Phil (必) Environment Era… Announcement of plans to supply eco-friendly vehicles to major countries in the world
Japan “800,000 hydrogen cars by 2030” and “3.3 million electric cars by 2025” in Japan
Diesel and gasoline cars lost in 2030, hydrogen and electric car era arrived
[에너지신문] On the 23rd, the government announced the’Basic Plan for Eco-Friendly Vehicles’, which will supply 7.85 million eco-friendly cars by 2030, and started preparing for the upcoming eco-friendly car era.
Recently, as the world has increased interest in environmental issues such as strengthening greenhouse gas regulations, and the competition for autonomous driving intensifies, competition in the’eco-friendly car’ market is expected to become more intense.
According to the global automotive platform MarkLines, global eco-friendly vehicle sales amounted to about 4.35 million units in 2019, accounting for only 5% of the sales of internal combustion locomotives, but they are growing rapidly with an annual average growth rate of 21% over the past four years. In particular, Marklines predicts that the global eco-friendly car market will grow by 28% on an annual average, reaching 28 million units by 2025.
Accordingly, advanced eco-friendly car countries such as the United States, Japan, Europe, and China are rushing to come up with a’plan to supply eco-friendly cars’ to take the lead in competition. Now that the’peel environment era’, which considers the environment as essential, has become a global trend, what are the policies of the world’s major countries to spread eco-friendly cars?
Japan announced in December last year that it will take comprehensive measures to realize 100% of the sales of new passenger cars with electric vehicles by the mid-2030s at the latest in accordance with its green growth strategy. It has set the goal of supplying 200,000 units of hydrogen cars by 2025 and 800,000 units by 2030.
To this end, it decided to subsidize four clean energy vehicles (electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, hydrogen electric vehicles, and clean diesel). For electric vehicles, up to 400,000 yen is supported, and for plug-in hybrids, 200,000 yen is paid per unit. Hydrogen cars and clean diesel subsidize 150,000 yen.
In addition, in the case of electric vehicle charging stations, up to 2/3 of the facilities and construction costs are supported within the limit for the expansion of the charging infrastructure, and subsidies will be provided for water plant charging stations up to 1/2 to 2/3 of the installation cost.
The U.S. is predicting the proliferation of eco-friendly vehicles (ZEV) early, and in November 2019, the’Multi-State ZEV Action Plan’ was formulated, regulations were strengthened, and hydrogen charging stations essential for the supply of fuel cell vehicles were installed. According to this regulation, it plans to supply 3.3 million eco-friendly cars in 10 states including California and Colorado by 2025.
Also, at the same time, the hydrogen economy roadmap was enacted, supplying 1.2 million hydrogen electric vehicles by 2030, and building 4,300 hydrogen charging stations.
In July of last year, it signed an MOU to convert eco-friendly vehicles to medium- and large-sized vehicles, and included the contents of converting the sales of mid- and large-sized vehicles such as pickup trucks, vans, delivery trucks, and school buses to 100% eco-friendly vehicles in 15 states and DC by 2050.
In addition, the state of California has set common goals, such as a ban on the sale of passenger cars with internal combustion engines, in 2035, provides purchase subsidies in the form of tax credits for eco-friendly vehicles, and implements various policies to promote the spread of vehicles, such as permission to use exclusive lanes for multi-another vehicles. I am doing it.
Europe is the most active in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Active measures are being taken, such as strengthening restrictions on CO2 emissions by automobile manufacturers and operating preferential treatment systems according to the ZLEV standard ratio.
In particular, Germany, which is the dominant country of diesel cars, is transforming itself into a’representing eco-friendly car’. By 2030, it aims to achieve 7-10 million cumulative supply of electric and hydrogen vehicles, and plans to build 1 million charging stations. Although the transition to eco-friendly vehicles is still delayed due to the high competitiveness of internal combustion locomotives, it is rapidly shifting to eco-friendly vehicle systems.
France also enacted the Act on the Prohibition of Sales of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles in 2040 with the goal of cumulative supply of 3 million electric vehicles, hydrogen electric vehicles, and 1.8 million plug-in hybrids by 2028, and paid 3 to 7,000 euros for electric vehicle purchase subsidies, the largest subsidy in Europe. It has a policy.
The Netherlands and Norway have agreed to ban the sale of internal combustion vehicles by 2025, and the UK is also determined to make it a’green car country’ by expanding the sales share of electric vehicles and hydrogen cars to 50-70% by 2030.
China announced a new energy vehicle industry development plan last year, and set a target of 20% of the new energy vehicle share by 2025. In addition, it plans to step up the target by 2035 and achieve 100% eco-friendly cars with 50% of new energy vehicles and 50% of hybrid vehicles.
To this end, the subsidy for electric vehicle plug-in hybrid vehicles will be extended until 2022, and the subsidy for electric vehicles will be 16,200 to 22,500 yuan for electric vehicles and 8,500 yuan for plug-in hybrids for passenger cars.
In addition, we are actively working to revitalize the hydrogen car industry. As the competitiveness of Korea and Japan is insufficient, until December 2023, the central government has strengthened the support system by providing annual incentives differentially to city groups participating in the fuel cell vehicle pilot project according to the degree of achievement of the target.
