Local governments further depress demand by limiting distribution of license plates and charging exorbitant fees for their issue, according to an official at the Shanghai Auto Industry Sales General Co.
【B6】______ , but must bid at auctions held by the Public Security Bureau to get one for any other model.
The latter licenses, issued only occasionally in small batches, regularly go for 100,000 yuan, the official said.
"Of course no producer wants to see such high license fees," he said, adding that the city government uses them to prevent traffic congestion and control air pollution.
