Project Overview

      On October 1, 2014, the second phase of “Intelligent Electric Vehicle Development Strategies and Action Plans” was revised. The low-carbon island policy was implemented by combining large electric passenger cars promoted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and the Environmental Protection Administration. To reduce air pollution, the Executive Yuan announced on December 21, 2017 that 10,000 large passenger vehicles will be fully electrified by 2030.To implement this policy objective, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications formulated large passenger car promotion strategies and practices in 2018, along with proposed strategy implementation jobs and ministerial division of labor, in order to continue implementing the development of large electric passenger cars.

       Since 2019, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has mandated that all subsidized large passenger cars (including demonstration plans and general plans) must include pertinent data so that the Institute of Transportation and the Directorate General of Highways, MOTC can conduct analysis. To facilitate the accumulation of vehicle performance and characteristics imported into demonstration plans and general plans, the Institute of Transportation established an operational monitoring and management platform for large passenger vehicles and collected and analyzed database performance data continuously to monitor operational key indicators and key issues and to serve as references for annual evaluation data in demonstration plans and general plans.

       In response to the three-year, 500-unit large passenger car demonstration plan approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications from 2020 to 2022, the “Operational Guidelines for Subsidies for MOTC Electric Large Passenger Car Demonstration Plan” and the “Operational Guidelines for Review of Vehicle Operator Qualifications in MOTC Electric Large Passenger Car Demonstration Plan” were issued in 2020. In conjunction with the plan promotion schedule, the Institute of Transportation successively accumulated operational performance data of vehicles imported into the demonstration plan. The collection of electric large passenger car operational data for platform maintenance and operation and execute plan progress tracking was continued, achieving the synergistic effects of large passenger car strategy promotions.

Research Results

1. Complete the system transfer operation and hand over the system to the General Administration of Highways
2. Data transmission and collection analysis operations of the operational monitoring and management platform for large electric passenger cars to improve data collection efficiency and quality.
3. Assist in examining the operational data of electric large vehicle car demonstration plans and general plans as a resource for submitting applications for operator vehicle subsidies and maintenance and operation subsidies.
4. The “Amendment to (Draft) the Regulations for Operational Monitoring and Management Platform of Electric Large Passenger Cars” has been completed.

Result Promotion and Benefits

• The data collected by the platform over time can be utilized for research by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, highway bus operators, and academic institutions. It also serves as a resource for promoting the planning and formulation of policy objectives for large electric passenger cars.
• his platform can coordinate with demonstration and general plans to provide the Directorate General of Highways, MOTC, with references for issuing maintenance and operation subsidies and checking availability.
• Conduct a rolling update of the Large Passenger Car Importation Guidelines, create an environment for the importation of large electric passenger cars, and increase intent to use, thereby achieving the goal of reducing air pollution.
• Utilize the operational monitoring and management platform for large passenger cars’ operational data to monitor and inspect the operational performance of demonstration plans. Assist management units with auditing the operational status of operators.
