Surge in production of green vehicles
Print Edition
CHINESE automakers produced more than 25,000 new-energy vehicles in June, four times as many as they did in the same month of last year, as the government promotes use of less polluting vehicles, new data showed yesterday.
Breaking down last month’s figures, they produced 10,500 electric cars, up 200 percent year on year, and 6,663 plug-in hybrid cars, a surge of 700 percent, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
The output of electric commercial vehicles in June hit 6,218, up 500 percent year on year, while the output of plug-in commercial hybrid vehicles grew 148 percent to 1,645.
The June data brought total output of new-energy vehicles in the first half of this year to 78,500, up 300 percent year on year, the ministry said.
It did not give sales figures for June.
The Ministry of Commerce said earlier this year that China will continue to build charging facilities in cities and allow tax exemptions and subsidies on new-energy vehicle purchases.
In March, the Ministry of Transport aimed for 300,000 new-energy commercial vehicles on the roads by 2020.
