商務部發汽車銷售新規 4S店壟斷銷售模式終結

Auto trading companies will no longer need to gain authorization from automobile brand owners to sell vehicles from July, according to new measures unveiled by the Ministry of Commerce (MOC).

根據商務部發布的新辦法，7月起，汽車經銷商銷售汽車將不再需要獲得汽車品牌商授權。

The preceding measures implemented since 2005, which require that all car dealers secure authorization from brand owners, will be repealed from July 1, 2017, the MOC said in a statement.

此前的辦法2005年起實施，要求所有汽車經銷商獲得品牌商授權。商務部在聲明中稱，舊辦法將自2017年7月1日起廢止。

The authorization system had helped safeguard market order and contributed to the rapid development of the Chinese auto market, the statement said.

聲明稱，授權制度曾有助於維護市場秩序，促進我國汽車市場的迅速發展。

However, the system also gave rise to monopolistic practices, dragged on competition and made auto parts expensive.

但它也助長了壟斷行爲，阻礙競爭，導致汽車零配件價格過高。

In the future, both authorized and unauthorized car sales companies will be allowed to operate, according to the new measures.

根據新辦法，在未來，授權和非授權汽車經銷商均可開展經營。

"Automobile marketplaces, stores and e-commerce outlets will be the new ways to sell cars in China," the MOC said.

商務部表示：“汽車超市、汽車賣場、汽車電商將成爲我國新的汽車銷售形式。”

The new measures will help improve sales and after-sales services across different auto brands, an approach that will save resources, improve efficiency and improve services.

新辦法將有助於提升跨汽車品牌的銷售和售後服務，此舉將節約資源、提高效率、提升服務。
