EM: the number of climate-friendly vehicles in Hungary increased to an unprecedented extent last year
There are already more than 63,000 cars with green license plates on the road in Hungary, more than half of them are purely electric passenger cars. The increase in 2022 is almost 21,000 units, and a third of the vehicles equipped with the light green official marking entered the market last year, the Ministry of Energy wrote in its statement on Thursday.
At the end of 2022, 63,597 cars with green license plates were registered in the country, three and a half times more than at the beginning of 2020, and four and a half times more of cars with only electric drive. Last year brought a significant advance of vehicles with the most environmentally friendly drive at the expense of hybrids. Less than five thousand pure electric cars were put on the market the year before last, but in 2022, by contrast, more than 13 thousand were put on the market. In 2021, less than a third of all vehicles with green license plates put to work in a given year, and last year almost two-thirds were driven exclusively by electric motors - detailed the ministry.
They added that by the end of the year, among clean and quiet vehicles, the number of trucks exceeded 2,000, and the number of motorcycles is approaching 300. In the Climate and Nature Protection Action Plan, the government supports the greening of road transport, which emits significant pollutants, with several measures. Thanks to the state incentives provided in the Green Bus Program, almost one and a half hundred buses serve the comfort of passengers, mainly in public transport in big cities. The continuation and further development of the program is partially covered by the quota surplus sold to Germany from the Hungarian emission reduction - they wrote.
With the support of the European Network Financing Facility (CEF), the domestic alternative charging infrastructure will also increase with new elements that fit into the international network - highlighted the EM. Thanks to the investments that ensure national coverage, drivers will be able to set off more confidently, so that electric cars and trucks can become even more popular and in demand. Through more predictable and comfortable climate-friendly mobility, air pollution and noise pollution in domestic settlements are reduced - they emphasized.
Hungary is not only taking its part as a user in the green turn of the vehicle industry, as it becomes a European battery production center alongside Germany, and thanks to the world-class ZalaZONE test track, it also has outstanding capabilities in sectoral research and development, the announcement states.
