Gasgoo.com (Shanghai November 21) - In an effort to cut down administrative costs, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the State Council and the Central Committee of the Communist Party have issued legislation limiting the costs of government cars. According to the new legislation, normal government vehicles will not be priced over 180,000 yuan ($28,357) and will not exceed 1.8 L, the People's Daily reported today. Meanwhile, vehicles used for simple relays and unplanned events will not exceeded 1.6 L and be priced under 120,000 yuan ($18,905).

The legislation was written to help aid business and social interests while also decreasing government expenditures. It was created with the help of industry experts. In principle, the legislation will be reviewed and revised once every year. Manufacturers specifically seeking to market vehicles to government bodies can request their products to be exempt from the legislation.
