  The Ministry of Commerce emphasized to promote the consumption of new energy vehicles, encourage the allocation of number plates in restricted areas to tilt towards new energy vehicles, support car-free families to purchase the first new energy family car, and study specific measures for unlimited purchases.

All regions can give consumers comprehensive incentives for purchasing new energy vehicles in charging, traffic, parking and other use links, promote the electrification of public vehicles, and consolidate the growth momentum of the new energy vehicle market.

  The Ministry of Commerce pointed out that by increasing the efforts of automobiles to promote consumption, localities can introduce or continue new car purchase subsidy policies, and the subsidy conditions for new car production areas and brands should be fair and just.

  The Ministry of Commerce proposes to carry out the exchange of old cars for new ones, and regions with conditions can provide subsidies to the elimination of vehicles with National III and below emission standards and purchase new cars, and increase the subsidy amount for new energy vehicles.

Guide automobile production and distribution companies to provide supporting concessions on the basis of government subsidies to amplify the effect of government subsidies.

Encourage support policies such as financial rewards and tax incentives to auto companies that carry out "old-for-new" promotional activities and reach a certain number or amount.

  The Ministry of Commerce requires that the lifting of restrictions on pickup trucks entering cities be accelerated, and the functions of pickup trucks for both passenger and cargo purposes should be fully utilized. In areas where pickup truck entry restrictions have not yet been removed, the relevant departments should actively coordinate to promote the complete cancellation of pickup truck entry restrictions.

For areas that do not have the conditions to completely cancel the city, actively adopt methods such as regional, road segment, and time period to release restrictions on entering the city, implement refined management of pickup trucks entering the city, and gradually realize the complete removal of restrictions on entering the city.
