Last update: October 2015 Title of the measure: FRA19 Automobile bonus-malus (“bonus écologique”) General description The bonus-malus scheme (called bonus écologique), based on the CO2 emissions per km, supports the purchase of vehicles with low CO2 emissions by giving bonus (and by penalizing the purchase of vehicles with high emissions by giving a malus). Since its implementation in 2008, this mechanism has been successful: it has supported the decrease of the average emissions levels for the new vehicles registered in France which was 149 gCO2/km in 2007 then, 113 gCO2/km in 2014. Nota Bene: before the implementation of this measure, the observed average decrease was 1.6 gCO2/km; since then, 4.1 gCO2/km per year has been observed (see Figure 1). Figure 1 Average emissions of new domestic vehicles sold in France (in CO2 per km) (source: SOeS1) The bonus-malus scheme relies on two mechanisms2: - a "bonus" for the purchase of a new car with low CO2 emission and the scrap of an old one (registered before 2001); - a “malus” for the purchase of new cars with high CO2 emissions. Type of purchase/rent Electric car emitting less than 20 gCO2/km Hybrid car emitting between 21 and 60 gCO2/km Special grant for low income households: -New or second-hand vehicle emitting between 61 and 110 gCO2/km and conforming with the Euro 6 1 New Total ecological Bonus in € public bonus in € grant in € (superbonus) 6,300 3,700* 10,000 4,000 2,500* 6,500 500 the statistic department of the French Ministry for Energy and Sustainable Development (Service de l’Observation Et des Statistiques) 2 They were 3 mechanisms before 2015 because the car scrapping led to an additional bonus (called “superbonus”) Last update: October 2015 -Second-hand electric or hybrid vehicle emitting less than 20 gCO2/km *For vehicles rent for more than 2 years or bought before the 1st July 2015, the bonus is only of €200 Table 1 Public grants for the purchase of new vehicles from January 2015 Nota Bene: From December 2008 until the end of 2009, the bonus was €1,000 if the new clean vehicle emitted less than 160g CO2/km and if the old car was older than 10 years old. The “superbonus” stopped in 2010 but the scrapping bonus was maintained under new conditions: 700€ until the June, 30th 2010 (500€ after). The “superbonus” was set up again in 2011 (in 2012, the bonus was 200€ under the condition to get rid of an old vehicle older than 15 years) then stopped in 2015 since the scrapping of an old car is requested to be granted of a bonus. Impact evaluation The distribution of new cars purchases per CO2 emission category highlights the trend in low emissions cars purchases (less than 120 gCO2/km in average for new vehicles in 2014). Figure 2 Distribution of new vehicles purchases per category (source: Evolutions du marché, caractéristiques environnementales et techniques, ADEME 2015) Figure 3 Average CO2 emission per km for new vehicles sold in France (source: Evolutions du marché, caractéristiques environnementales et techniques, ADEME 2015) Last update: October 2015 According to the SceGES3 tool from the French General Direction for Energy and Climate (DGEC), the energy saved and potentially saved would have been 0.1 Mtoe in 2012, and would be 1.1 Mtoe in 2016 and 2.2 Mtoe in 2020. Since the final energy consumption of the transport sector was 45.2 Mtoe4 in 2012, this measure would have led to 0.2% of energy savings. Nota Bene: this evaluation has to be taken into consideration carefully since other phenomenon such as the economic crisis and the increase in oil prices in the 2000’s may have contributed to this result.
