APPROVAL IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Law encourages use of unconventional vehicles
Santo Domingo
The Chamber of Deputies approved in two consecutive readings the draft Law of Incentive to the importation of unconventional vehicles, a proposal of the deputy of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) by Santiago, Victor Suarez.
The PLD legislator explained that this law is of paramount importance in local markets due to the instability of oil prices in international markets.
"This law seeks to meet the country's commitments to international conventions on the protection of the environment, through promoting biodiversity and reducing environmental pollution, to ensure a healthy and balanced environment for all Dominicans," spokesman also emphasized the PLD in the House.
The deputy said that encouraging the use of clean energy in the country will be the first impetus for the country's vehicle fleet to avoid the emission of pollutants and to encourage less use of oil, thus reducing demand for foreign currencies.
He explained that due to the high cost of these vehicles is proposed that the importer receives as an incentive to reduce by 50 percent the customs duties for import, and the payment of the first plate as regulated now.
Hybrid-electric
The approved project defined as unconventional hybrid-electric vehicles:
For propulsion those using a combination of two systems, which consumes energy from a fuel consisting of an internal combustion engine, and the other system is composed of the electric battery and motor generators installed in the vehicle, where a car's electronic system decides which engine to use and when.
Both systems, by design, are installed in the vehicle by means of a parallel or series configuration.
Furthermore, the hydrogen vehicle: a car using diatomic hydrogen as its primary energy source for propulsion.
Also, the compressed air vehicle is a transport vehicle that operates on pressurized air, which is used to drive a turbine or motor, which functions as a propellant.
