“3,000 Yuan energy saving subsidy will be ended on the last day of September.” The message has spread widely in auto industry from yesterday. Some auto manufactures have changed their sales policies already. However, reporter has not received any messages from Development and Reform Commission or other official channels.
Industry is eager to verify the message. “We heard that energy saving subsidy will be cut off at the end of this month. We just received the notification from our manufacturer. It said that manufacturers has received message from above already. ” 11 o’clock yesterday, a manager of marketing department of a dealer dialed reporter’s number, and wants to verify the message. After a short while, reporter notices that some auto websites has published relevant reports, and Haima & Wuling Automobile Companies have change promotion polices, and announce new activates. There are the fastest moves among auto companies.
Reporter has interviewed a manager of marketing department of a dealer. He said that the original energy saving subsidy offers 3k Yuan for buyer. Because subsided autoes prices are between 10- 100 thousand Yuan, 3k cut will influence consumer performance. We have 2 types in energy saving vehicles subsidy list, and both of them still have 100-200 inventory. “We only have couple of days before the announcement publishing. It is such a surprise for us.”
The “Energy- Saving Products Consumer Subsidy” has implemented in June 2010. It promotes sales of energy saving cars, but it has not mentioned about the policy end time at that moment. Finance Ministry, Development, Reform Commission and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have announced together in June this year that household electrical appliances included in “Energy- Saving Products Consumer Subsidy” will not take finance subsidy any more.
