to meet the required technical standards in their recycling process. The authorities will cancel business certificates of companies that sell scrapped cars and their auto parts and of those that assemble new cars from scrapped ones.

Cars that go into the second-hand car markets will be closely checked to prevent the entry of scrapped and assembled cars through second-hand transactions. Authorities will confiscate scrapped and assembled cars once they are found in the markets and will impose punishment. The public security departments will claim criminal responsibilities against those car maintenance companies and individual business households if they are found to change the vehicle identification number and engine number.

The management will confiscate assembled or scrapped cars if they are found on road and will inflict punishment of fine and revoking driving license. The transport departments will strictly examine the entry and withdrawing of operation cars and take back operation certificates of cars that should be scrapped.
