As China's accession to the WTO approaches, some standards that comply with international regulations are beginning to appear in China's industries.
For example, the Beijing City "Light Vehicle Exhaust Pollutant Emission Standards" came into effect on January 1, 1999.
The "Emission Standards for Exhaust Pollutants from Light-Duty Vehicles" stipulates that passenger vehicles with a maximum gross mass of less than or equal to 2.5 tons among light-duty vehicles shall implement this standard from January 1, 1999; other passenger vehicles and freight vehicles with a factory-determined maximum gross mass not exceeding 3.5 tons shall implement this standard from January 1, 2001.
What is the standard for this?
The testing of light-duty motor vehicle emissions must comply with nationally approved testing methods and those specified in the "Light-Duty Vehicle Exhaust Pollutant Emission Standards." Entities engaged in motor vehicle emissions testing must be approved by the State Environmental Protection Administration or the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau and must be subject to oversight and inspection.
This is the fourth article of the regulation.
There's also a fifth article: All entities and individuals purchasing the aforementioned motor vehicles in Beijing or applying for Beijing motor vehicle licenses for them must comply with national and municipal standards. The Municipal Public Security Traffic Administration will not issue licenses to vehicles that don't meet these standards or don't have a pollutant emission certificate.
That is to say, starting from January 1, 1999, the purchase of passenger vehicles less than 2.5 tons requires approval from the State Environmental Protection Administration or the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau before a license plate can be issued.
From January 1, 2001, the purchase of passenger and cargo vehicles under 3.5 tons must also be approved by the State Environmental Protection Administration or the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.
To put it simply, if you buy a small-displacement car in Beijing, don't expect to get a license plate.
A carburetor engine cannot possibly pass the standards set by the State Environmental Protection Administration or the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, and even if you pass, you will not be given a license.
After several months of investigation, the first batch of emission-qualified models were finally released.
Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile Co., Ltd. has three models that meet the standards: Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Fukang ZX1.4L, ZX1.6L and Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Fukang 988.
Shanghai Volkswagen also has three models that meet the standards: Santana 2000, 330K8M, 330K8B, and 330K8D.
Changqi Volkswagen has seven models that meet the standards: five Jetta models and two Audi models.
Beijing Jeep Co., Ltd. has three models: two BJ202 models and one BJ7250 model.
Changan Automobile also has four Hongqi models that have qualified.
Changan Alto SC7080 also meets the standards.
Sanjiang Renault has five models.
At the bottom of the list is the only private enterprise, Nanwan Automobile.
Nanwan Auto has both gains and losses. The Panda and Light of Happiness, which were originally best-sellers in Beijing, have been eliminated, but six other models have made it into the list of qualified models.
Among these seven models, there is one Qingfeng model, which is the NWQF1.3L model; there are three Xiongfeng models: NWXF1.8L, NWXF1.8LA and NWXF1.8T; and two Hurricanes: NWJFA and NWJFB.
Judging from the types of vehicles shortlisted, South Bay cannot be said to be a loser.
Wan Feng looked at the list, feeling neither happy nor disappointed.
Panda can move to other second-tier and lower cities. The Light of Happiness is not designed for first-tier cities like Beijing. It is inappropriate for a city like Beijing to have minivans everywhere on the streets.
The Light of Happiness has been running openly in Beijing for several years, which is already an advantage.
It is positioned as a small truck in rural areas, and its future market will be small cities below the third tier and rural areas.
As for the models that have already obtained the standards, it does not mean that they are safe. They will be eliminated in two years just like the Qingfeng car.
In the future, if large-displacement cars want to enter first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, they will all have to use electronic fuel injection engines.
Although there were no problems before the National II Standard in 2007, Wan Feng still planned to change the engine strategy in advance.
Being one step ahead puts you in an active position.
Wan Feng made a prompt decision. Except for the small-displacement Panda and Light of Happiness, all other vehicles were switched to electronic fuel injection engines from August 1, 1999. No matter whether it was direct injection or multi-point electronic fuel injection, as long as it was injected, it would be fine.
Carbureted engines are now only sold to the public and will be completely phased out within three to five years.
As a result, the various types of engines produced by the old factory and Wafang branch of Hongya Power Company, which were originally for self-use, began to be exported, and will gradually switch to the production of electronic fuel injection engines within two years.
All gasoline engines produced by Hongya Power's Inna River Branch and Development Zone Branch have been converted to electronic fuel injection engines for their own use.
Nanwan Group itself is converting engines from its Wei engine plant and Fenghuangshan engine base for internal use.
In the future, after the Bohai Nanzuizi engine and gearbox base is put into use, part of it will be exported and part will be used domestically.
After the decree was issued, engine manufacturers were in a state of chaos. Some were replacing and improving production lines, and adjusting sales channels. It was a bit of a mess.
But this is just a minor adjustment, and calm can be restored in a month.
This has little impact on those involved in car exports.
Lin Lairong continues to smuggle various vehicles made in Nanwan to the Middle East. Currently, there are traces of Juchuang Trade in Yilang, Yila, Afghanistan, and Syria. Nanwan cars are even sold in several countries in West Asia.
The best-selling product in these countries is naturally pickup trucks. It can be said that most of the pickup trucks produced in West Gulf are sent to the Middle East.
However, there are also other cars from Nanwan in Yilang and Yila, especially Yilang. Nowadays, almost all the cars on the avenue that are not products from the 1980s are from Nanwan.
