Demand will be driven Plug-In in Hybrid Vehicles ------1 8 part by the embrace of hybrid and electric vehicle technologies by local producerssam PSAple and Renault, and by the significant support the French government has begun to offer in terms of subsidized loans, large-scale demonstrations and infrastructure support. Demand will be tempered by the country’stext recession-damaged economy and the high tax- and fee- related costs associated with owning and operating an automobile.

The French market has been a leader in the penetration of light vehicle diesels, registrations of which comprised roughly 80 percent of the total market in 2008. However, French OEMs have also been European leaders in the introduction of alternative fuel vehicles. PSA, for example, has been an early experimenter with many new and fuel efficient powertrain technologies. Peugeot produced several thousand hybrid vehicles for the European commercial market for use as delivery vehicles prior to 2004, but ended the experiment due to the higher cost compared to traditional diesel engines.

Demand for NGVs will remain low in France, with just over 10,000 NGVs of all sizes on the road in 2008 and just over 100 fueling stations, 97 of which are privately owned. The auto industry and government agencies are focused more intently on supporting the propagation of PHEVs and EVs, in part because of France’s structural advantages in terms of electricity generation. Over 75 percent of the country’s electric- ity is produced by low-carbon-dioxide-emitting nuclear power. CHART VIII-1
