National Popular Hybrid Bus

“From the current point of view, the conventional hybrid bus technology is relatively mature and has obvious energy-saving effects. It should no longer limit cities, limit the number, and speed up promotion.” Tang Yuxiang, president of the National People's Congress and president of Zhengzhou Yutong Group Co., Ltd., said, “The ten cities The 1,000-unit subsidy scheme will expire at the end of March 2013. The Ministry of Finance is expected to reduce the proportion of subsidies accordingly, but as long as the subsidy policy continues, it can still promote the development of hybrid buses."

Hybrid buses need to be promoted in large areas According to Tang Yuxiang, energy-saving and new energy buses can be divided into conventional hybrid powertrains, pure electric drives, and fuel cells according to the technical route. The actual line-saving rate of conventional hybrid bus products with better market performance At present, it can reach about 30%; in pure electric-driven passenger cars, the fuel-saving rate of plug-in hybrid buses can exceed 45%, and the fuel-saving rate of pure electric buses can be 100%, which can effectively reduce fuel consumption and reduce carbon emissions.

"HYBRID power can solve more than 30% of fuel-efficient, oil and gas technologies have lower hybrid power costs, and the fuel-saving effect is even more apparent." Tang Yuxiang said that according to statistics, as of March 2013, the country has promoted energy conservation and new Energy bus will break 18,000.

He suggested that the policy of financial subsidies for energy conservation and new energy vehicle demonstration and promotion should be continued to promote the popularization of conventional hybrid buses. In particular, it is recommended to continue to provide financial subsidies to conventional hybrid buses, and continue to expand the scope of policy support to realize new ones as soon as possible. The scale of energy applications has reached the scale of economy. In addition, it is also proposed to increase the demonstration scale and speed up the development of pure electric drive bus industry. For the purely electric drive buses based on plug-in hybrid buses and pure electric buses, it is recommended that national and local governments introduce policies to support the construction of the electric exchange infrastructure. Implement preferential electricity prices.

"Hybrid buses already do not require special policies. They only need the continuity of policies and do not restrict the development of cities." Tang Yuxiang said frankly, "By pure electric vehicles, we must expand the scale of experiments and accelerate the progress of pilot cities."

Last year, the Ministry of Finance expanded the coverage of energy-saving and new energy buses, including hybrid buses, from 25 pilot cities to the entire country, but the number was limited to 3,000 to 5,000 vehicles, and about 6000 vehicles were promoted in model cities. The overall market size in 2013 was approximately 10,000 vehicles.

The school bus operation mode needs to be released. "The situation in the passenger car market this year should be better than last year. First, judging from the current economic situation, the Chinese economy has bottomed out. Second, the management method of the road transport management department will be more scientific and promote the development of the bus industry. "Tang Yuxiang said," It is expected that there will be a relatively large increase in buses and school buses.

In the area of ​​buses, Tang Yuxiang said: "At present, the input to the public transportation sector in each city is lagging behind, and the amount is small. This is a real problem."

For the school bus market that he himself first paid attention to and submitted the bill to the “two sessions”, he still suggested that the school bus’s operating model should be determined as soon as possible, and subsidies should be targeted from the point of purchase and operation. However, Tang Yuxiang also feels helpless about the current status of the school bus in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.

“The Ministry of Education is conducting pilot projects in several cities. If we can sum up the operation models of school buses everywhere, and then provide targeted subsidies, we can promote the rapid start of this market,” said Tang Yuxiang.

"In the school bus market of 5.5 meters or more, Yutong expects this year's growth to exceed 40%." Tang Yuxiang said. Prior to this, the industry expects that the school bus market of 6 meters or more will achieve 40% growth this year, with a scale of approximately 38,000 vehicles.
