Time has slipped away, and in the blink of an eye, April has entered the end, and the pickup truck market has gradually heated up with the vitality of spring. In the past week, the heat of the pickup truck market has not declined, and there are many hot spots. Next, I will sort out the pickup circle events in the last week of April.
The State Council issued a document: further relax the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city
On April 25, the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Further Releasing Consumption Potential to Promote the Sustained Recovery of Consumption (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") was officially released, and Article 4, Article 13 of the document clearly stated that the people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions of the State Council, and directly subordinate agencies are required to implement refined management of pickup trucks entering the city, and study further relax the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city.
This is the first time since the pilot lifting of the pickup truck ban in 2016 that the state's emphasis on the release of pickup trucks into the city has risen from the ministry to the level of the State Council, and the domestic pickup truck market has once again ushered in strong policy support, and the pickup truck can be fully lifted!
In addition, in order to promote the sustained recovery of consumption, the "Opinions" proposed that the steady increase in bulk consumption of automobiles and other large-scale consumption, each region must not add new car purchase restriction measures, the areas that have implemented purchase restrictions gradually increase the number of automobile incremental indicators, relax the qualification restrictions of car buyers, encourage the purchase restriction areas except for a few megacities to implement the differentiated policy of urban and suburban indicators, adjust the use of automobiles through legal, economic and scientific and technological means, gradually cancel automobile purchase restrictions according to local conditions, and promote the transformation of automobiles and other consumer goods from purchase management to use management. Establish and improve the management mechanism of the automobile modification industry and accelerate the development of the automobile aftermarket. Completely abolish the policy of restricting the relocation of used cars, and implement inter-provincial measures for the registration of small non-operating used car transactions.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued new requirements for regulating traction qualification models
On April 25, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Notice on Regulating the Declaration Requirements for Light Vehicles with Traction Functions. The notice proposes that cars with traction functions should be filled in with the total mass of quasi-trailers when declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the key requirements are that as long as the vehicle has traction qualifications, traction devices such as tow hook holes must be provided. This requirement undoubtedly solves a great problem for consumers, and when installing trailers in the later stage, it can be omitted to install trailer bars, so that consumers can use the car more worry-free and hassle-free. In addition, in the implementation requirements, it is also introduced that the models that have applied for the announcement can complete the supplement of vehicle information by changing the extension.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clearly requires in the notice that when applying for product access for light vehicle models with traction functions, the maximum allowable traction quality should be filled in in the "Announcement" "Quasi-trailer total mass (kg)" column, filled in in the "XXX, 0" method, and provide photos of vehicles with and without relevant traction special devices installed in the "optional photos", and file traction device information at the filing parameters "Special Device Name", "Special Device Model", "Special Device Manufacturer"; The column indicates the correspondence between the length of the vehicle and the installation of a special device for traction. This places higher demands on car companies: if you produce a model with a traction qualification, you must have a model with a trailer bar. This not only makes the traction capacity of the relevant models clear, but also eliminates the troubles of consumers in the later stage, so that pickup truck friends can get a model with an "original trailer bar" when they buy a car, and ultimately benefit the buyer.
In addition, the notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also has room for changes to models that have been announced and have traction quality but do not have traction devices: for light vehicle products with traction functions that have been announced, if the vehicle products that have been produced cannot be towed trailers in the design and manufacture, the supplement of vehicle information can be completed by changing and expanding, and the start and end production dates of such products should also be stated in the "Other" column. This also gives a buffer to models that are currently ready to be launched or on sale and discontinued, and if the car has a traction qualification but does not have a towing device, it can be supplemented by changes and extensions to facilitate subsequent sales.
