Output of green autos up 10-folds
Print Edition
CHINESE carmakers produced 10 times as many new-energy vehicles last month as they did in November 2013, thanks to intense government-led promotion.
They made a total of 9,728 green vehicles last month, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said yesterday in a statement.
For the first 11 months of this year, total production rose fivefold to more than 56,700 units. New-energy vehicles include pure electric cars and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
During the same period, the output of pure electric passenger cars soared nearly 700 percent from a year earlier to about 25,800 units, and that for plug-in hybrid passenger cars climbed about 25 times to 13,600 units.
The output of pure electric and plug-in hybrid commercial vehicles surged 188 percent and 245 percent year on year, respectively, the statement said.
Intense government-led promotion has introduced more new-energy vehicles to China’s roads as the country aims to save energy and combat pollution.
A raft of measures has been put into place, including tax exemptions, subsidies for car purchases, and requirements for government bodies to buy green cars.
Last month, the Ministry of Finance unveiled new carrots for building charging facilities for new-energy vehicles in cities.
