NINGBO, China, Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On the morning of
May 22nd, the first batch of new
energy sanitation vehicles was successfully delivered at the Luotuo
Subdistrict Sanitation Center in Zhenhai District, Ningbo City.
The Luotuo Subdistrict Sanitation Center has nearly 100
employees and over 30 specialized sanitation vehicles, responsible
for cleaning urban and rural roads and sorting and transporting
household waste in the area. This first batch of "oil-to-electric"
replacements includes three kitchen waste trucks and two other
waste trucks.
In early 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology and seven other departments issued a notice on pilot
projects for comprehensive electrification of public sector
vehicles, designating Zhejiang as
a first-class pilot area. In November of the same year, another
notice named cities like Beijing,
Chengdu, and Ningbo as the first 15 pilot cities for
"oil-to-electric" conversions of public sector vehicles,
encouraging the formation of replicable and scalable experiences
and models to promote full marketization of new energy vehicles and
the development of a green, low-carbon transportation system.
By this time, Ningbo had
already made significant strides. In 2022, the State Grid Zhejiang
Electric Power Ningbo Zhenhai District Power Supply Company, after
thorough market research, formed a joint venture with the local
government—Ningbo GangYao Smart Energy Co., Ltd.—to explore the
development and cooperation in new energy sectors such as
photovoltaics, energy storage, and vehicle leasing.
In June 2023, the Zhaobaoshan
Subdistrict Sanitation Center piloted the leasing of 15 sanitation
vehicles that had reached their service limit, simultaneously
installing charging piles. GangYao provided comprehensive follow-up
maintenance services for the vehicles. Nearly a year of trial
operation proved that this could reduce the center's monthly
vehicle management and operation costs by over 80%, recouping
leasing costs within five years.
Ningbo's exploration of the
leasing "oil-to-electric" model for public sector vehicles has not
only simplified procurement and approval processes, avoiding high
upfront vehicle purchase costs but also provided comprehensive and
worry-free post-use management and maintenance services, creating a
positive demonstration effect. To date, in addition to the
continuous updating of sanitation vehicles, the number of
"oil-to-electric" conversions for urban logistics and distribution
vehicles, including those for logistics, supermarkets, and fresh
produce, has exceeded 200 within a year.
