Since April, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and other cities of various magnitudes in the diesel shortage, similar to the second half of last year, the country's oil supply situation has been explained.. And the Federation of rising oil prices before the "Gasoline Shortages" appears to be imminent transfer prices signal.

This undoubtedly is still in "the development of diesel technology" argument in the automotive industry in China cast a heavy shadow, the Chinese strategy to push diesel vehicles to the sharp wind waves mouth.

April 21 "organised by the international advanced diesel vehicle technology strategy seminar", the State Council Development Research Center of the Research Department of Industrial Economy Minister Feng Fei of automotive diesel rate of the size of a bold prediction, "in 2020, the diesel passenger cars Market share will reach 20.51 percent, the market share of diesel cars will reach 17.07 percent. "

From the 2005 National Development and Reform Commission "industrial restructuring Catalog (2005)" clearly encouraged "advanced the development of car diesel engine manufacturers" to its 2007 version will be removed from the content of the course, whether the development of diesel cars in China Has experienced repeated arguments, what is the problem of oil or diesel vehicles there are shortcomings in the technology itself, the parties still disagree.

This is because the sulphur content of diesel in China is 500 ppm (1ppm is one millionth), and developed countries are poles apart from the 15 ppm, the black smoke of diesel vehicles, "cuttlefish" image in people's always difficult to remove the impression that .

As a staunch supporter of diesel cars, Feng Fei has always believed that the advanced diesel vehicles solve the energy problems we are currently the best way. And by the State Research Center and the China Automobile Engineering Society seminar held in mind is that the policy advice, technical analysis perspective of full proof, the ultimate form reported to the relevant state departments, "proposal", the diesel cars of a Promote the role.

"We have no better choice"

"Apart from diesel cars, we have no better choice." State Council's Development Research Center of the Research Department of Industrial Economy Minister Feng Fei in an interview with this reporter said, "At this stage, both hybrid and pure electric vehicles or hydrogen fuel Batteries, industrialization, there is a certain problem, can not immediately replace traditional internal combustion engine. "

Feng Fei diesel cars at least at this stage that the technology is mature and other new energy technologies is unprecedented, so can immediately solve the immediate problem of energy shortage. In addition, there is no better solution.

At present the main advantages of diesel cars than ordinary gasoline engine vehicle fuel economy 25 percent to 40 percent, according to the State Council Development Research Center forecasts indicate that, if in 2020 the share of advanced diesel vehicles can be reached 39.7 percent, then be able to save 28.37 million tons of oil , Which is equivalent to reduce total oil demand of 5.1%, equivalent to reducing vehicle fuel consumption of 8.2 percent.

China's automobile production and sales has been the rapid growth of energy supply and environmental protection become a thorny issue in 2000, motor vehicle fuel consumption of total oil demand for a share of 1 / 3, 2020 this proportion will reach 60 percent. And the same in 2020, China's dependence on foreign oil will reach 60 percent, oil security issues can not be ignored.

In addition, motor vehicle emissions caused by air pollution worsening, it has become a major source of pollution in some cities. According to IEA statistics, in 2005 carbon dioxide emissions of energy activities to 5.1 billion tons in 2000-2001-2005 years, China's carbon dioxide emissions account for the growth of world carbon dioxide over the same period of growth for more than half.

And advanced diesel vehicles in carbon dioxide emissions, significantly lower than gasoline engine cars.

"Advanced diesel vehicles, hybrid, hydrogen, electric, and so on are pure options, we are pursuing the ideal target." China Automobile Engineering Society executive vice president, the Secretary-General Wu Fu was interviewed by this reporter Said "But what can be the fastest works and marketization, which is decided by the market, so our technology must be based on line conditions."

State Council Development Research Center of the information provided, automotive technology will coexist in a variety of technical situation, the current gasoline vehicles, advanced diesel vehicles, hybrid technology, gas cars, bio-fuel vehicles, fuel cell vehicles will occupy a certain market share.

However, different techniques of large-scale commercialization of the running time there is a clear difference, advanced diesel vehicles has entered the large-scale commercial operation, hybrid vehicles into the initial commercial operation, fuel cell vehicles and second-generation biofuels Preparation of the great Scale commercial operation around the need to 2020.

