Moscow will stimulate eco-friendly transport

Fashion for environmental finally came before us. The Moscow authorities decided to adopt foreign experience and to stimulate the market for hybrid cars is still alien to Russia. Belated applause - Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection in Moscow, which began drafting a law that provided incentives for owners of hybrid cars. Reported on the initiative of the head of Anton Kulbachevsky, informed the public through his blog. "Our department has plans to initiate amendments to legislation that would encourage citizens to purchase hybrid cars. For example, it can be done by lowering the vehicle tax, subsidies, reduction of customs duties, concessional lending ", - he declared, asking readers to suggest what further benefits can promise responsible gibridovladeltsam. The call has caused in the blogosphere this tide of enthusiasm: Readers excitedly offered "carrots" of different levels of sweetness - from the abolition of protective duties for hybrid and interest-free loan to secure a free parking space at home. The latter, of course, the most painful issue for domestic car owners who are tired to climb curbs and get up on the lawns and playgrounds just because some officials for remuneration or goodness of his heart to take home with absolutely any conditions for parking. For the house 600 apartments with 40 parking spaces - this is beyond good and evil. Particularly cynical readers suggested the authorities to demonstrate an example of other citizens, and change from elite cars to hybrids. For example in the Toyota Prius. And environmentally, economically and for the budget. Another thing is that flashing lights will look not so impressive. And the opportunity for the rear passengers to stretch my legs and no mini-bar and does make an intolerable bureaucratic stay in this car. Not so long ago, Anton Kulbachevsky already urged Muscovites to change to hybrids, claiming that 90% of the pollutants in the metropolitan air throw is machine. According to him, for maximum effect to reduce pollutant emissions must be gradually, and all bus fleets in Moscow to translate into more environmentally friendly cars. And here he is right. More harm ecology bring it obsolete buses. At the same time somewhere in the bowels "Mosgortrans" presented by resting the Chinese hybrid bus. All instructions in Chinese, and how to manage it, nobody knows. It has long been in the air theme translation of all public transport in the gas. Caring about the environment here, however, is not the first place - to the more important issue was to find a market for the products of Gazprom. But the main effect rather than a cause. Gas can solve the problem of environmental pollution on public transport. Right there, and the brainchild of Mikhail Prokhorov - "e-mobility." He was, recall, also designed by the use of both petrol and natural gas. As the water looking chap ONEXIM. Launch the first "Eshek" is scheduled for late 2012. The price of cars will vary in the range of 320-500 thousand rubles. In this world's most popular hybrid Toyota Prius is in Russia for more than one million rubles. The only problem in the way of gasification of vehicles - almost complete lack of fueling infrastructure. The same applies to electric vehicles, which in Russia is, and not at all. Only Mitsubishi and Rolf have demonstrated a great sense of humor, threatening to bring the summer electric iMiEV. Purely for fun. Look at the market reaction. However, the high cost - more than 40,000 euros (Europe), as well as serious problems that await a novelty in Russia - again the lack of infrastructure and a cold winter, which hinders operation of the car - put this project into a losing position. However, people who simply have nowhere to do with money, be sure to buy iMiEV, to ride on him at his country estate, and will charge it, throwing out the window strip. Currently in Moscow, reported about 600 hybrids, five of them belong to the Department of Environment. "But if even a quarter of the four million cars registered in Moscow will be a hybrid, exhaust emissions are reduced by more than 200 thousand tons", - dreams Kulbachevsky. Agitate our people, not showing them at the same time sticks - exercise, doomed to failure. But what will attract people to buy environmentally friendly transport? Given the fact that the cost of such a machine is clearly greater than the cost of gasoline cars, this purchase can only afford the middle class. And then have to sweat. In Japan, the United States, Britain, Germany and France, where eco-friendly cars have received the most widespread, this area is actively supporting the state, offering significant discounts, tax deductions and tax credits. Plus, the citizens there to be more conscious in terms of fighting for the purity of nature. Evolution of motor vehicles and human preferences held in the West in several stages: first diesel, then hybrids, but now everything smoothly comes to electric vehicles. We, as usual, behind, pull their socks up and try to jump a couple of traditions stepenek.
