Since 2009, EPA has taken over the all subsidy applications. In order to execute the subsidy for the new purchase or modified to hybrid-LPG vehicles, this project has been assigned by EPA, according to “Purchase or modify to Hybrid-LPG Vehicle Subsidy Regulation” to establish the standard operation procedures (S.O.P) for the subsidy performing in a way of justification, open and high efficiency to review and inspect the Hybrid-LPG Vehicle subsidy applications. This project has finished the review, inspection and appropriation of Hybrid-LPG Vehicle subsidy application submitted by LPG re-equipping companies in 12 months. There were 2,013application cases in 2010, and the total Hybrid-LPG Vehicle subsidy amount was NT$44,925,000(for the Taxi cars) and NT$5,400,000 as the fuel coupons (for the private cars). Comparing with 2009, application cases increase 12.3% that means re-equipping rate stably grow up. In the tasks of inspection, this project has completed 88 on-site inspections for re-equipping Hybrid-LPG Vehicles, comparing 1,516 cars which have re-equipped over one year with their cars’ records and tracing 3,387 cars with their gassing records. Simultaneously, this project has assisted EPA to set-up and expand the “Hybrid-LPG Vehicle Information Management System” and an on-line updating website, including the “Government Organizations Filling In and Submitting Forms System”, the questions response window and news uploading, etc., to provide multi categories’ information for the public’s guides. By statistical analysis we can find this system using frequency is about 26 times per day and near 70% users were satisfied. In the tasks of Emission Authentication for Hybrid-LPG Vehicle Model and executing spot check, this project plans a procedure of emission authentication inspection and Hybrid-LPG Vehicle Model Spot Check; in addition this project also guides 7 re-equipping companies to fill in application cases correctly. Up to June 2011, this project has assisted EPA to finish 80 Emission Authentications and 207 vehicle models. In the tasks of spot inspection, according to the results of re-equipping companies executed quality control by themselves that all conform to new vehicles pollution emission standard, which means promoting Emission Authentication for Hybrid-LPG Vehicle Model and executing spot check can control re-equipping quality effectively, and to insist on re-equipping companies to carry out quality control spot check by themselves. In the tasks of education and coordination, this project organized five promotion conferences for the car factory. This project also organized 3 times system operation courses for the re-equipping companies and government organizations. Besides promotion, this project organized 2 vehicle safety examinations for free. In the tasks of guide brochure, this project has finished editing and modifying of subsidy application cases, the examples menu for applying the Emission Authentication for Hybrid-LPG Vehicle Model and Information Management System, and printed each of them 100 brochures for the re-equipping companies and EPB to refer.
