According to a comprehensive foreign news report, Germany will provide new energy vehicle buyers with a number of preferential policies such as free parking to promote the goal of millions of electric vehicles to reach the road by 2020.
New energy vehicle incentive policy refurbishment On September 24, the German Ministry of Environmental Protection issued a statement saying that the cabinet has supported a bill that will arrange for the municipality to provide free parking and use of bus lanes for new energy vehicles. Power cars, fuel cell vehicles and partially plug-in hybrids. Typical representatives are BMW i3 pure electric vehicles, Daimler Smart electric vehicles, etc., which must meet the conditions for carbon dioxide emissions of hybrid vehicles not higher than 50 g / km, or electric cruising range of more than 30 km.
German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt said: "Electric vehicles will have exclusive labels to be easily identified by everyone. With the increase in the number of optional electric vehicles, sales will climb and the number of electric vehicles on the road will continue to grow."
By 2020, the number of electric vehicles will exceed 1 million, and Germany has been sticking to this goal for many years. At the Berlin Electric Vehicle Promotion Summit held by the German government last May, Merkel reiterated this goal and said that cross-border cooperation in this field is very important. At the beginning of 2014, the number of electric vehicles in Germany was about 21,000. According to the target, it will reach nearly 50 times in 6 years.
Matthias Wissmann, president of VDA, said: "(The above measures) can promote the realization of electrified transportation." It called for relevant regulations to take effect as soon as possible and promoted nationwide to conquer consumers. It is reported that the new regulations are expected to be implemented from the first quarter of 2015.
New energy vehicles are significant. On the one hand, Germany tries to maintain its advantages in the automotive industry. On the other hand, it hopes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve environmental protection. According to statistics, transportation traffic accounts for 16% of the country's carbon dioxide emissions. In 2012, total emissions were 140 million metric tons, down from 161 million tons in 2001.
However, German consumers still have not reached a high level of heat for electric vehicles. In 2012, sales of German passenger cars totaled 3.08 million, of which less than 3,000 were electric vehicles. In 2013, the top four countries in Europe for electric vehicle sales were 28,700 in the Netherlands, 15,000 in France, 08,700 in Norway and 0.68 in Germany. Germany can only rank fourth.
In addition, the German ADAC Club conducted an investigation for 1,000 car owners. The results showed that German car owners questioned electric vehicles more than two years ago and were reluctant to purchase electric vehicles as the next car of the family.
Therefore, the German automotive industry is vigorously developing electric vehicle products to advance the goal.
According to the VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie) data, in the next three to four years, the German automotive industry will invest 12 billion euros in alternative automotive power systems, or about 15.52 billion US dollars.
Matthias Weisman pointed out: "Vehicle electrification is no longer just awkward, but a reality. There are already thousands of electric cars on the road in Germany. By the end of 2014, German car companies will have at least 17 electric cars in production and On the market, there will be another 12 listings in 2015."
