In 2024, the national subsidy policy was introduced, and the red flag followed up overnight to start the first shot of "trade-in"

The 2024 Beijing Auto Show officially opened the public day today. I believe many friends have planned to go to the scene to enjoy the car. And friends who plan to change cars in the near future should pay attention. If you are not careful, you may miss the fixed subsidy of 10,000 yuan!

Recently, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Automobile Trade-in Subsidies (hereinafter referred to as the Detailed Rules), which clarified the subsidy policy for automobile trade-in funds.

The scope and standards of subsidies are defined in the Detailed Rules: from the date of issuance of the Detailed Rules to December 31, 2024, individual consumers who scrap fuel passenger cars with national emission standards of Class III and below or new energy passenger cars registered before April 30, 2018, and buy new passenger cars that meet the energy-saving requirements, can enjoy a one-time fixed subsidy. Among them, those who scrap the above two types of old passenger cars and buy qualified new energy passenger cars will be subsidized by 10 thousand yuan; A subsidy of 7,000 yuan will be given to scrapped passenger cars with national emission standards of Class III and below (gasoline passenger cars registered before June 30, 2011, diesel passenger cars registered before June 30, 2013 and passenger cars with other fuel types) and purchased passenger cars with a displacement of 2.0 liters and below.

The specific application process of subsidies is as follows: individual consumers who intend to apply for automobile trade-in subsidies should fill in the application materials by logging into the website of the national automobile circulation information management system or the "automobile trade-in" applet before January 10, 2025, and the relevant materials should be obtained from the date of issuance of the Detailed Rules to December 31, 2024.

At the same time, consumers and friends need to pay attention, and the detailed rules clarify the requirements for supervision and management: relevant local departments should do a good job in subsidizing the old-for-new vehicles according to their duties and strengthen supervision and management. All localities shall not require that scrapped cars be sold to designated enterprises, and shall not set up a list of subsidies or enterprises with regional and technical product orientation. All localities should set up a telephone hotline for car trade-in, respond to public demands in time, and accept social supervision. Friends who want to get subsidies should call the hotline for detailed consultation before replacement, and beware of people with ulterior motives taking the opportunity to cheat.

Just after the "Rules" were officially released, we learned from the automobile official that Hongqi Automobile actively responded to the "Rules" and became the brand that started the first shot of "trade-in" this year, showing its "eldest son" demeanor.

Editor’s comment:

The opening year of China automobile market in 2024 was the news of successive price reductions by major brands, and now the Detailed Rules jointly issued by seven ministries and commissions further stimulated the market. However, as of the time of publication of this article, we have not received any news that other brands have entered a new round of subsidies, which shows that Hongqi Automobile has responded quickly to the policy. At the same time, the maximum subsidy of 50,000 yuan for all models can also be said to be rare in the industry. As the first luxury brand in its own brand, the market and consumers have a very high recognition of Hongqi, and this subsidy policy for Hongqi covers its best-selling models, which is an opportunity for consumers not to be missed. At the same time, we also look forward to the follow-up actions of other brands. After all, the promulgation of the Detailed Rules is good news for consumers and manufacturers.
