English.chinabuses.com: Currently, the price of crude oil surges. Many countries and organizations find a new way to solve this problem. So far, low-emission hybrid electric vehicles have already entered the phase of large-scale industrialization. Over one million hybrid vehicles have already been sold globally, while the mass production of zero-emission vehicles will be realized in 2015, a decade earlier than originally expected. Ouyang Minggao, expert leader of the Energy Saving and new energy auto project of the National Hi-tech R&D Program (863 Program) predicted that China would develop hybrid, electric and fuel cell vehicles.
China will offer 43,000 Yuan in subsidies to hybrid car buyers in the southwestern city of Chongqing, the first such initiative for private cars. The subsidy, including the waiving of 7,000 Yuan in road fees for three years, is equivalent to a 31 percent discount for the hybrid sedan. China pledged to subsidize purchases of clean-energy vehicles for public fleets in 13 cities as it moves to help its auto industry develop green technologies.
Under the trial scheme public transport operators, taxi firms and postal and sanitary services in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, will get rebates of 28,000 Yuan to 250,000 Yuan for green vehicles, including electric, hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles. Late last year, the Chongqing government ordered 10 Jiexuns from Changan and set a target to increase the number of hybrid vehicles in the city's public sector to 1,000 in three years.
