Análise de viabilidade econômica de um automóvel híbrido

Abstract

The proximity of a fossil fuel shortage and other issues linked to the use of that end up by making the substitution of the oil byproducts necessary. A solution that emerges to solve those issues is the electric automobiles. The present paper presents an economic viability assessment of a hybrid automobile in the city of Santa Maria-RS. Some situations were simulated, the first, that of an ordinary driver, and the second, that of a generic taxi driver from Santa Maria and at the end, other spreadsheets were simulated with the average of the km/year run by a driver with figures reaching between 30,000 and 60,000 ranging every ten to ten thousand in order to foresee under which aspects the investment in the hybrid automobile start to be viable. In the first case, the hybrid cars show to be very unviable. In the second case, with an average of km/year run by a taxi driver in Santa Maria assessed around 50,000, the deducted paybacks resulted in 5 years, the VPL in R$ 4,356.59 and the VAUE in R$ 1,017.33, showing to be viable. With the annual run distances above the 40,000 km/year the paybacks have already started to become interesting, waving as viable scenarios, however the high purchase value of the vehicle must not be ignored, not every person will be able to make this financial input. It is concluded thus that, for the electric vehicles to become a reality, a lot more tax incentive must be implanted by the government and probably the hybrid vehicles will make the transition between the automobiles with ICE and the pure electric.
