Environment. A bonus-malus penalizing polluting vehicles and encouraging the purchase of "clean" cars will be introduced from 1 January.
First effect of the Grenelle Environment: The bonus-malus imposed on vehicles depending on their degree of pollution CO2 - which plays a major role in the greenhouse effect - will be introduced from 1 January 2008. Powerful symbol in the timing: no one expected so soon; symbol weaker in its effect on the environment, bonuses and penalties are balanced and do not emit any room from, for example, transport.
The government has opted for a "purely hortatory." The bonus (200 euros) will be paid at the time of first registration, the purchaser of a car emitting between 121 and 130 g / km of CO2, that is to say at present 30% of sales. It will rise to 700 euros between 101 and 120 g and may reach 1 000 for vehicles emitting less than 100 g. At this premium will be added a "super bonus" of 300 euros when the purchase of "green vehicle accompanied by the scrapping of old vehicles of more than fifteen years."
Conversely, vehicles, heavy emitters of carbon dioxide will apply a penalty of 200 euros for emissions between 161 and 165 g / km (25% of sales). It will rise to 750 euros between 166 and 200 g / km, then 1 600 euros between 201 and 250 g, and finally 2600 euros beyond, which will concern only "the big sedans, or 1% of vehicles new '. No bonus or penalty will apply to vehicles in the neutral zone, whose emissions are between 130 and 160 g, about 45% of acquisitions. Levels will be gradually hardened, 5 g / km of CO2 every two years to encourage manufacturers to continue their efforts in the development of clean vehicles, announced the Department of Ecology.
known sooner that decision, the federation France Nature Environment and Acting for the environment, while acknowledging its importance, regretted that the device returns to a "right to pollute lump" that does not " invest in public transport systems and alternative "and not conducive to a" minimum use of private cars. " The associations noted that "these measures penalize lower income" and that on this subject, all were in the Grenelle agreement "for the establishment of a social component."
Side automotive professionals, we question because the system ignores the second-hand vehicles, the most polluting. While approving the bonus-malus, the French Federation of Automobile Clubs expressed "very cautious", "scalded "By the former road tax" which would "improve the lives of seniors." "We know how that ended. "
