More auto trade-ins on policy support

China reported a rapid increase in auto trade-ins, thanks to policy support designed to benefit consumers. The Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday that it had received over 4 million subsidy applications for trade-ins of passenger vehicles as of Monday under a mass renewal program initiated early this year. Currently, people trading in an old car for a new energy vehicle are entitled to a 20,000 yuan ($2,781) subsidy, while those buying a new gas car will get 15,000 yuan.
