Abstract
Owing to the GHG emission and fossil fuel consumption made by the vast amount of motorcycles, Taiwan Government raised the strategy to promote a hundred thousand electric scooters on road in four years. Electric scooter nowadays becomes much acceptable and marketable than ever by adopting detachable lithium-ion battery pack which makes the vehicle lighter to handle, and not necessarily rely on charging infrastructure. However, due to the safety issue of lithium-ion battery, the IDB (Industrial Development Bureau) of MOEA in Taiwan draws up a subsidization program that the detachable lithium-ion battery pack is mandatory required and need to pass safety test of TES-0B-01-01 (Lithium-ion battery pack test method of Taiwan Electric Scooter, based on BATSO-01) which includes electrical, mechanical and environmental tests. In parallel, the performance shall also meet target value set for different categories of vehicle.
Highlights
The registered quantity of motorcycles in Taiwan already exceeds 14 million and accompanies the high petroleum price, the large amount of regular commuters take motorcycles instead of cars for transportation
Taiwan has adopted the fifth phase emission regulation which is equivalent to EU4 since July 2007, the green house gas emitted and fossil fuel consumed by the huge amount of motorcycles is still a long-term issue needs to be solved by Taiwan government
By learning from the unsuccessful experience of promotion on electric scooter during last decade, IDB of Taiwan draws up a thoughtful subsidization program to reach the goal of one hundred thousand electric scooters on road in four years including the subsidy for consumers, the reward for manufacturers, and the subsidy for constructing charging facilities
Summary
The registered quantity of motorcycles in Taiwan already exceeds 14 million and accompanies the high petroleum price, the large amount of regular commuters take motorcycles instead of cars for transportation. This situation certainly increases the environmental loading to the cities. Based on 40 years development and manufacturing experience in motorcycle industry, Taiwan has strong R & D resources, manufacturing infrastructure, service and maintenance system with long time scooter driving culture. This promotion can convert traditional motorcycle manufacturers to fabricate low pollution products and drive local lithiumion battery industry into power battery business segment
