法國宣布在2040年取締汽油車和柴油車 - 汽車

法國新的環境部長 Nicolas Hulot 宣布了一系列的措施

目的是要在2050年時把法國變成一個碳中性的國家

其中一項最激進的政策是要在2040年時取締(outlaw)汽油車以及柴油車

其他幾個歐洲國家也有類似的政策

但大多數都是"禁售"燃油車

而法國這次的計劃卻是要消滅路上的燃油車

方法是透過獎勵民眾去放棄這些會製造汙染的車輛

具體來說

政府會用新的或二手車去跟民眾交換1997年以前製造的柴油車或2001年前製造的汽油車



歐洲環境署(EEA)表示，法國汽車製造商 Peugeot、Citroen 和 Renault

是大型汽車製造商裡面在2016年碳排放最低的1、2、3名

Mr. Hulot 說，解決方案就在那邊，我們的汽車製造商有實現這一承諾的手段



這篇新聞最後也說是否要在2040年時禁止使用所有的汽油車跟柴油車還不明確

不管怎樣

這是目前聽到的最激進要消滅燃油車的政策了

要在2040年前消滅燃油車的話，最遲在2030年或者2035年就要禁售燃油車了耶...

France to 'ban all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040'

France plans to outlaw all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040, its new
environment minister, Nicolas Hulot, has announced.

It will also ban any "new project to use petrol, gas or coal", as well as
shale oil, by that date.

The radical measures were unveiled at a press conference this morning as
part of French president Emmanuel Macron's plans to make France a carbon
neutral country by 2050 and "make the planet great again".

Mr Hulot, a former star wildlife TV presenter, announced "the end of the
sale of petrol or vehicles between now and 2040."

The French will in the meantime be offered financial incentives to scrap
their polluting vehicles for clean alternatives, he said. Concretely,
"the government will offer each French person a bonus to replace their
diesel car dating before 1997 or petrol from before 2001 by a new or
second-hand vehicle," he said.

The move was, he said, a "veritable revolution", adding that reaching the
target would be "tough", particularly for carmakers, but said that
France's car industry was well equipped to make the switch.

French car manufacturers Peugeot, Citroen and Renault ranked first,
second and third on a 2016 list of large car manufacturers with the
lowest carbon emissions, the European Environment Agency (EEA) said.

Mr Hulot cited the example of a "European maker" who had already decided
to take the plunge. That was a reference to Volvo, which on Wednesday
announced plans to build only electric and hybrid vehicles starting in
2019, making it the first major automaker to abandon cars and SUVs
powered solely by the internal combustion engine.

CEO Hakan Samuelsson said the move was dictated by customer demand. It
means that in two years, all new Volvo vehicles will have some form of
electric propulsion.

"The solutions are there, our own makers have in their boxes the means to
fulfill this promise," said Mr Hulot, calling it a "public health" issue.

France is by no means the only country aiming to ban combustion-powered
cars in some form. Germany wants to do away with 100 per cent
combustion-powered vehicles by 2030, as does India. The Netherlands and
Norway wish to do so by 2025.

It was not immediately clear if Mr Hulot meant a ban on even partially
petrol or diesel-powered vehicles.

The minister also said that France will stop producing power from
coal-power stations - now five per cent of the total - by 2022. The
country also wants to reduce the proportion of its power from nuclear to
50 percent by 2025, from the current 75 per cent.

Mr Macron promised to take a lead in fighting climate change after US
president president Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris climate accords.
Aping the US president's campaign slogan, Mr Macron promised to "make the
planet great again" and invited American climate scientists to flock to
France.

Asked about Mr Trump's withdrawal, Mr Hulot said France intended to
pursue "climate diplomacy" by supporting non-governmental organisations.
"I don't confuse the brutal attitdue of the Trump administration with the
US state of mind," he said.
