石油设备网讯 据世界石油网站4月10日报道，新的立法将有助于减少气候污染，逐步淘汰燃气驱动的轻型车辆，并使当地人能够负担得起零排放车辆（ZEV）花费并更具可行性。如果法案通过，零排放汽车法案将要求在2040年前出售所有新的轻型汽车和卡车为零排放汽车。
能源、矿产和石油资源部部长米歇尔芒格尔（Michelle Mungall）表示：“我们渴望转向零排放汽车，但价格和可用性可能成为障碍。”为了减少这些障碍，我们提供相当的折扣作为“清洁BC省”的一部分，现在我们引入了将提高可用性的立法。”
这项立法将要求到2040年所有新的轻型车辆都达到零排放。这一目标将通过分阶段实施的方法实现，到2025年，轻型汽车新销量的10%，到2030年为30%，到2040年为100%。2020车型年将开始满足汽车制造商的年度需求。
“我们知道，当地公众都希望清洁能源汽车更实惠，更容易接近。”环境和气候变化战略部长乔治·海曼说：“这项立法将使我们省的每个人更容易选择清洁能源汽车作为他们的下一次购买目标，支持我们为建设更清洁的未来而进行的长期工作，同时大幅降低公众的运输和维护成本。”这项立法是我们应对气候变化努力中的一个实际步骤，使我们省走上了一条用清洁和可再生能源推动我们未来的道路。”
当地政府对电动汽车和减少燃料成本和污染的机会感到兴奋。加拿大清洁能源政策主管Dan Woynillowicz说：“这对通勤者来说是双赢的，但是公众很难在经销商的停车场找到电动汽车，而且常常要等很长时间。”这项立法将有助于确保供应与需求保持一致，使人们更容易用电，同时帮助不列颠哥伦比亚省减少碳污染和应对气候变化。如果你想要一辆电动汽车，你应该能从停车场开一辆回家，就像任何一辆车一样。这就是这项政策的目的。”
《零排放车辆法》是根据魁北克和加利福尼亚州已经制定的法规制定的，并征询了制造商、消费者和其他利益相关者的不同意见。
“清洁BC省”计划在三年内投资9.02亿美元用于项目，使该省成为加拿大应对气候变化和保护地方清洁空气、土地和水的领导者。

British Columbia legislation moves towards electric cars, CO2 reductions
New legislation will help reduce climate pollution by phasing out gas-powered light-duty vehicles and making zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) more available and affordable for British Columbians.If passed, the zero emission vehicles act will require the sale of all new light-duty cars and trucks be zero-emission vehicles by 2040.
"British Columbians are eager to make the switch to zero-emission vehicles, but price and availability can be barriers," said Michelle Mungall, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. "To reduce those barriers, we are providing rebates as part of CleanBC, and now we are bringing in legislation that will improve availability."
The legislation will require all new light-duty vehicles to be zero-emission vehicles by 2040. This target will be met using a phased-in approach, with 10% of new light-duty vehicle sales by 2025, 30% by 2030 and 100% by 2040. The annual automaker requirements will start for the model year of 2020.
"We know that British Columbians want clean-energy vehicles to be more affordable and more accessible. The legislation will make it easier for everyone in our province to choose a clean-energy vehicle as their next purchase, supporting our long-term work to build a cleaner future, while dramatically reducing transportation and maintenance costs for British Columbians," said George Heyman, minister of environment and climate change strategy. "The legislation is a practical step in our efforts to fight climate change, putting our province on a path that powers our future with clean and renewable energy."
"British Columbians are excited about electric cars and the chance to cut both their fuel costs and pollution. It's a win-win for commuters, but British Columbians have had a tough time finding electric cars on dealership lots and often had to go on long waiting lists," said Dan Woynillowicz, policy director, Clean Energy Canada. "This legislation will help ensure supply keeps up with demand, making it easier for people to go electric, while helping B.C. cut carbon pollution and combat climate change. If you want an electric car, you should be able to drive one home from the lot, same as any car. That's what this policy is about."
The zero emission vehicles act is based on the legislation already in place in Quebec and California and was informed by consultation with British Columbians, manufacturers and key stakeholders.
CleanBC invests $902 million over three years for programs, making B.C. the leader in Canada in tackling climate change and protecting the province's clean air, land and water.
