China Adds 599 Models To Latest Vehicle Catalogue

China NEV Tax Exemption List has expanded to 599 vehicle models in the latest national catalogue released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on August 13. The 88th list includes 18 energy-saving models and 581 new energy vehicle models that meet national energy-saving standards and qualify for applicable tax reductions or exemptions. The latest publication covers a broad mix of passenger and commercial vehicles, highlighting the continued expansion of China’s policy-supported electrified vehicle market and the range of technologies being recognized under the national framework.

Multiple Electrified And Energy-Saving Technologies Included

The catalogue covers energy-saving passenger vehicles, energy-saving light-duty commercial vehicles and energy-saving heavy-duty commercial vehicles, alongside several categories of new energy vehicles. These include plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicles, battery electric commercial vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric commercial vehicles and fuel cell electric commercial vehicles. The breadth of the list shows that eligibility is not limited to battery electric passenger cars, but extends across multiple propulsion technologies and commercial vehicle applications that meet the required national standards.

Major Chinese Automakers Represented

A wide group of Chinese automakers is represented in the latest catalogue, including Great Wall Motor, Changan Automobile, Xiaomi EV, Dongfeng Motor, Geely and BYD.
