China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) finalized the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) mandate policy on September 27, 2017. The NEV mandate in China is a modified version of California’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, with goals of promoting new energy vehicles and providing additional compliance flexibility to the existing fuel consumption regulation. This policy applies only to passenger cars and will formally take effect on April 1, 2018. The rule specifies NEV credit targets for two years - 10% of the conventional passenger vehicle market in 2019 and 12% in 2020.   In this update, the document provides a general introduction to working of NEV mandate policy, evaluates the potential impacts of this policy and highlights the major differences between the final rule and the interim proposal.

On January 1, 2017, China implemented an updated subsidy program for battery electric vehicles (BEVs); plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), including extended-range vehicles; and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs)—together commonly called new energy vehicles (NEVs). A jointly issued policy update on December 29, 2016, by China’s Ministry of Finance (MOF), Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), and National Development and Reform Commission detailed the updated program design and adjusted subsidy amounts. The current policy, which will be valid through 2020 (called 2017–2020 Policy Adjustment hereafter), represents the sixth adjustment to the original policy introduced in 2009. The 2017–2020 Policy Adjustment details subsidies for manufacturers rather than end-users and features the phase down of a national subsidy, tightened vehicle qualification requirements, improved incentive design, and robust anti-fraud and enforcement measures. Details of the new policy and a comparison with other markets are also included in this document.
