The "new blue card rule" was shouted for more than a year, and finally landed on January 13, 2022. The formal implementation of the "new regulations" will also make the much-criticized problem of "big tons and small standards" a thing of the past.
The "blue card new regulations" officially implemented this time are basically the same as the content of the draft for comments issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in August 2021. At the publicity meeting held on January 18, 2022, the Equipment Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stressed that the Second Type chassis also needs to be managed according to the requirements of "light trucks". In this way, the light bus that is "suitable for both passengers and goods" will be subject to two-way "control": on the one hand, the blue brand light bus with a length of more than 5.5m is about to withdraw from the historical stage; on the other hand, the second-class chassis that is popular in the RV and other modification markets will be included in the rectification list due to engine displacement, tire specifications, etc. exceeding the standard.
The "blue card new regulations" have officially landed, and the impact on light passenger production enterprises is not only not as drastic as that of light truck enterprises, but also the impact on each light passenger enterprise is not the same. Some companies even achieve "zero impact" in the form of innate compliance and rapid innovation of products. For example, SAIC Maxus, which will soon launch a new CSW light passenger product.
V80 mid-axle model is about to be launched Chase Blue Brand Light Passenger adds new Ding
For the light passenger industry, the biggest change is undoubtedly the "shrinking" of the length from 6000mm to 5500mm. In the light passenger industry where space is king, almost every brand has several models with a length close to 6000mm, and these models are about to bid farewell to the "blue card", and the competition of blue light bus is bound to shift to the range of 5500mm.
For SAIC Maxus, V90 long axle, V90 short shaft, V80 short shaft, V80 PLUS short shaft and other models fully meet the requirements of the new regulations, especially the V90 long axle model, the length of 5498mm, is already the length limit of light passenger products under the new regulations. In fact, saicus chase sales of blue brand light passenger products have been very rich, but this is obviously not enough for SAIC Maxus, the upcoming V80 new axle, will seamlessly replace the original Chase V80 long-axis model.
It is understood that SAIC Maxus's upcoming V80 axle products are extremely competitive in space, taking the 2.4-meter-high mid-top model as an example, the V80 mid-axle mid-top model has a cabin space of 9.5m, which is the largest volume model in the 2.4-meter model class with a height limit. The Chase V80 mid-axle model can not only be "loaded", but also more "economical" in terms of fuel consumption and use costs. It is reported that compared with similar products, the Chase V80 axle model can save users nearly 60,000 yuan in the cost of use for 5 years; not only that, the Chase V80 axle product also has the most cost-effective hand-integrated model in the same product, these advantages can be said to be any point is enough to make the user move, and these advantages are gathered on the Chase V80 axis model.
There is no doubt that SAIC Maxus launched the V80 axle model, which not only responds to the "blue brand new regulations" with compliant products, enriches SAIC Maxus's blue brand light passenger product matrix, but also "incidentally" shows its ability to adapt to the market and the continuous iteration ability of its products based on user use scenarios.
Purchased products rest assured that the blue card long shaft V80, extended shaft V90 will become "out of print"
At the publicity meeting held on January 18, 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clarified the implementation time of the "Blue Brand New Regulations": vehicles that do not meet the requirements will stop production on March 1, and manufacturers can postpone the sale of inventory vehicles until the end of August. That is to say, whether it is a light truck or a light passenger, the next less than 7 months will be the final "buffer period", and those who rush to play before the end of August will not be affected in any way.
SAIC Maxus has made it clear that non-compliant products will cease production from March 1 and has declared a "deferred sale" list for products that meet the deferred sales regulations. In fact, chases need to do this very few models. Overall, the impact of the "blue brand new regulations" on SAIC Maxus is very small, the V90 product is inherently compliant, and the new V80 central axis will be quickly replaced seamlessly. It can be said that SAIC Maxus' existing products are basically compliant.
For the models in use that users care about, and whether the models purchased during the transition period are affected by the new regulations, SAIC Maxus also takes this opportunity to solve the puzzle for users: don't worry at all! Vehicles that have been licensed and are in use are not affected by the new regulations, and the old cars follow the old methods and do not affect the user's annual review, transfer and use. In other words, the last less than 7 months will be the final listing period of the blue brand light bus models including SAIC Maxus V80 long axle and V90 extended axle, and it will also be the last wave of car purchase opportunities.
The C-type motorhome is on fire Chase V90 may meet the opportunity due to the "new regulations"
Since the second type chassis also needs to be managed according to the requirements of "light trucks", many C-type RVs modified by such chassis will not be able to be on the blue card due to excessive engine displacement and tire specifications, and such chassis will also be included in the rectification list. This undoubtedly makes caravan modification companies have many fewer choices.
At this time, the advantages of Class II chassis products that comply with the new regulations are revealed, such as SAIC Maxus's V90 6AT Class II chassis. This SAIC Maxus V90 6AT Class II chassis is equipped with a 2.0T "SAIC π" high-performance diesel engine, a 6AT automatic transmission, a peak power of 110kW, and a peak torque of 365N .m at 1500 rpm, which is comparable to the power output of the large-displacement engine and perfectly complies with the new blue brand regulations.
It has to be said that the difference in the impact of the "blue brand new regulations" on the second-class chassis products of light passenger production enterprises can be described as "ice and fire double heaven", and SAIC Maxus may be the one "assisted" by the new regulations. It is reported that with chase V80, V90 class II chassis, and chase V80, V90 van as the base car declaration of modified car companies announced a total of 55, Chase will be these currently on sale RV models synchronously expanded 195 tire announcement, in order to reduce the workload and cost of re-declaration of modified car companies, which is undoubtedly a major heart-warming move for partners.
In fact, SAIC Maxus Light Passenger with excellent quality, also shines overseas, recently in the EVs & BEYOND awards organized by New Zealand's well-known automotive mediaTransporttalk, SAIC Maxus EV90 as a challenger, defeated Mitsubishi, Ford and other Japanese, American mainstream international brand competitors, won the "Electric Commercial Vehicle of the Year Award". Richard Edwards, editor-in-chief of Transporttalk, gave full affirmation to the EV90: "When selecting the best electric models, our criteria are based on several dimensions such as performance, efficiency, practicality and quality. The EV90 has a huge cargo space and is also very enjoyable to drive, which can provide good service for enterprises, especially those who have a need for space and cargo capacity. In addition, for the important indicator of the range of electric vehicles, he said that there are other electric vans to choose from, but most of them focus on the last mile of the short distance, and we can use the EV90 from South Auckland to Whangarei, and the mileage is more than enough for long-distance transportation.
At present, the pure electric logistics models represented by the MAXUS EV90 of the above automobile Chase have gained a firm foothold in the overseas new energy blue ocean market such as Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the Americas, and have won the recognition of market users in the fierce competition with the competitive American, European and Japanese veterans, and quickly seized the market share with a record-breaking order, becoming a benchmark for "China's intelligent" electric vehicles to sail out to sea.
epilogue
The "blue brand new regulations" have been officially landed, and there is not much buffer period left for car companies and users. Whether it is a light truck or a light customer, "compliance" will be the primary keyword in the future market. SAIC Maxus has repeatedly proved its superior quality with its excellent reputation at home and abroad.
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared! The "blue card new regulations" landed, the blue card light passenger competition entered a new era, and SAIC Maxus, which has the innate compliance of the V90+ V80 new axis "two hands" preparation, is obviously not afraid of challenges.
