In 2020, all public transportation in key cities will adopt new energy vehicles. my country is increasing its efforts to promote new energy vehicles.

On June 25, the Ministry of Transport held a regular press conference. At the meeting, Mao Jian, deputy inspector of the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Ministry of Transport, introduced the main measures of the Ministry of Transport to fight the battle against pollution. Mao Jian said that in 2020, the transportation industry must achieve the established goal of "successfully completing the battle against transportation pollution." To this end, the Ministry of Transport will adjust the transportation structure and increase investment in freight railway construction. At the same time, the use of new energy vehicles will be promoted. By the end of 2020, all buses in the built-up areas of municipalities directly under the Central Government, provincial capitals, and cities with independent planning status in key areas will be replaced with new energy vehicles.

Mao Jian made it clear that in accordance with the spirit and specific requirements of the National Ecological and Environmental Protection Conference held in May this year, the Ministry of Transport will strengthen the upgrading of vehicle structure and promote the use of new energy vehicles in the next step. Operational vehicles in ports, airports, railway freight yards and other key areas will be replaced with new energy or clean energy vehicles. "Promoting the application of new energy and clean energy is one of the important measures for green transportation, which is conducive to optimizing the structure of transportation equipment and improving the efficiency and overall energy efficiency of transportation equipment. Our department will increase the application of new energy and clean energy vehicles in urban public transportation, taxis, urban distribution, postal express, airports, railway freight yards, ports in key areas and other fields. Cooperate with relevant departments to carry out the construction of charging facilities in highway service areas and airports. By the end of 2020, the number of new energy vehicles in urban public transportation, taxis and urban distribution will reach 600,000." Mao Jian said.

my country is increasing its efforts to promote new energy vehicles. Public data shows that currently, about 250 million people choose public transportation every day, and the industry has promoted and applied more than 300,000 new energy vehicles. According to data released by Beijing Public Transport Group, the operating entity of Beijing's ground public transportation, from 2015 to 2017, the proportion of clean energy and new energy buses in Beijing Public Transport Group has increased from 44.95% in 2015 to 60.7%, an increase of 15.75%. Despite this, it is less than two years away from 2020, and the promotion target of 600,000 new energy vehicles still seems arduous.

Han Shiyi, deputy director of China Communications News Agency, pointed out that the promotion and application of new energy buses are still facing many difficulties. First, due to the battery cost, the lack of industrialization and scale of key components, and the impact of technological development, the purchase price of new energy buses is generally high, while the national subsidies are decreasing year by year, and the purchase and operation subsidies of new energy buses are restricted by local financial factors.

In this regard, the Ministry of Transport is also actively taking measures. At the experience exchange meeting on high-quality routes for new energy buses held on May 27, relevant officials of the Ministry of Transport said that they will actively coordinate with the financial department to reasonably coordinate the adjusted rural passenger transport and taxi oil price subsidy funds to support the development of public transportation and the promotion and application of new energy vehicles, and promote the priority selection of new energy vehicles for new and updated buses.

However, some industry insiders also said that although some bus companies are still calling for subsidy policies to continue to be strengthened, if they want to truly develop the new energy vehicle industry, the "government's hand" cannot continue to support it. It must also rely on the bus companies themselves to tap their potential, achieve self-financing, find a financing model that suits the company itself, and reduce capital investment.
