Supply of 7.85 million eco-friendly cars by 2030,’reduction of GHG by 24%’
Mandatory purchase of 100% eco-friendly cars for the public, targets for rental cars and large companies to purchase
Review reflecting the entire cycle of electricity production and use in automobile greenhouse gas standards
Eco-friendly vehicle exports will expand to 280,000 units in 2020 → 830,000 units in 2025
[지앤이타임즈]Nearly 8 million eco-friendly cars will be distributed by 2030.
Electric vehicle chargers will be built so that more than 50% of the number of vehicles supplied, and hydrogen vehicle chargers can be reached anywhere in the country within 30 minutes.
The extension of eco-friendly vehicle tax benefits, which will end at the end of this year, is also being considered.
On the 18th, the government announced that it had held the 122nd state affairs review and coordination meeting presided over by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun and discussed the ‘4th Basic Plan for Eco-friendly Vehicles’.
Considering the symbolism of discussing eco-friendly car plans, the meeting location was also held at Hyundai-Kia Motors Namyang Research Center in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do.
The basic plan for eco-friendly vehicles is being established and implemented every five years by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, which is the main ministry in accordance with the Eco-friendly Vehicle Act, and this fourth plan is applied from 2021 to 2025.
The key to this plan is that it has set a goal to reduce automobile greenhouse gas emissions by 24% by 2030.
To this end, we will create a large-scale public and private demand and expand the supply of eco-friendly cars so that 2.83 million eco-friendly cars can be supplied by 2025 and 7.85 million eco-friendly cars by 2030.
First, 100% mandatory purchase of eco-friendly cars is applied to public institutions from this year.
The purchase target system for eco-friendly cars by private consumers such as rental cars and large companies will be applied from this year.
For commercial vehicles such as taxis, buses, and trucks, plans to expand subsidies and incentives supported when purchasing eco-friendly vehicles will be considered.
A plan was also proposed to actively utilize hybrid vehicles as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire cycle through improved fuel economy.
◇ Reach hydrogen charging stations anywhere in the country within 30 minutes
Energy supply bases will also increase in line with the expansion of eco-friendly vehicles.
The government announced that it will support the construction of chargers with more than 50% of the number of electric vehicles supplied, and that it will increase 500,000 units by 2025.
An ultra-fast charger that can run 300km with a 20-minute charge will also be supplied with ‘123 units + α’this year.
To this end, the mandatory establishment of electric vehicle chargers is being reinforced, from 1 unit per 200 parking spaces currently to 10 units in 2022, and existing buildings are also obligated to install chargers.
Public charging facilities are obligated to open for users who have difficulty installing chargers, such as coalitions and multiple households.
Hydrogen vehicles will build a network so that they can reach charging stations anywhere in the country within 30 minutes. To this end, 450 charging stations will be installed by 2025.
In particular, it will be strategically concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area, where charging stations are insufficient compared to vehicles.
Currently, there are 180 hydrogen car charging stations nationwide and 51 stations in the metropolitan area.
It is also seeking to secure early economic feasibility at the level of an internal combustion locomotive.
The timing of achieving vehicle price and fuel cost economy (TCO-Parity) is set in 2025 for electric vehicles and 2030 for hydrogen vehicles.
To this end, it will support the development of a platform exclusively for electric trucks and buses by automakers, and support KRW 133.9 billion in government funding to localize core materials such as batteries and fuel cells.
In addition, it is reviewing the extension of eco-friendly vehicle tax incentives such as individual consumption tax and acquisition tax that expire at the end of this year.
The battery lease business is also being promoted, but this year, the taxi and truck electric vehicle pilot project will be promoted and expanded to hydrogen buses from next year.
The government believes that if the battery leasing business is settled, the initial vehicle purchase price can be reduced by half.
In order to realize carbon neutrality in the transportation sector, we will discuss with the industry and establish a’Eco-friendly vehicle conversion strategy by vehicle type’ by the end of the year.
In addition, it will review the reflection of the Life Cycle Assessment in the automotive GHG standards.
In this case, greenhouse gas emissions from production and use of fuel or electricity consumed by eco-friendly vehicles, as well as production and recycling of batteries and various parts are evaluated.
A plan to introduce a separate standard for quality and suitability for the entire life of the battery is also considered.
◇ Target to launch fully autonomous vehicles in 2024
Electric and hydrogen vehicle technology innovations are also being sought to ensure performance beyond internal combustion locomotives.
The government plans to increase the export of eco-friendly cars from 280,000 units last year to 830,000 units in 2025 and expand the proportion of eco-friendly cars out of total car exports from 14.6% to 34.6%.
As part of this, the goal was to improve the energy density of electric vehicle batteries, improve the efficiency of the thermal management system, and reduce the weight of parts, thereby raising the mileage of more than 600 km and 15% of fuel consumption for a single charge that is more than an internal combustion locomotive in 2025.
It also suggested a plan to commercialize all-solid-state batteries (400Wh/kg) by 2030, which promoted the advancement of six core parts with the aim of launching fully autonomous vehicles in 2024 and significantly enhanced safety.
Hydrogen commercial vehicles are also expanding, with the launch of a 10-ton hydrogen truck this year, a hydrogen wide-area bus in 2022, and a 23-ton hydrogen truck in 2023, and announced that they will improve the durability to more than 500,000 km and the mileage to more than 800 km.
In addition, it plans to develop a liquefied hydrogen vehicle by 2025 and achieve a mileage of 1,000 km or more, which is equivalent to a diesel truck through a demonstration process.
Meanwhile, the commercialization of automobiles that achieves’fine dust Net-Zero’ is promoted by combining the collected carbon dioxide with hydrogen to produce methane that can be used for automobiles and aviation fuel, and collecting the discharged fine dust with high-performance filters or electrostatic dust collection. do.
In order to create a green hydrogen production environment, it is also seeking early commercialization of clean hydrogen production and charging infrastructure such as water electrolysis charging stations and waste energy utilization.
With regard to eco-friendliness in overall railroad, aviation, and port mobility, hydrogen trams, airport hydrogen vehicles, and hydrogen excavators will be supplied by 2023, and port hydrogen vehicles will be introduced in 2024, and the first commercialization of individual aircraft will be in 2025.
In addition, it has announced that it will preemptively establish a recycling system for waste batteries and fuel cells to eco-friendly the entire vehicle cycle.
Meanwhile, the ‘4th Basic Plan for Eco-friendly Vehicles’ is finalized after deliberation by the State Council.
