法國(guó)將在2040年前禁售汽油柴油車(chē)

法國(guó)新任環(huán)境部長(zhǎng)近日宣布，將在2050年前使法國(guó)成為碳零排放國(guó)家。2040年之前法國(guó)將全面禁止銷(xiāo)售汽油和柴油汽車(chē)。其他一些國(guó)家也制定了相關(guān)目標(biāo)。

France is set to ban the sale of any car that uses petrol or diesel fuel by 2040, in what the ecology minister called a "revolution".

法國(guó)將于2040年之前禁止任何汽油或柴油汽車(chē)的銷(xiāo)售，此舉被環(huán)境部長(zhǎng)稱(chēng)為一次“革命”。

Nicolas Hulot announced the planned ban on fossil fuel vehicles as part of a renewed commitment to the Paris climate deal.

法國(guó)新任環(huán)境部長(zhǎng)尼古拉斯-于勒宣布將按計(jì)劃禁售化石燃料汽車(chē)，這是對(duì)巴黎氣候協(xié)定的再次承諾。

He said France planned to become carbon neutral by 2050.

他表示，法國(guó)計(jì)劃在2050年之前實(shí)現(xiàn)碳平衡。

Hybrid cars make up about 3.5% of the French market, with pure electric vehicles accounting for just 1.2%.

混合動(dòng)力車(chē)約占法國(guó)汽車(chē)市場(chǎng)份額的3.5%，純電動(dòng)汽車(chē)僅占1.2%。

It is not yet clear what will happen to existing fossil fuel vehicles still in use in 2040.

目前尚不清楚，2040年仍在使用中的現(xiàn)存化石燃料汽車(chē)將如何處置。

Mr Hulot, a veteran environmental campaigner, was appointed by new French President Emmanuel Macron. Mr Macron has openly criticised US environmental policy, urging Donald Trump to "make our planet great again".

于勒是資深的環(huán)保運(yùn)動(dòng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，在新任法國(guó)總統(tǒng)埃馬紐埃爾•馬克龍的任命下?lián)苇h(huán)境部長(zhǎng)。馬克龍?jiān)_(kāi)批評(píng)美國(guó)的環(huán)境政策，敦促唐納德·特朗普“讓我們的地球再次偉大”。

President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement in June was explicitly named as a factor in France's new vehicle plan.

六月特朗普總統(tǒng)決定退出巴黎氣候變化協(xié)定，這無(wú)疑是促成法國(guó)新的汽車(chē)政策的一個(gè)因素。

"France has decided to become carbon neutral by 2050 following the US decision," Mr Hulot said, adding that the government would have to make investments to meet that target.

于勒說(shuō)：“由于美國(guó)的退出，法國(guó)決定在2050年之前實(shí)現(xiàn)碳平衡”，他又補(bǔ)充道，政府必須通過(guò)投資來(lái)達(dá)到這一目標(biāo)。

Poorer households would receive financial assistance to replace older, more polluting vehicles with cleaner ones, he said.

于勒表示，貧困家庭用環(huán)保車(chē)代替舊的、污染嚴(yán)重的車(chē)時(shí)會(huì)有經(jīng)濟(jì)上的支持。

Earlier this week, car manufacturer Volvo said all of its new car models would be at least partly electric from 2019, an announcement referenced by Mr Hulot.

本周早些時(shí)候，汽車(chē)制造商沃爾沃宣布從2019年起，旗下所有新車(chē)型都將至少是部分電動(dòng)的，于勒也提到了這一公告。

He said he believes French car manufacturers - including brands such as Peugeot-Citroen and Renault - would meet the challenge, although he acknowledged it would be difficult. Renault's "Zoe" electric vehicle range is one of the most popular in Europe.

他說(shuō)盡管有困難，他仍相信包括標(biāo)致-雪鐵龍和雷諾在內(nèi)的法國(guó)汽車(chē)制造商都會(huì)迎接這一挑戰(zhàn)。雷諾的Zoe電動(dòng)車(chē)系列是歐洲是最受歡迎的品牌之一。

However, traditional fossil fuel vehicles account for about 95% of the European market.

不過(guò)，傳統(tǒng)的化石燃料汽車(chē)約占?xì)W洲市場(chǎng)的95%。

Other targets set in the French environmental plan include ending coal power plants by 2022, reducing nuclear power to 50% of total output by 2025, and ending the issuance of new oil and gas exploration licences.

法國(guó)環(huán)境計(jì)劃設(shè)定的其他目標(biāo)包括，在2022年之前關(guān)閉所有火電廠，在2025年之前將核能輸出量降低至電量總輸出量的50%，終止對(duì)新勘探石油和天然氣許可證的發(fā)放。

Several French cities struggle with high levels of air pollution, including Paris, which endured several days of peak pollution in March.

法國(guó)幾個(gè)城市均飽受?chē)?yán)重空氣污染之苦，巴黎在三月份遭受了數(shù)日的嚴(yán)重污染。

The capital has implemented a range of measures to cut down on cars, but air pollution is also a problem in picturesque mountain regions.

巴黎已經(jīng)實(shí)施了一系列措施來(lái)減少汽車(chē)數(shù)量，然而在風(fēng)景如畫(huà)的山區(qū)，空氣污染仍然是個(gè)問(wèn)題。

Last month, a woman took the French state to court over what she said was a failure to protect her health from the effects of air pollution in Paris.

上周，一位女士把法國(guó)政府告上法庭，她聲稱(chēng)政府沒(méi)能保護(hù)她的健康免受巴黎空氣污染的侵害。

Norway, which is the leader in the use of electric cars in Europe, wants to move to electric-only vehicles by 2025, as does the Netherlands. Both Germany and India have proposed similar measures with a target of 2030.

作為歐洲使用電動(dòng)汽車(chē)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，挪威想要像荷蘭一樣在2025年之前實(shí)現(xiàn)所有汽車(chē)全部純電動(dòng)。德國(guó)和印度也提出了類(lèi)似措施，要在2030年達(dá)成相應(yīng)目標(biāo)。
