Shenzhen Party chief Wang Rong recently replaced his Audi A6 with a Shenzhen-made electric car in a bid to promote green living, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported Thursday.

Officials of Wang’s rank are entitled to a motor vehicle costing up to 350,000 yuan (US$55,000) for official use only, with all expenses paid by the government.

In China, ministers and provincial heads should have cars with an engine displacement of up to 3 liters and a price below 450,000 yuan. For a vice minister-level official, the car should be priced below 350,000 yuan, according to the 1994 regulations.
