In the Ministry of Commerce repeatedly put forward "to promote the abolition of pickup trucks into the city restrictions" policy encouragement, more and more regions on the pickup truck restrictions are gradually relaxed. April 14, Jiangsu Provincial Government General Office issued "on the positive response to the impact of the epidemic to promote the consumption of back to compensate for the release of a number of initiatives", proposed that " Prefecture-level and below cities to optimize the pickup truck into the city control measures".

Although the specific measures and the degree of liberalization of Jiangsu for the lifting of the ban on pickup trucks have not been clearly defined, the first release of encouraging signals for many pickup truck enthusiasts to see the light of day, but also the Yangtze River Delta and even the East China region, there is a possibility of more relaxation of the pickup truck policy. To know, pickup trucks previously in Jiangsu even many county-level cities can not enter the urban areas, the restriction of the harsh degree of its economic development is proportional to the degree.

In fact, the acceptance and demand for pickup trucks in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are developed, should be higher. In addition to the daily demand for goods, the economic ability of residents in these places is also good, more open-minded, pickup trucks can also give full play to the attributes of the family here. At the beginning of this year, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, also relaxed the restrictions on pickup trucks into the city, Zhejiang B number plate pickup trucks can be in the center of the city of Ningbo normal traffic. Together with the Jiangsu Province to encourage the relaxation of control policies, more areas are expected to usher in the lifting of the ban on pickup trucks, and then activate the car market due to the epidemic downturn.

In recent years, pickup trucks into the city of the call, the relevant policies have been in the unbundling . Since 2016, the state launched a pilot to lift the ban, Henan, Hebei, Liaoning, Yunnan, Hubei, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has become the six provinces and municipalities to lift the restrictions on the entry of pickup trucks into the city area, Jinan and Qinhuangdao announced since June 2019 and September 2019, respectively, the abolition of restrictions on the entry of pickup trucks into the city; Tangshan, Hebei and Zhangjiakou in December 2019 also announced that the main urban area from January 1, 2020 to cancel the pickup truck entry and access restrictions in the city.

On January 20, 2020, cities such as Chongqing and Ningbo also joined the camp of lifting the ban, of which Chongqing announced on January 15, 2020 to relax the passage of pickup trucks, becoming the first municipality in China where pickup trucks can travel freely. Ningbo announced on January 16 that local pickup trucks will have the right of way for passenger cars from February 1, and on March 26, the city of Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, will allow pickup trucks that meet national standards to pass through the city.

With the increase in the number of areas where the ban has been lifted, the consumption of pickup trucks has also been injected with a "strong shot in the arm". According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), from 2016 to 2018, China's pickup truck sales grew from 370,000 to 475,000 units.In the whole year of 2019, a total of 374,000 pickup trucks were sold, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%. In addition, under the influence of the epidemic, the pickup truck market still presents a certain consumer vitality, from January to March this year, the cumulative sales of pickup trucks 69,853 units, down 38.67% year-on-year, outperforming the overall car market market, and with the control of the epidemic sales are gradually picking up.

And, since 2018, pickup truck vehicles do not have to spray the vehicle logo and enlarged license plate number on both sides of the door and cargo box tailgate railing position , the appearance of the value of the guarantee. At the same time, consumers' concept of vehicle use has also changed, pickup trucks are increasingly being used for commuting and traveling, rather than just transporting cargo. Consumers are no longer targeting diesel pickup trucks as their main purchasing goal, and gasoline pickup trucks have become a new option for many people. For this reason, many car manufacturers have also begun to actively launch gasoline pickup trucks and upgrade their original pickup models to meet the latest National VI emission standards.

I believe that under the dual stimulus of market and policy, it is only a matter of time before the full ban on pickup trucks is lifted.
