The car recalled the new rules! It will be implemented on July 1!

Attention all car owners

China’s car recall system has a new regulation!

No longer just because there are security risks or problems.

Automobile exhaust emission will not meet the standard in the future.

Car companies should also recall.

The new regulations will be officially implemented on July 1, 2021.

Make the sky bluer, and cars will be recalled for three emission situations.

In 2020, the number of motor vehicles in China will reach 372 million, including 281 million cars; There are more than 1 million cars in 70 cities across the country. In 2019, the total emission of four pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), was 16.038 million tons. Automobile is the main contributor to the air pollution emission of motor vehicles, and its emission of CO, HC, NOx and PM exceeds 90%.

In order to reduce emission pollution, the General Administration of Market Supervision and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment recently formulated and issued the Regulations on the Management of Motor Vehicle Emission Recall (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), which extended the product recall from safety recall to emission recall.

Automobile safety recall system has been implemented for a long time, and everyone is familiar with it, but emission recall is still a new thing. Under what circumstances will motor vehicles be recalled because of emissions?

The "Regulations" give three specific situations:

1. Air pollutants emitted by motor vehicles exceed the standard due to design and production defects;

Second, because it does not meet the specified requirements for environmental protection durability, the air pollutants emitted by motor vehicles exceed the standard;

Third, due to design and production reasons, there are other motor vehicles that do not meet emission standards or unreasonable emissions.

The emission standards involved in the Regulations mainly include GB18352.6-2016 Pollutant Emission Limits and Measurement Methods for Light Vehicles and GB17691-2018 Pollutant Emission Limits and Measurement Methods for Heavy Diesel Vehicles, all of which are the sixth-stage motor vehicle emission standards in China (referred to as "National Six Emission Standards").

The biggest impact on consumers is mainly the emission standards of light vehicles.

According to the requirements, from July 1, 2020, all light vehicles sold and registered should meet the national six emission standards; Before July 1, 2025, the "in-service compliance inspection" of light vehicles in the fifth stage will still implement the relevant requirements of GB18352.5-2013.

The "Regulations" adopt the principle of "old standards for old cars and new standards for new cars" when implementing emission standards, which is in line with legal requirements and management practice.

The "unreasonable discharge situation" mentioned in the third case of the above recall mainly refers to the illegal discharge of air pollutants tested by motor vehicles under standard working conditions that meet the standard limit, but the pollutant discharge exceeds the standard limit under actual working conditions.

For example, in 2015, Volkswagen in Germany installed illegal software in its cars and deliberately evaded the US automobile exhaust emission regulations. The actual pollutant emission of vehicles exceeded the legal standard by 40 times, and it was fined by the United States by 4.3 billion US dollars, involving 11 million motor vehicles.

Motor vehicle storage and emission hazards,

Car companies and parts factories will be investigated.

Article 14 of the Regulations points out that if the Ministry of Ecology and Environment finds that motor vehicles may have emission hazards during the supervision and inspection of air pollution prevention and control, the General Administration of Market Supervision and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment may investigate the motor vehicle producers and, if necessary, the producers of emission parts.

The "Regulations" strengthen the implementation of legal responsibilities, and clarify that motor vehicle producers or operators who violate the relevant obligations of the "Regulations" will be "ordered by the market supervision and management department to make corrections and be fined up to 30,000 yuan". Compared with the penalty requirements of safety recall, the prerequisite of "overdue correction" is removed, which improves the authority and compulsion of the Regulations and is conducive to improving the effectiveness of recall supervision.

At the same time, the "Regulations" stipulate that the recall and administrative punishment information will be included in the credit file and announced to the public according to law. This clause is directly related to the brand image and credibility of producers, with the purpose of enhancing the awareness of quality and integrity of enterprises, and to some extent, it can make up for the shortage of the "Regulations" as a departmental regulation, and urge enterprises to actively fulfill their recall obligations.

Will the emission recall affect the development of China automobile industry?

In 2020, China’s automobile sales will continue to rank first in the world. The profit of the automobile manufacturing industry increased by 4.0%.

Some people worry that the automobile industry is an important pillar industry of China’s national economy, and will the emission recall hinder the development of this industry?

However, in the opinion of experts, emission recall is the general trend, and there is no need to be too afraid or exaggerate its impact.

"In the short term, the cost of bicycle recall may be higher than that of automobile safety recall, which will bring greater economic and brand pressure to some enterprises with low emission technology in the short term. However, in the long run, the Regulations will encourage the motor vehicle industry to pay more attention to the research and development of emission technologies and related standards, and force enterprises to take the initiative to upgrade their technologies. "

For example, motor vehicle enterprises should strengthen research and development and testing related to emissions and produce motor vehicle products that meet relevant national emission standards; Emission parts manufacturers should take the initiative to innovate and develop emission parts products with high performance and reliability.

"The implementation of emission recall is an inevitable trend. Only by actively benchmarking the gap and strengthening innovation can enterprises change from price advantage to comprehensive competitive advantage with technology, brand, quality and service as the core, and achieve high-quality industrial development." Experts say that the recall of motor vehicle environmental protection is one of the important means to prevent and control motor vehicle emission pollution, which is also confirmed by relevant international practices.
