“super bonus” granted to those who want to replace their old diesel car will be operational by April announced the Minister of Ecology.
In addition, Segolene Royal reiterated Wednesday it announced in our columns: the establishment of a green dot to identify the cleanest cars “before the summer”. A “certificate of air quality” that give advantages for clean vehicles could be put behind the windshield. “Several certificates of different colors will be created based on the emissions thresholds vehicles,” the minister said about the measure that recalls the green dot set up in 1998 to allow the most virtuous vehicle traffic during the pollution peaks.
Later on Wednesday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls will detail the ecological roadmap of the government must achieve its ambition of reducing air pollution and pesticides as well as the end subsidies for coal-related projects.
OUR QUESTION OF THE DAY. Pollution: Are you in favor of environmental badges on vehicles
The creation of a “super bonus” for the purchase of electric vehicles was announced several months?. Now the bonus for cars thermal engine (gasoline and diesel) will simply be deleted for lower emission cars and replaced by the “super bonus”. As for the penalty of 150 euros to 8,000 euros for the most polluting cars in CO2, it will be maintained. It will be up to 3,700 euros for an electric vehicle and will be combined with the environmental bonus, which means that the premium on a new vehicle can reach up to 10 000 euros in total.
There will live in a polluted urban area
But this boost will not be automatic. It will require the buyer to put the breaks a diesel car over 13 years old and lives in a polluted urban area. These areas, called APP, concern 48% of the French population, according to the Ministry of Economy.
The bonus will be reduced from 2,000 euros to 1,500 euros for hybrid vehicles (gas, electricity) simple that does not charge like the Toyota Prius, which dominates the market. A bonus of 2,500 euros will also be created for buyers of plug-in hybrid, also called “plug-in”. It will be added to 4000 euros “green bonus” already provided for by the legislation provided they meet the same conditions as for electric vehicles.
Finally, Segolene Royal said that 7 million terminals electric charging would be installed throughout the country and that they become mandatory in “private and public car parks, train stations, supermarkets and airports,” and that individuals will be eligible for a tax credit for reduce by 30% the cost of installing the terminals is around 800 euros.
The measure should largely benefit the German and Japanese manufacturers who are leaders in this field, while Renault and PSA Peugeot Citroën are exceeded. The Volkswagen Group, which markets its Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, will decline rapidly this technology on other models: the Audi A3 e-tron, the GTE Volkswagen Golf, Passat and Tiguan plug-in … Same with BMW its X5 4X4 eDrive or Mercedes S500 with its big. Toyota will surf the Prius range. Note the fine introduction Volvo track in this area with the V60 already on the market and the arrival of big XC90 SUV 400 horsepower but whose emissions do not exceed 60 grams of CO2 / km …
According to a study of the Xerfi research firm, Renault, yet precursor of the new wave of electric cars, continues to lag. “Fourth in 2012 and sixth in 2013, the Renault group may no longer be in the top 10 rechargeable vehicle manufacturers in 2014,” says the study. Same PSA that is struggling to impose its diesel hybrid technology outside the European market. The group is now positioned on gasoline plug-in hybrid, but the first models would not be expected before 2020 according to Carlos Tavares, CEO of PSA
