The General Offices of Eight Departments, including the Ministry of Commerce, have jointly issued the "2026 Implementation Rules for Subsidies on Trading in Old Cars for New Ones". These rules mandate that all regions must adhere to fair competition review standards. They emphasize the need to support the unrestricted participation of all types of business entities in the old-for-new car trade-in initiative. Furthermore, the rules explicitly forbid the practice of designating specific enterprises for the sale of old cars and prohibit the creation of additional subsidy catalogs or enterprise lists that are regionally biased or oriented towards specific technologies/products.
