New energy vehicle incentives are expected to adjust or increase subsidies for hybrid vehicles

A hybrid electric vehicle that was once deserted by policy may be re-raised with "encouraged" weights.

“In the future, the country will issue a full set of policies on energy-saving and new energy vehicles. Do not use existing policies to speculate that the government only supports pure electric vehicles and does not support hybrid vehicles. This is misreading.” In the recent China Association of Automobile Manufacturers At the information release, Dong Yang, executive vice chairman and secretary general of the China Automobile Industry Association, said.

The strong policy signal was released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, which means that the country has changed its promotion strategy for the development of new energy vehicles.

Policy direction

“Since last year, the state has introduced a subsidy policy for pure electric vehicles and plug-in new energy vehicles, but the policy of direct oil and electricity mixing has not been introduced, which makes many companies producing hybrid electric vehicles more pessimistic about the prospects.” Dong Yang said, "However, oil and gas mixing is the main technological route to expand in the future. Enterprises should never relax and relax and lose."

Last year, government agencies introduced the Notice on Launching Subsidy Pilots for Privately-purchased New Energy Vehicles. The subsidies for pure electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles reached a maximum of 60,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan, respectively, but for hybrid power products However, the subsidy amount was classified in the category of "energy-saving cars", and only a symbolic subsidy of 3,000 yuan was given. Compared with the former two, excessive contrast has been criticized by the industry.

In the forthcoming draft of the “Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Development Plan (2011-2020)” draft, it has been proposed that large-scale industrialization of ordinary hybrid vehicles will be realized between 2011 and 2015; medium- and heavy-duty hybrid power There are more than one million car ownership plans. However, to achieve such a scale of sales, it is necessary to introduce a more vigorous subsidy policy.

"The oil and electricity mix will be the most adopted new technology in the next five years." Dong Yang affirmed the hybrid technology, and also hinted that this technology model will have more commercial prospects.

Earlier it was reported that an updated version of the new energy subsidy program will be announced in the middle of this year, with more detailed division of new energy vehicles and higher compensation.

Fuel consumption pressure

Although the hybrid power technology is relatively mature, it is currently only in the field of commercial vehicles in the country and there are no such scenes in the field of passenger cars. The subtle changes in policy trends have aroused the attention of enterprises. Joint venture brands that have always been sensible and sensitive have already started to plan for the promotion of hybrid power technology.

Recently, it was reported that FAW Toyota will introduce the new Prius in domestic form in 2012. The car will be produced in Changchun, but the production model is not a plug-in hybrid version that has been tested before, but is an ordinary version of the hybrid electric vehicle that has been listed overseas. It is understood that the car was originally planned to be introduced into China this year. However, because the vehicle is a hybrid and has a displacement of more than 1.6 litres, the new Prius could not enjoy the subsidy according to the new energy vehicle subsidy program announced last year. Toyota temporarily suspended the introduction of the car. And the introduction of plug-in Prius concept car road test. But this year, Toyota finally chose this new Prius with hybrid power system to introduce China. This judgment may come from the awareness of policy trends.

In addition, FAW Group, one of the earliest companies to participate in hybrid technology research and development in China, has not given up its hybrid technology path. At the Shanghai International Auto Show, FAW Group proposed the "Blue Road Strategy" for the development of energy-saving and new energy vehicles. Chairman Xu Jianyi of FAW Group stated that FAW insists on hybrid technology and electric vehicles to walk on two legs along the technical route. The first phase of the “Blue Land Strategy” aims to introduce an additional 8% reduction in the fuel consumption of the autonomous passenger vehicles on the basis that the average fuel consumption of the enterprise meets the national third-level fuel consumption regulatory limit during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. Automotive products, developing key technologies that meet the next phase of fuel consumption limits. According to requirements, the fuel consumption limit for passenger vehicles in the third phase will reach 6.9 liters/100 km. To fall below this limit, the FAW Group’s passenger car model may have more moderate- and medium- and heavy-duty hybrid models with fuel-efficient effects.

In addition, according to the requirements of the "3rd Stage Passenger Vehicle Fuel Consumption Limit Standard", the fuel consumption assessment is no longer limited to a single vehicle type. Instead, it refers to the "Company Average Fuel Economy Law", which will be used by all automakers. Include the overall assessment scope. This means that if there are large-displacement cars in the models of auto companies, the same proportion of small-displacement or new energy car balances must be added to meet the average standard of the overall fuel consumption of the company.

"From the average fuel consumption per passenger car of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, it is difficult to achieve the third-phase limit value by relying solely on the energy-saving of traditional fuel vehicles." According to industry sources, "hybrid hybrid models are relatively practical. select."
