Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Energy-saving vehicle subsidy standard is expected to increase by another 10%

On June 25, Zhang Xiangmu, Director of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated at the 2011 Global Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicle Summit that at present, China has more than 400 models of energy-saving vehicles that enjoy energy-saving and emission-reduction subsidies, and In the increase, the relevant subsidy standards are expected to increase by another 10%.

Zhang Xiangmu said that China’s auto market is still far from saturated. With the development of the economy, people’s demand for cars is unstoppable, and the number of cars in 2015 is expected to double. In the future, the development of China's automobiles will present the trend of energy-saving cars and new energy vehicles. He said that there is a long process for the industrialization of new energy vehicles. In this process, China’s car ownership increases at a rate of 20% and 30%. Therefore, the automotive industry is more realistic in energy conservation and emissions reduction, starting from traditional cars and encouraging and supporting energy-saving cars. On the one hand, it continues to implement the target value of fuel consumption for automobiles. On the one hand, it guides the consumption of energy-saving cars from the policy. “We have reached more than 400 models of energy-saving vehicles that have reached the national energy-saving and emission-reduction policy, and we are still on the increase. Therefore, we are studying with the relevant departments to improve our subsidy standards. Can we increase 10%? The guiding role of this kind of policy is indeed still very big." Zhang Xiangmu said.

Since the beginning of this year, the industry has reported that energy-saving subsidies will be cancelled in June this year. Dong Yang, secretary-general of the China Automobile Association, also said that the energy conservation subsidy will basically not be eliminated and that the automobile industry, which has experienced a significant slowdown, should be properly considered and encouraged.

It is understood that the relevant departments have recently convened meetings of major auto groups and companies to discuss the direction of the New Deal for energy-saving vehicles. Finally, the idea of ​​energy-saving vehicle subsidies will still be implemented, but the threshold for energy-saving vehicle subsidies will increase by 10%. According to the third-stage fuel consumption limit standard, the subsidy will be raised from the current average fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 km to 6.2L. If this is the deduction, the current list of five batches of energy-saving subsidies for comprehensive fuel consumption (the sixth batch of comprehensive fuel consumption has not been announced), and the model with a combined fuel consumption of less than or equal to 6.2L for a 100-km model is only about 83 models, accounting for 25 percent of all energy-saving models. About %, at that time, nearly 70% of the models will be forced out.
