China expands support for RV camping and tuning: 17 measures and 40 pilot cities
Original source: m.sohu.com

In Brief

China's Ministry of Commerce issued 17 measures to boost the aftermarket, including RV camping support and legalizing tuning. 40 pilot cities were selected for reforms.

China's Ministry of Commerce, together with other agencies, released a package of 17 measures aimed at boosting automobile consumption. The focus is on the aftermarket: tuning, RV camping, motorsport, rental, and used-car trade. 40 pilot cities will test new approaches, including simplifying traffic rules for RVs and building campsites with infrastructure (water, electricity, medical care).

Among the measures is simplified car registration: real-time exchange of compliance certificates allows buyers to purchase, pay taxes, and get plates in one day. It is expected that over 20 million vehicles will benefit annually. Tuning will be legalized according to approved lists, and manufacturers must not restrict choice of repair centers.

Experts note that with a fleet of 370 million vehicles (over half older than 7 years), this sector becomes a trillion-yuan industry. New rules simplify campsite registration and encourage affordable RVs. Pilot cities include Wuhan (information platforms), Shiyan (car culture), Tianjin (tuning, classic cars, motorsport), Shenyang (used cars), Yangzhou (RV camping), and Weinan (recycling).