At present the industry's view, petrol and diesel vehicles in the next 20-30 years still dominant position, in 2030 the proportion of tenure is still more than 60 percent.

500ppm, and the gap between the 15 ppm

¢ó emissions from the implementation of the oil caused by the debate, this time triggered by the advanced diesel vehicles in the discussions. Since the current in the petroleum, petrochemical, and other enterprises in the country ¢ó supply of petrol and diesel emissions are difficult, if produced with advanced diesel vehicles using diesel, would be "even more difficult."

The development of diesel vehicles do not have the United States, have taken the advanced diesel vehicles to encourage policy. But the United States Environmental Protection Department's traffic and air quality office, said Dennis Leaf, the premise that the United States is the sulfur content in diesel to 15 ppm.

"Do you know China is now the number?» "China Automobile Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Fang Du-chee asked this reporter said," We are now the sulfur content of diesel is 500 ppm. "

For a time, a high-sulphur oil target, the automotive industry and related departments have become a constraint that the petrochemical industry to promote advanced diesel cars the only obstacle.

However, when Volkswagen, vice president of the Chinese Sui new after listening to the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Sinopec Petrochemical Institute of Science and Technology Li Dadong president's speech, but to change their views, in his view this is not a simple issue of oil.

Academician Li Dadong in his speech, China's oil refining enterprises can fully hydrocracking, and other techniques to produce ¢õ meet European emission requirements for diesel, we have mastered the production of clean diesel technology, but at present the main problem is that refining Enterprise is the loss of refining diesel.

At present, China's diesel prices lower than international prices, mainly to ensure that agricultural production and a large number of major infrastructure projects, while oil refining enterprises are unwilling to refining oil refining because the product is also cheaper than raw materials, refining The diesel is losing money.

"First is to develop motor diesel standards, automotive diesel and ordinary diesel standards separate second is the price mechanism rationalize, to promote higher prices for better quality, so that enterprises consciously produce more diesel and finally in equipment investment In the hope that the Government have some policy support. "Li Dadong said.

Zhang Sui new that the key is to have a coordination of government departments come forward guidance, to straighten out this matter, the investment from the automotive industry, the petrochemical equipment transformation, it is estimated that three to five years by the time they can improve the conditions of all hardware.

State Research Center of the "Proposal"

Although the end of last year, the State Development and Reform Commission published the "industrial restructuring Catalog (2007)" (draft), will be encouraged to have "advanced the development of cars with diesel engines to create" a removal. However, Feng Fei has always believed that, at this stage, the development of advanced diesel vehicles in China is the best choice, and the State Council Development Research Center have developed a detailed policy measures.

State Research Center of the "Proposal" proposal, first, we should develop energy-saving diesel cars as environmentally friendly cars one of the main technical route, be included in China's medium and long-term energy strategy and long-term scientific and technological innovation strategy, the "11th Five-Year Plan," the auto industry Special plans clearly to encourage the development of advanced diesel technology.

This was followed by developing countries should step up their vehicle diesel standards, through the appropriate price, such as tax incentives to encourage oil and petrochemical enterprises means of producing high-quality diesel, such as higher prices for better quality and production of high quality diesel tax relief. At the same time increase the appropriate high-quality diesel oil import quotas, high-quality diesel to increase the non-state-owned trade quota share.

Proposed accelerating China's advanced diesel technology independent innovation, the Government aimed at diesel technology in some key areas of technology, increase the forefront of basic, competitive research and development funding, production and research formed the integration of technology innovation Alliance. At the same time encourage foreign diesel engine manufacturers or research institutions in China to establish R & D institutions, the state granted land, taxation and other aspects of preferential policies.

"It's not just in production, in part to encourage consumption." Feng Fei said, "to encourage the establishment of financial and taxation policies to encourage advanced diesel vehicles in the production and consumption, the introduction of fuel tax as soon as possible." In addition, the State Research Center also recommended speeding up promotion of the City Diesel taxi groups give priority to the development.
