With the gradual maturity of the pickup truck market, there are more and more favorable policies for pickup trucks and multi-functional models. So let's stop mentioning pickup trucks and think of the millennium-old terriers of "15 years of scrapping" and "not letting go to the city", these problems will gradually resolve with time. For example, this year, from the beginning of the year to the present, there have been more than N favorable policies on pickup trucks have been implemented, indicating that the treatment of pickup trucks will be better and better. I believe that with the future pickup truck products more passenger, household use, the aforementioned millennium terrier will naturally be broken. Now let's take a look at the Picari good policy that has been implemented so far this year.
Pickup trucks are included in the new three-pack policy for automobiles
Effective date: From January 1
Advantages: Let all pickup truck models have a policy guarantee for after-sales service
Since January 1 this year, according to the new "Regulations on the Responsibility for Repair and Replacement of Household Automobile Products" issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation, the scope of three packages for household cars has been expanded, and three packages for household pickup trucks have been implemented to protect the rights and interests of pickup truck consumers and promote the rapid development of the pickup truck industry. In addition, the definition of household automobile products is also clarified in the by-laws, which refers to passenger cars and pickup trucks purchased and used by consumers for the needs of daily consumption. This is undoubtedly a great thing for pickup truck consumers, so that after-sales service has laws and regulations and policies to protect.
For pickup truck models with relatively large parallel imports in China, the new regulations also clearly point out in article 3 of chapter 1 that the responsibility for the three guarantees is borne by the seller according to law. Enterprises that import household automobile products from outside the People's Republic of China and sell them in China are regarded as producers. That is to say, the parallel import pickup trucks sold by parallel importers to The country also meet the new regulations. Although compared with the huge domestic pickup truck market, the number of parallel imported pickup trucks is relatively small, but it can also allow the corresponding consumers to be guaranteed, and its role is beyond doubt.
C-NCAP test adds pickup trucks
Effective date: From January 1
The advantage: there are higher requirements for the safety of pickup truck products
Another policy implemented on January 1 this year is also based on the consumer's point of view, that is, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center revised the "C-NCAP Management Rules (2021 Edition)" to add pickup trucks (multi-purpose trucks) with a maximum design total mass of ≤ 3.5 tons to the range of new car crash tests. However, not all pickup trucks have to be tested, and the range of car selection is set on models with total sales of more than 3,000 units, so most mainstream pickup truck models in China may be tested, and those models with dismal sales are excluded. However, since the beginning of this year until now, the collision results announced by C-NCAP have not yet appeared in the pickup truck, and it is not known which pickup truck will become the "first collision" model in China.
Driver's license added C6 driving qualification
Effective date: April 1
Advantages: The driving mode of the pickup truck + trailer car train is legalized, and the trailer driver has more experience in handling
Since April 1 this year, the Ministry of Public Security promulgated the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Decree No. 162), which has added the C6 light traction trailer driving qualification, allowing the driving of cars with a total mass of less than (excluding) 4500 kg.
Most of the tractors in the car trains are mainly pickup trucks, because the pickup trucks have the characteristics of large torque and non-bearing body, so they have unique advantages in traction quality. The C6 driver's license has great benefits for pickup trucks tow trailers, so that this model with very diverse use methods has a place to play, and also makes pickup truck trailer more legal.
《General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks》
Effective date: May 1
Advantages: The definition of pickup trucks is more clear, which helps to distinguish management from ordinary trucks in the future and becomes the basis for more rules and regulations
On the first day of May, the long-awaited "General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks" was officially implemented, which is the first definition standard for special models such as pickup trucks in China. With this standard, pickup trucks that meet the requirements are likely to be treated differently from other trucks in the future, such as canceling scrapped, canceling traffic restrictions and other measures, so that pickup trucks can get more preferential treatment. But consumers should not be misled or fooled by some influencers, this new standard only gives pickup trucks a clear definition.
Of course, there are some areas that need to be improved, but with the first step, the work behind is better carried out. In this standard, there are several key elements to know, and if you meet these standards, your vehicle is likely to be a "serious" pickup truck.
1. Must be a double-row pickup, and a single-row pickup is not included;
2, the engine must be in the front of the car, and can not invade the cab too much;
3. The length of the cargo box does not exceed 1.85m, and it is not fully open on three sides;
4, at least 4 cargo box hooks, must have an ISOFIX child seat interface;
In addition to these, the new standard has many other requirements, which can be found by browsing the articles we have previously introduced.
The Yangtze River Delta blew the wind of lifting the ban, and the State Council began to pay attention to the problem of pickup trucks entering the city
Implementation date: From the end of last year
Advantages: Pickup policy has blossomed everywhere, gradually rising to the national level of concern
Pickup truck unbanning has always been the focus of many card friends attention to the news, we report any of the unbanned policies, there are a large number of netizens message reply, enough to prove the attention of this kind of information. Recently, several areas in the country have relaxed the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city. First of all, at the end of last year, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, issued the "Notice on Handling the 2022 Jiaxing Urban Truck Pass", which proposed that multi-purpose trucks (commonly known as "pickup trucks") are allowed to pass in the restricted area (excluding expressways), and are not restricted by the restrictions and are exempted from applying for passes (allowed to pass through all hours).
Coincidentally, in the Yangtze River Delta region frequently ushered in the news of pickup truck lifting, Jiangsu Yangzhou Municipal People's Government in early March issued the "Announcement on Adjusting the Urban Trucks, Special Operation Vehicles, Agricultural Vehicles Restricted Traffic Measures", which distinguishes pickup trucks from other trucks, implements different traffic restriction management measures, according to regulations, in addition to urban expressways and tunnels, pickup trucks are allowed to pass on other roads in Yangzhou.
More important is the next news: on April 25, Article 4, Paragraph 13 of the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Further Releasing Consumption Potential and Promoting the Sustained Recovery of Consumption 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 should implement refined management of pickup trucks entering the city and study further relaxing the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city. It seems to be an appeal, but the initiator of this appeal is the level of the State Council, so the domestic pickup truck market has once again ushered in strong policy support. The State Council has spoken, the subordinate organs will certainly make corresponding adjustments, and the comprehensive lifting of the ban on pickup trucks is very worth looking forward to.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued new requirements for regulating traction qualification models
Date of implementation: Implementation on april 25, the date of promulgation
Advantages: Let the pickup truck with traction qualification qualification + configuration have both, saving consumers the trouble of installing
As we all know, since April 1 this year, the C6 driver's license has officially "launched", so that many consumers who like to use private cars to tow tow have more legal driving qualifications, and pickup trucks are often used as tractors, which is more dividend. However, in the past products, there are few models that can achieve the best of both worlds with "traction qualification" and "traction equipment", so recently, 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.
Summary: This year is not yet halfway through, but there is so much news about the pickup truck market, and this is still in the case of a more serious epidemic. I believe that with the advancement of time, the epidemic situation will gradually improve, and the preferential treatment policy for pickup trucks will be more and more introduced, which will eventually make pickup truck users more comfortable and casual, and pickup trucks will surely usher in a big era of household and passenger use.
