Public sector disclosure of low-emission vehicle purchase and lease performance
It was found that 73.8% of the vehicles subject to mandatory purchase and lease in 2021 were zero-emission vehicles, indicating that the entire public sector is actively participating in the mandatory purchase and lease system.
The Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced their 2021 purchase performance and 2022 purchase plans for low-emission and eco-friendly vehicles in the public sector.
Low-emission vehicles include electric and hydrogen vehicles (zero-emission vehicles), hybrid vehicles, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and gasoline vehicles that meet low-emission vehicle emission standards. Eco-friendly vehicles are categorized as electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, and hybrid vehicles.
According to the Clean Air Conservation Act and the Act on Promotion of Development and Distribution of Environmentally Friendly Automobiles, national agencies, local governments, and public institutions must purchase or lease a certain percentage of new vehicles as low-emission vehicles (eco-friendly vehicles) and zero-emission vehicles.
The 'Air Quality Conservation Act' requires that 100% of new vehicles be purchased as low-emission vehicles, and that the proportion of zero-emission vehicles (electric and hydrogen vehicles) be at least 80%.
The Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy operate an integrated public sector mandatory purchase and lease system and have been jointly disclosing annual performance results since last year.
government investigationAccording to the report, 609 institutions subject to mandatory purchase and lease in 2021 purchased or leased a total of 7,458 new vehicles, of which 5,504 vehicles, or 73.8%, were confirmed to be zero-emission vehicles.
This is an increase of about three times in just one year compared to 1,806 units in 2020.
Low-emission vehicles, including zero-emission vehicles (electric and hydrogen vehicles), accounted for 6,927 units, or more than 90% of the total 7,458 vehicles, a 14.3% increase compared to 6,060 units in 2020.
In particular, eco-friendly vehicles accounted for 6,805 of the 6,927 units, a 23.9% increase compared to 5,494 units in 2020.
The number of organizations operating electric and hydrogen vehicles as their chief vehicles has increased by about three times from 39 in 2020 to 120.
When examined by institution, among the 609 institutions subject to mandatory purchase and lease, 510 institutions achieved the mandatory ratio of low-emission vehicles (including zero-emission vehicles) in 2021, a 20.9% increase compared to 422 institutions in 2020. The achievement rate also improved from 69.3% in 2020 to 83.7% in 2021.
The Ministry of Environment plans to impose fines of up to 3 million won on 74 local governments and public institutions out of the 99 institutions that failed to meet their mandatory ratios, in accordance with the Clean Air Conservation Act.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Environment investigated the total vehicle purchase and lease plans of 769 organizations subject to the mandatory purchase and lease system this year, and found that the total was 6,538 vehicles.
Among these, low-emission vehicles accounted for 96.2% (6,290 units) and zero-emission vehicles accounted for 84.2% (5,510 units), indicating that the entire public sector is actively participating in the mandatory purchase and lease system.
To ensure that the goals are met without any setbacks, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy will request supplementary measures from the 55 organizations that submitted plans that fall short of the mandatory ratio, and will review their performance on a quarterly basis.
Furthermore, to accelerate the transition to electric and hydrogen vehicles in the public sector, we plan to actively consider increasing the mandatory purchase ratio for electric and hydrogen vehicles from the current 80%. To this end, we plan to begin revising the Enforcement Decree of the Clean Air Conservation Act and the Enforcement Decree of the Eco-Friendly Vehicle Act in the second half of this year.
Park Yeon-jae, the Ministry of Environment's Air Quality Policy Director, said, "We actively informed relevant organizations and requested their participation to expand the mandatory purchase and lease system, and as a result, the 2021 performance significantly improved compared to the previous year." He added, "We will also accelerate the private sector's transition to zero-emission vehicles through measures such as the low-emission vehicle distribution target system and the '2030 Zero-Emission Vehicle Transition 100 Movement.'"
