Read the following passage carefully:
In an effort to reduce urban air pollution, the State Department of Environment introduced a subsidy scheme for commercial fleet operators who transition from diesel vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). Under the policy, any logistics firm that replaces at least 50% of its active diesel fleet with electric vans receives a 20% tax rebate on annual municipal operational fees. However, the policy explicitly states that fleet operators who receive federal grants for green technology adoption are ineligible for this municipal tax rebate.
Based strictly on the passage above, which of the following conclusions must logically follow?
- A logistics firm that replaces 60% of its diesel fleet with electric vans and receives no federal green technology grants will qualify for the 20% municipal tax rebate.Cevap
- BElectric vans are significantly more cost-effective to maintain over five years than diesel vehicles for commercial logistics firms.
- CThe State Department of Environment assumes that commercial fleet operators are the primary source of air pollution in urban areas.
- DLogistics firms replacing less than 50% of their fleet with electric vehicles are completely prohibited from operating in urban areas.
Cevap
A logistics firm that replaces 60% of its diesel fleet with electric vans and receives no federal green technology grants will qualify for the 20% municipal tax rebate.
The passage outlines two specific requirements for the tax rebate: replacing at least 50% of active diesel fleet with electric vans, and not receiving federal green technology grants. A firm replacing 60% without federal grants satisfies both positive and negative conditions stated in the policy.
