Automatic panali: weight as a new criterion?

The project had already been mentioned, therefore fired from the finance invoice for 2020, before being presented by some deputies. Sun, SUVs, these models that all motorists appear their build and many technologies. But if the SUV It could suffer from the appearance of a penalty related to the mass, electric cars could also undergo the consequences. And in the latter case, will the ecological bonus be enough to convince motorists to move on to Electric?

What conditions for weight penalty?

It is on the occasion of the Convention of climatic citizensWhere citizens were able to create a list of proposals in favor of the decrease in CO2 emissions, that the idea of ​​a weight linked to the weight in the automotive sector has re -emerged.
According to a table unveiled by BFMTV, the conditions would be as follows:

– All vehicles above 1.4 tons would be subject to a penalty of 10 euros per kilo
– vehicles whose weight is between 1.2 and 1.4 tons would not be subject to any penalty
– vehicles lower than 800 kg could benefit from a € 4,000 bonus

And the latter rule can make you smile, when you know that even the smallest vehicles on the market are greater than 800 kg (example: THE Peugeot 108 weighs 840 kg). Likewise, a large majority of vehicles exceeds 1.4 tons and will therefore be subject to this penalty. In calculations, the total recipe for this weight tax would be 1.2 billion euros.

Electric, hybrid, hybrid and hybrids with negotiable hybrids?

Another point that may seem inconsistent: the Hybrid vehicles, rechargeable and electric hybrids Today they are benefited by the ecological bonus and this in order to motivate motorists to head towards these cleaner models before making part of the current automotive pollution disappear. However, some batteries in the electric models can be heavy and penalize the vehicle, as in the case for Renault Zoe, which is over 1500 kg.

Another example: the 3008Muscle SUV, available in a rechargeable hybrid version. Although this model is today an advantage of an ecological bonus of € 2000, with the arrival of the penalty penalty, it would be subject to a fee of € 4,530 due to its 1853 kg. In all cases where the weight of the vehicle is substantial, the ecological bonus will allow only the decline in the penalty related to the penalty and not a drop in the price of the vehicle as today.

A penalty for cars over 1800 kg

It is on the occasion of 2021 Financial invoice that the government spoke of the topic. It turns out that a weight penalty will be well created but should be less penalizing than expected, since only the models of over 1800 kg will be taxed for their weight. The BFMTV.com site reveals that the applied penalty will be € 10 per additional kg. For example: an initial Paris of Renault Espace 5 In the 200 horsepower Diesel Motorization weighs 2042 kg, it will therefore be taxed up to € 2420 (€ 10 per kg over 1800 kg). The announcement was made by Barbara Pompili, minister of the ecological transition, who also announced that the electric and hybrid vehicles rechargeable would not have been affected by this penalty. Bruno Le Maire said that the 7 aliter vehicles, that they will be affected since their large dimensions give them a high weight, will be partially exempt from the sanction for large families.

The projects also reported hardening of the ecological penalty, with a penalty that would trigger 123 gr (against 138 gr today) and a penalty of € 1504 for a vehicle at 138 gr (against 50 € today). Motorists are becoming more and more interested in transforming clean models … and light.
