Shenzhen, the headquarters of BYD, also promotes the use of new or clean energy for tourist passenger vehicles, gardening vehicles, and mechanical equipment. Companies can enjoy subsidies of up to RMB 50,000 per vehicle when acquiring eligible new energy tourism passenger vehicles, new energy gardening operation vehicles, and mechanical equipment.
Furthermore, Shenzhen plans to encourage the replacement of fuel-powered official vehicles, police vehicles, and vehicles used by state-owned enterprises with NEVs when they are scrapped.
