For a long time, the problem of "large tons and small standards" and overloading is a common chaos in the mainland light truck transportation industry, and the tragic traffic accidents caused by this chaos are numerous.
What is a "big ton small standard"?
The so-called "large tonnage and small standard" usually refers to large tonnage trucks, but labels small tonnage, that is, the actual maintenance quality of the truck is higher than the maintenance quality recorded in the "Motor Vehicle Factory Qualification Certificate". For example, some trucks actually have a carrying capacity of 30 tons, but car companies only mark 20 tons on the nameplate during the production process. This difference allows the vehicle to actually have a capacity of 30 tons, but the levy of various fees is only charged according to the standard of 20-ton trucks, which is the so-called large ton small standard truck.
To put it simply, the fundamental purpose of "large tons and small standards" is to evade fees and reduce transportation costs. Such a result not only disrupts the order of the transport market, but also creates unfair competition. Moreover, these vehicles also have great safety hazards on the road, and once a traffic accident occurs, the consequences are quite serious.
At present, the relevant departments are actively carrying out the rectification of illegal modification of "large tons and small standards" vehicles and trucks. At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Production and Registration Management of Light Trucks and Small and Micro Passenger Vehicles.
The new regulations have many requirements for the safety technology of light trucks and small and micro passenger cars, such as the seat setting after the driver of the vehicle should not be a single-row single seat layout, and the length of the vehicle with two, three rows and above seats should be less than or equal to 5.5 meters.
The new regulations of "large tons and small standards" released this time will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the light truck and light passenger industries, and the impact will be far-reaching.
Provide a level playing field and drive the benign development of enterprises
In fact, the domestic freight market has a strict "grade" division, using "relay distribution". That is to say, each model has its own transportation positioning, medium and heavy trucks are responsible for transporting goods to the distribution center outside the city; light trucks and light passengers are responsible for transporting the goods of the distribution center to the city distribution center.
Among them, blue light trucks and light passengers can open with C1 driver's licenses, there are fewer restrictions on entering the city, and from 2019, blue trucks have cancelled the restrictions of "double certificates", which also makes blue light trucks and light passengers become the hardest hit areas of "large tons and small standards". Many light trucks and light passengers have replaced the transportation responsibilities of some yellow-card light trucks and medium-sized trucks, squeezing their markets, causing deformed competition in the logistics and transportation markets, causing many unfair problems.
The introduction of the new regulations on "large tons and small standards" will severely crack down on the violations of "large tons and small standards", which will greatly purify the development environment of the transportation industry, provide more fair market competition, and effectively eliminate traffic safety hazards.
In addition, for automakers, the new regulations will also play a "catalyst" role and drive the benign development of related car companies.
Just think, if the automobile manufacturers take precautions and lay out in advance, then their model products will meet the regulations, and the new policy will not only not affect the development of the enterprise, but even let the car companies go further at the level of the "new regulations".
As a leading enterprise in the field of light passengers, SAIC Maxus MAXUS sold 5273 units in January 2022, with an overall domestic market share of nearly 40%. The company's V90 long shaft, V90 short shaft, V80 short shaft, V80 short shaft, V80 PLUS short shaft and other models with better sales at home and abroad are all in line with the requirements of the "new regulations". In particular, the V90 long-axle model under the brand has a length of 5498mm, and the requirements for the "new regulation" of 5500mm are infinitely close, which can be said to be the limit of the length of the "new regulation" body.
In addition to having a wealth of choices in the traditional fuel vehicle market, SAIC Maxus maxus also launched a pure electric product EV90. Recently, in the EVs & BEYOND Awards organized by New Zealand's well-known automotive media Transfertalk, SAIC Maxus MAXUS EV90, as a challenger, defeated the competitors of Japanese and American mainstream international brands such as Mitsubishi and Ford, and won the "Electric Commercial Vehicle of the Year Award".
In addition, after the promulgation of the new regulations, SAIC Maxus quickly launched the V80 central axle, replacing the original V80 long-axle model, further enriching the blue brand light passenger matrix of SAIC Maxus MAXUS.
It is understood that SAIC Maxus V80 axle products are quite competitive in space, taking the 2.4-meter-high mid-top model as an example, the V80 mid-axle mid-top model cabin space reaches 9.5m, which is the largest volume model in the 2.4-meter model class with a height limit. The new car not only shows its outstanding space, but also makes the owner very worry-free in fuel consumption control and use costs, and the 5-year use cycle can save nearly 60,000 yuan in use costs. It is not difficult to find that SAIC Maxus launched the V80 mid-axle model, which not only meets the requirements of the "new regulations", but also brings new opportunities for its own development.
Of course, if the car companies are improperly prepared, or their own research and development strength is insufficient, there is no compliant alternative model in the short period after the introduction of the "new regulations", which will naturally lead to product faults, thus affecting the overall sales situation.
New regulations are introduced, and it is a good time to start with long wheelbase light guests
The introduction of the new policy of "large tons and small standards" will inevitably have a certain impact on the light truck and light bus market, the living space of blue light trucks and light passengers will definitely be compressed, and the cost of long-distance transportation will increase, which may force blue light trucks to return to short-distance urban logistics transportation.
However, it should be noted that according to the provisions of the new regulations, vehicles that do not meet the requirements will stop production until March 1, but after the production enterprise declares that the sales of inventory vehicles are postponed, they can be sold until the end of August. This also means that the space-larger long-axle models have only the last car purchase opportunities, and consumers who want to buy long-wheelbase light passengers must seize the opportunity to complete the new car before the end of August.
In addition, for users who have purchased a large-space long-wheelbase light bus model and have completed the licensing action, the vehicle is not affected by the new regulations. In other words, the long-axle model purchased and completed before the end of August will not affect the customer's annual review, transfer and use, and will not be affected in the future second-hand car transaction, and it is still a blue card, which also completely dispels the last concerns of consumers.
More importantly, in order to remove existing inventory before the time node, manufacturers have successively given more powerful terminal preferential policies. It is understood that users who purchase the SAIC Maxus V80 long-axis version of the model before the end of August this year and have finished the license will not be affected in any way.
In short, according to the provisions of the New Deal, now is the best time to buy a long-wheelbase light passenger.
Answer the comment
The problem of "large tons and small standards" can be said to affect the survival plan of millions of logistics practitioners, no matter how the policy changes, the country wants to create a relatively fair logistics and transportation environment.
In the long run, the introduction of the New Deal is definitely beneficial and harmless to the transportation industry. In addition, I believe that many people will gradually realize the seriousness of the "large ton small standard" problem, and will choose products in strict accordance with the new regulations when purchasing overweight models.
In fact, at present, the compliance of blue light trucks and light bus models on the market has been very rich, such as SAIC Maxus maxus and other car companies have provided a diversified product matrix, consumers have enough choice space.
