The rural auto promotion program generally does not include models such as sedans, SUVs, or MPVs. Only minibuses, light trucks, and motorcycles are covered. The rural auto promotion is a pro-farmer policy proposed by the State Council in 2009, which not only meets the needs of benefiting and strengthening agriculture but also serves as an important measure to stimulate consumption and production. The rural auto promotion not only provides farmers with rural household registration preferential purchase subsidies and tax reductions but also stimulates economic consumption to a certain extent and revitalizes the automotive industry. For example, the Chengdu Wanyou is a vehicle with high ground clearance, low fuel consumption, high quality, low price, and strong load capacity, making it suitable for regional markets. In terms of engine usage, this vehicle is equipped with the 4L88 engine, a brand-new product jointly developed by Changchai and Great Wall, with a displacement of 2.8 liters and a power output of 65kW. It also comes with a PM injection pump and Bosch P injectors from Germany. The engine's fuel consumption rate is significantly reduced, with fuel consumption below 6 liters per 100 kilometers, showcasing outstanding fuel-saving performance. Chengdu Daxingda Auto: Excellent fuel-saving performance, leading in vehicle length and space volume among similar models. Utilizing the latest technology, it achieves excellent fuel-saving performance with a fuel consumption of only 6.25-6.5L per 100 kilometers. Meanwhile, the vehicle length is 3.868 meters, width is 1.528 meters, and height is 1.848 meters.
As an old farmer who has lived in the countryside for many years, I am very familiar with the automobile rural promotion policy. Common affordable models include the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV electric car, which is small, flexible, and costs less than 50,000 yuan after subsidies, making it suitable for short-distance cargo transport in villages. The Changan Star series of minivans have spacious interiors, with rear compartments capable of carrying crops, and maintenance points are available in every township. The Great Wall Wingle pickup truck is a tough choice, able to withstand bumpy roads, and saves more than 8,000 yuan with government subsidies. There are also practical small trucks like the Dongfeng Xiaokang, which have strong load-bearing capacity. The policy offers many benefits, with energy-saving and environmentally friendly models enjoying higher subsidies. Buying these vehicles saves fuel and is cost-effective, and rural families are recommended to choose models with low maintenance costs.
