3rd phase of passenger car fuel consumption

　　At the forum Directly to 2030: Sustainable Urban Transportation Development held yesterday at the SAIC-GM Hall of Shanghai World Expo, State Council's Development Research Center of the Research Department of Industrial Economy Minister Feng Fei said in an interview, “the third phase of passenger car fuel consumption limits to be promulgated this year will on the whole restrict average fuel consumption of all the models of one company, which will become a mandatory leverage for car emission reduction and energy-saving.”

　　According to the information accessed by SOHU AUTO previously, the state subsidy program to encourage individuals to buy energy-saving and new energy vehicles will be formally introduced this month. Specifically speaking, subsidies of plug-in hybrid car can reach the highest of 50,000 Yuan; the maximum subsidy of pure electric vehicles is 60,000 Yuan; hybrid cars without external charger and with a displacement of lower than 1.6L and models meet “the third phase of passenger car fuel consumption limits” can get a uniform subsidy of 3,000 Yuan.

　　Feng said while the state stimulates domestic consumer market through government subsidies, mandatory standards will be implemented to urge enterprises to save energy and reduce emissions, “to encourage manufacturers by the standards while to drive consumers buy subsidy, which is a two-pronged incentives.”

　　Different from the third second of passenger car fuel consumption limits full implemented on January 1 last year, referring to the U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy Act, the third phase of passenger car fuel consumption limits will restrict all models of one enterprise rather one single model. “This is the most significant changes in the new standard. for example, the annual capacity of one auto enterprise is 100 million units, that is to say the weighted average of the fuel consumptions of all models can never exceed national passenger car fuel consumption limit, which means one enterprise can produce some high-emission cars while it must have a certain proportion of low-emission vehicles or new energy to achieve the balance and to meet the average fuel consumption standards. This measure can encourage enterprises to develop new energy vehicles.” It is noteworthy, taking into maneuverability into consideration, the average fuel consumption will be calculated by output rather than sales, which can give more space for enterprises to layout products and make adjustments.

　　According to the drafters, the third phrase limits has generally down by 20% compared to the last vision. By 2015, the national average passenger car fuel consumption will be reduced to about 7L.

　　third phase of passenger car fuel consumption limits will implement the following formula:

　　Their overall fuel consumption = (A-class vehicles actual fuel consumption × A-Class vehicles production + B-class vehicles actual fuel consumption × B-Class vehicles production + C-Class vehicles actual fuel consumption × C-Class vehicles production / A-Class vehicles fuel consumption limit× A-Class vehicles production + B-Class vehicles fuel consumption× B-Class vehicles production + C-Class vehicles fuel consumption limit × C-Class vehicles production) × 100
