原标题：到今年3月底日本氢燃料电池巴士将达80辆

中国石化新闻网讯 据1月13日Gas world报道，到3月底，日本预计将拥有近80辆氢燃料电池巴士。

根据调查，截至上一财年末，共有33辆燃料电池巴士投入使用，另外45辆将在本财年投入使用。该国环境部正在对燃料电池公交车的引进提供补贴，这项补贴占燃料电池公交车车辆首次引进成本的一半，占此前推出燃料电池巴士成本的三分之一。

然而，即使有补贴，购买一辆燃料电池巴士仍然会给公司带来很大的负担，因此，从本财政年度开始，将采用从租赁公司租用燃料电池巴士的制度。这些租赁公司将利用补贴从丰田购买燃料电池巴士，而当地巴士经营商则向租赁公司租用这些燃料电池巴士。

实际上，只有两家租赁公司（MOBILTOS和丰田金融）被采纳为燃料电池汽车补贴项目的补贴公司。

根据正在实施该项目的环保科学协会网站上的申请书和征集建议书结果，MOBILOTS公司将为10家公司提供租赁服务，分别在东京都和福岛县、崎岖县，而丰田金融也将在神奈川县和爱知县提供租赁服务。

爱知县今年将投放三辆燃料电池巴士，并从丰田金融租赁这些巴士。一辆燃料电池巴士的租期为6年，每月租金为80万日元(合7282美元)。其中两辆将被丰田Oiden公共汽车服务公司用于城市运营，另一辆被用于其他公共服务。

根据Gas Review的独立调查，6家公司将首次使用燃料电池巴士进行预定路线的运营。虽然此前只有1家私营公司使用了燃料电池巴士，但很可能会突然增加到七家。

日本经济产业省(Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)设定了到2020财政年度运营100辆燃料电池巴士的目标，这一目标似乎可以实现。

Japan expected to have 80 hydrogen fuel cell buses by end of March

Japan is expected to have nearly 80 hydrogen fuel cell buses by the end of March, The Gas Review reports.

According to investigations by the Japanese publication, there are 33 fuel cell buses in service as of the end of the last fiscal year, and a further 45 will be placed into service this fiscal year.

In Japan, the Ministry of the Environment is subsidising the introduction of fuel cell buses. The subsidy covers half of the cost of the vehicle for the first introduction and a third of the cost for companies that have previously introduced fuel cell buses.

However, even with the subsidy, purchasing a fuel cell bus still places a large burden on a company, so from this fiscal year, a system for renting fuel cell buses from lease companies is being adopted.

The lease companies use the subsidy to purchase fuel cell buses from Toyota. The operators of local buses then rent the fuel cell buses.

There are actually only two lease companies – MOBILTOS and Toyota Finance – who are adopted as subsidised companies of the fuel cell bus subsidy project.

According to the application, results of calls for proposal on the website of the Environmental Technology Association, who is implementing this project, MOBILOTS was selected as a subsidised company for 10 applications (implemented in Tokyo Metropolis and Fukushima and Saitama Prefectures), and Toyota Finance was accepted likewise for two (implemented in Kanagawa and Aichi Prefectures).

Incidentally, Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, is placing three fuel cell buses into service this year and is renting them from Toyota Finance.

The lease for one fuel cell bus is YEN 800,000 ($7,282) per month on a six-year lease.

Two fuel cell buses are being used for commercial operation in the city-run Toyota Oiden Bus service and another one is being used for events and other public applications.

It also looks like many private companies will place fuel cell buses into operation for the first time this fiscal year.

Although previously only one private company used a fuel cell bus, it is likely that this will suddenly increase to seven companies.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has set a target of 100 fuel cell buses in operation by fiscal 2020, which looks like it will be met.
