Continuous rise in oil prices prompted new energy vehicles to take advantage

The day before yesterday, domestic gasoline prices rose again and broke through 8 yuan per liter. Many car owners began to pay unprecedented attention to fuel-efficient new energy vehicles. Happily, new energy vehicles have once again received good news. Last week, the relevant ministries and commissions issued the first "Catalogue of Vehicle Taxes for New Energy Vehicles Reducing Vehicle Taxes". From January 1, 2012, new energy vehicles have been exempted. Travel tax. Although the amount of tax concessions for vehicles and boats is not high, it will be 180 yuan a year. However, people in the industry have stated that this is undoubtedly another signal for the country to increase the support for energy-saving vehicle models.

Private buy pure electric vehicles, Hangzhou has 90 vehicles

According to the first “Catalogues,” the 49 models that levied half of the tax on vehicles and boats will be reduced by 180 yuan in one year. The actual significance is not great, and it is more policy-oriented.

As early as January of 2009, a total of 25 pilot cities across the country were listed as pilot cities for new energy vehicles. It is understood that currently, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Hefei and other cities are performing better. According to the Hangzhou Automobile and Economics Automobile Department, as of the end of last year, the number of pure electric vehicles in the Hangzhou model has reached more than 200, and privately-purchased electric vehicles have reached 90.

“Now, there are more than 1,300 new energy vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles in Hangzhou, of which more than 100 have been added in the past two or three months!” Yesterday, Wei Zhaohong, deputy director of the Hangzhou Municipal Economic and Trade Commission Automobile Department, said that as the country’s first private purchases One of the five pilot cities for new energy vehicles, Hangzhou electric vehicle development has always been at the forefront of the country.

Hybrid cars are getting more and more popular

Compared to electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles are becoming more and more popular in Hangzhou. “Our Lexus CT200H is selling very well. We sold more than 40 vehicles last month. The sales volume of several stores in Hangzhou added up to 100 vehicles.” Speaking of the Lexus CT200H Hybrid Electric Vehicle, which was not listed for a long time, Lu Ji, the market manager of Zhejiang Yuantong Lexus, was obviously very excited. He said that when the car was not on the market, they had more than 300 batches of customers in one month, but now it has increased to more than 500 batches each month, adding more than 40%. The customers are all driven by the excellent fuel consumption of this car. According to feedback, the comprehensive fuel consumption of this car in the 100 kilometers of Hangzhou city road is 5 to 6 liters, which is only half the fuel consumption of a 1.8L gasoline engine with the same displacement, which means that it can save about 3 million yuan in fuel money in a year. If oil prices continue to rise, the savings can be more substantial.

The same sales situation has changed the Prius, Buick Lacrosse hybrid cars and so on.

“Originally, most of the vehicles were just to understand the situation and ask questions. Nowadays, people often place orders. Although the amount is still relatively small, it is obviously better than before.” Zhejiang STO auto sales consultant told the reporter.

Another hybrid vehicle that has to be said is that the new third-generation Prius from FAW Toyota, which was listed at the end of last month, was the first to come out and China has been dissatisfied for years. But this time, Toyota clearly has new confidence in the Prius. On the one hand, its lowest price is 30,000 yuan lower than the previous model, and on the other hand, the displacement is increased to 1.8L. After such an adaptation, FAW Toyota vs. the new Prius this year. The sales volume is also seen as high as 3,000.

From the oil prices will continue to rise in the future, the market gradually restored the heat of hybrid vehicles, I believe that in the future, new energy vehicles sales will have a better performance.
