N1 light trucks restricted This new draft bill is only for N1 light trucks with a weight of no more than 3.5 tons at full load or no less than 2.61 tons at no load. Such models account for about 12% of the entire European light vehicle market. On the implementation date of the emission standards, the European Commission did not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach but adopted an approach that gradually achieved compliance. That is, in 2014, 75% of new cars produced by automakers should meet the requirements of regulatory limit curves; The year requires 80% of new cars to meet the standards; from 2016, all new cars should meet the new standards; by 2020, achieve long-term goals of 135 grams per kilometer of CO2 emissions . Prior to 2018, if the total CO2 emissions of vehicles produced by automakers exceeded the limit, a certain amount of fines would have to be paid for each vehicle. Penalties are levied incrementally. If the limit is less than 1g/km, 5 euros will be required. For those who exceed 1 to 2 g/km, 15 euros will be required. For those that exceed 2 to 3 g/km, the penalty shall be paid. 25 euros; for every additional 1 g/km, you will need to pay a fine of 120 euros. After 2019, as long as the limit is exceeded, a penalty of 120 euros per 1 g/km will be required. In order to achieve clear penalties, ultra-low-emission vehicles (below 50g/km) will receive additional incentives for increasing the number of vehicles at the time of statistics, as in 2014, an ultra-low-emission vehicle will be The statistics are 2.5 vehicles. In 2015, it was counted as 1.5 vehicles. From 2016, it can only be counted as 1 vehicle. The so-called emission limit curve is that the draft bill is set according to the weight of vehicles, so that all EU light commercial vehicles can achieve the overall target of 175g/km CO2 emissions, which means that the larger cars have CO2 emissions. The level can be higher than the lower quality car. Because the draft only limits the overall emission standards, manufacturers can still produce vehicles with emissions exceeding the limit as long as the CO2 emissions of these vehicles are offset by other low-emission vehicles. Relaxation of limits Because the vehicle type certification of CO2 testing methods is outdated, some innovative fuel-saving technologies cannot demonstrate their fuel-saving performance in these tests. Therefore, the European Commission plans to evaluate the CO2 test method in 2014. Prior to this, as a transitional measure, automobile manufacturers can apply for emission credits of no more than 7g/km for cars equipped with innovative fuel-saving technologies based on independent and credible test data, that is, car manufacturers can obtain the average emission standards. Not exceeding 7g/km of emission limit. The draft allows automakers to form alliances and jointly develop to meet prescribed emission targets. For independent manufacturers, if the annual sales volume is less than 22,000 units, they can apply to the European Commission for separate emission targets. EU Environmental Affairs Commissioner Dimas said that the draft bill is another important measure for the EU to fulfill its leadership responsibility in dealing with climate change. It will help consumers save energy and will promote the development of commercial vehicle manufacturing technology. However, after the European Commission released the draft, the European Council of the International Automobile Federation issued a communiqué in Brussels expressing its disappointment with the European Commission’s relaxation of the deadline. It was originally stated in the preliminary legislative proposal of the European Commission on the mandatory standards for vehicle exhaust emission in February 2007 that, by 2012, the average CO2 emissions of light commercial vehicles in the EU should be reduced from the current 200 g/km to 175 g/km. Km. However, the draft bill proposed by the European Commission on October 28, 2009, relaxed the deadline for achieving the above-mentioned emission reduction targets to the “2014-2016 periodâ€. In addition, the preliminary legislative bill in 2007 also stipulated that by 2015, the CO2 emission reduction target for light commercial vehicles is 160 g/km. The new draft only proposes that by 2020 the CO2 emissions of young commercial vehicles will be reduced to 135g/km. The FIA ​​European Council pointed out that the preliminary legislative bill of the European Commission is more conducive to the protection of the environment and to the protection of the interests of consumers. The deadline for the new draft on the key emission reduction targets was too broad, so the council was very disappointed with the “shrinkage†of the new bill. The European Commission has said that the new draft is a reasonable plan put forward after considering the opinions of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association and France, Italy, Germany and other countries, taking into account the interests of automakers in the financial crisis. Manufacturers call for policy support However, even if the European Commission made concessions, European car manufacturers are still not satisfied with the current standards. European car manufacturers said that the proposal ignored the current economic situation and the characteristics of different models. Ivan Hordach, secretary-general of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, said: “The European auto industry, especially the commercial vehicle industry, is still seriously affected by the credit crunch and the economic downturn. Legislators should find a balance between protecting the environment and realizing economic growth. According to reports, from January to September, the number of new car registrations for European light commercial vehicles fell by 34.4%, and the number of new car registrations for heavy trucks with more than 16 tons decreased by 47.3%. Ivan Hordach said: "Despite the current severe economic and financial situation, European car manufacturers will continue to work hard to reduce CO2 emissions. At the same time, European car manufacturers also need policy support. For the EU, this can To achieve a win-win situation between the environment and the economy." The European Automobile Manufacturers Association believes that the draft submitted by the European Commission should consider the difference between light commercial vehicles and passenger cars, and consider the characteristics of light commercial vehicles. Hordac said: "This draft only focuses on technology and ignores the market environment and consumer demand. We did not consider the habits of different vehicles in detail. EU legislators should reserve time for the car manufacturers from product design to actual production. It is not a simple forecast.This preparation time is very important for the company to make capital investment, adaptive development, timely production, and maintainability of the price in the product production cycle.Compared with passenger cars, light commercial vehicles have more Long development cycle and product cycle. From the perspective of a commercial vehicle manufacturer, it takes 5 to 7 years to replace the existing production line, from design drawings to product launch.†Whether the opinions of environmentalists and car manufacturers will influence the passage and implementation of the draft, it is still necessary to wait for the final resolutions of the European Parliament and the European Council. Domestic sound While the EU is fulfilling its own commitment to limiting carbon emissions, China's control of CO2 emissions is also growing urgent. On November 25, the State Council held an executive meeting and decided that by 2020, the CO2 emission of China's unit GDP will fall by 40% to 45% compared with 2005, and will be included as a binding indicator in the mid-to-long-term plan for national economic and social development. Domestic statistics, monitoring and assessment methods. The relevant person of the Environmental Protection Department’s motor vehicle emission monitoring center stated that at present, China has not issued a special limit for automotive CO2 emission limits, but limiting the automotive CO2 emissions is an international trend. It is believed that China will also issue relevant policies in the future.
A few days ago, the European Commission passed a draft bill aimed at limiting CO2 emissions from light commercial vehicles . The draft stipulates that from 2014, the average CO2 emissions of all new light commercial vehicles should reach a standard of 175 grams per kilometer.
