CPCA secretary-general Cui Dongshu said on July 5 the recent adjustment to
vehicle-and-vessel tax for energy‑saving and new‑energy vehicles is a landmark
step toward implementing parity between fuel and electric vehicles and marks the
new‑energy sector’s move from policy support to market‑based maturity via tax
optimization. He said the reform favors full electrification, aligns with the
auto industry’s long‑term high‑quality and market‑balanced development, and that
parity should be implemented by calibrating taxes to technical attributes,
emissions and usage scenarios to match responsibilities and ensure fair tax
burdens rather than by blunt equalization.
