On November 4, the Office of the Anyang Municipal Ecological and Environmental Protection Committee announced the issuance and implementation of the Work Plan for the Promotion and Application of New-Energy Vehicles in Anyang.

The plan focuses on three key areas: road transportation by enterprises in major industries, transport operations in restricted-traffic areas, and newly added government vehicles. It sets out industry-specific application scenarios and allocates RMB 100 million (approximately US$15 million) in incentive funding, aiming to make road transportation by key industrial enterprises largely reliant on new-energy vehicles.

Under the subsidy scheme, incentives will be paid directly to vehicle purchasers. Eligible vehicles must be registered locally and fall under the supervision of the relevant industry authorities. Applications will be submitted centrally, with subsidies disbursed directly to recipients on a first-come, first-served basis until the funding cap is reached.

Eligible vehicles must be registered for the first time within Anyang's administrative area between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2027. The qualifying categories include hydrogen fuel-cell heavy-duty trucks, battery-electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks, concrete mixer trucks, muck trucks, sanitation vehicles, landscaping vehicles, road-clearance vehicles, postal and courier vehicles, and bank cash-in-transit vehicles.

Under the scheme, hydrogen fuel-cell heavy-duty trucks qualify for subsidies equivalent to 40% of their purchase price. Eight categories of battery-electric vehicles, including medium- and heavy-duty trucks and concrete mixer trucks, qualify for a 10% subsidy. Battery-electric tractor trucks sold under a vehicle-battery separation model are eligible for a 20% subsidy. Vehicles purchased entirely with public fiscal funds qualify for a 40% subsidy.

The total incentive budget is provisionally set at RMB 100 million (approximately US$15 million). Subsidies will be disbursed in two instalments, with the first covering 50% of the subsidy and the second paid after one or two years, depending on the vehicle category. Projects that have already received similar government subsidies are not eligible for duplicate funding.

The plan also calls for the development of supporting infrastructure, including charging and battery-swapping stations and hydrogen refuelling stations. Dedicated fast-charging and battery-swapping facilities, as well as hydrogen refuelling stations, will be planned near new-energy vehicle operating routes. Anyang will also explore integrated energy hubs offering conventional fuel, gas and hydrogen refuelling, alongside electric vehicle charging and battery swapping. Support will be provided to new-energy vehicle manufacturers to promote the large-scale development of battery-swapping stations.

The city will also encourage new business models for new-energy vehicle operations. Local manufacturers Seazon Motor (XEAZON) and Deli New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. are encouraged to develop integrated "manufacturing, services and operations" models. Vehicle manufacturers and dealers will also be encouraged to offer group-purchase discounts, with companies providing such concessions receiving appropriate support in government procurement projects.

"Promoting new-energy vehicles is one of the key measures for reducing emissions from mobile sources and improving local air quality," an official from the Office of the Anyang Municipal Ecological and Environmental Protection Committee said.

The official added that the plan establishes a coordinated implementation framework by assigning responsibilities to relevant departments, directing financial incentives to vehicle purchasers, and planning charging, battery-swapping and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in parallel. The first-come, first-served funding mechanism is designed to ensure that early adopters benefit sooner, while helping advance efforts to curb diesel-truck pollution, improve air quality and support the healthy development of the local new-energy vehicle industry.

The plan divides implementation responsibilities by industry, with the relevant authorities coordinating the work of counties, county-level cities, districts, enterprises and public institutions:

• Hydrogen fuel-cell heavy-duty trucks and battery-electric tractor trucks using the vehicle-battery separation model: led by the Anyang Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology.
• New-energy concrete mixer trucks: led by the Anyang Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
• New-energy muck trucks, sanitation vehicles, landscaping vehicles and road-clearance vehicles: led by the Anyang Municipal Urban Management Bureau.
• New-energy medium- and heavy-duty commercial trucks: led by the Anyang Municipal Transport Bureau.
• New-energy postal and courier vehicles: led by the Anyang Postal Administration.
• New-energy bank cash-in-transit vehicles: led by the Anyang Branch of the People's Bank of China.
• New-energy medium- and heavy-duty trucks used within enterprises: led by the Anyang Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau.
