Government procurement prioritizes acquisition of NEVs

If new energy vehicles can meet actual usage needs, their proportion in the total annual procurement of official vehicles should not be less than 30 percent in principle, the Ministry of Finance said in a notice unveiled on Monday via its website.

The notice stipulated that for official vehicles to be characterized by relatively stable routes, specific usage scenarios and primarily operating within the confines of urban areas, the procurement policy should, in principle, prioritize the use of 100 percent NEVs.

Additionally, when engaging in vehicle leasing services, there should be a preferential consideration for leasing NEVs.
