本文评估了未来燃料电池汽车（FCV）在美国的铂租赁计划的可行性。通过在车辆的前期成本中内化铂金的剩余价值，铂金租赁可以为消费者节省成本。我们对几种租赁方案进行了评估，以估计潜在的现金节省。研究得出结论，在理想条件下，与无租赁方案相比，铂金的前期价格可降低40%。然而，即使租金略有增加，也会大大减少这些节省。收益取决于贷款风险最小化的程度，以及该工具的铂金含量。在市场渗透的初始阶段，这些好处将是最大的，当时技术还没有得到充分的证明，铂的含量最高。为了确保低租赁率，政府的支持可能是必要的，以尽量减少风险和借贷成本，并优化铂回收。(c)2009年教授T。Nejat Veziroglu。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This paper evaluates the feasibility of a platinum leasing program for future fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) in the United States. By internalizing the residual value of platinum in the vehicle's upfront cost, a platinum lease may offer cost savings to the consumer. Several leasing scenarios were evaluated to estimate potential cash savings.The study concludes that under ideal conditions, the upfront price of platinum could be reduced by 40% compared to a no-lease scenario. However, even small increases in the lease rate greatly reduce these savings. The benefits depend on the extent to which lending risks are minimized, and on the vehicle's platinum loading. These benefits will be greatest during initial stages of market penetration, when the technology is less proven and platinum loadings are highest. To ensure low lease rates, governmental support is likely necessary, both to minimize risk exposure and borrowing costs, and to optimize platinum recovery. (c) 2009 Professor T. Nejat Veziroglu.
