Chungnam to Reach 10,000 Eco-Friendly Vehicles on the Road Within the Year
[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The number of eco-friendly vehicles registered in Chungnam is expected to exceed 10,000 within this year.
On the 18th, Chungnam Province announced plans to distribute a total of 5,122 eco-friendly vehicles this year. Among them, electric vehicles will include 3,500 passenger cars, 10 buses, and 1,300 trucks, while hydrogen vehicles will include 300 passenger cars and 12 buses.
The electric vehicle distribution targets by city and county are led by Cheonan with 1,010 units, followed by Asan with 844, Seosan with 580, Dangjin with 442, and Nonsan with 284. Hydrogen vehicle targets are 106 in Cheonan, 76 in Asan, 35 each in Seosan and Dangjin, and 10 each in Boryeong, Hongseong, and Yesan.
Notably, the scale of eco-friendly vehicles to be distributed this year matches the total number distributed up to last year. By the end of last year, 5,395 electric and hydrogen vehicles had been distributed in Chungnam.
This reflects the rapid transformation of the global automobile market toward eco-friendly vehicles and aims to reduce emissions of fine dust and other air pollutants by increasing the distribution of eco-friendly vehicles. The province plans to continuously increase the number of eco-friendly vehicles distributed going forward.
In line with this, the province provides subsidies of up to 18 million KRW for electric passenger cars and 32.5 million KRW for hydrogen vehicles when purchased locally.
