On May 1, the first domestic technical standard for pickup trucks, the "General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks", officially came into effect. After the news was released, China Pickup Network received many inquiries from card friends, such as "Is my pickup truck still a pickup truck", "What to do with pickup trucks that do not meet the standards", "Can I install a high cover", "Can a high-end pickup truck be changed to a passenger car" and a series of questions.
Today, China Pickup Network will make an answer to these hot questions.
1. My Great Wall Cannon /Rui Qi 6/D-MAX/Domain Tiger 7... Does it meet the standards?
After the implementation of the standard, "their own pickup truck or not pickup truck" is undoubtedly the most concerned point for all car owners. Due to the large and complex number of existing pickup truck products on the market, it is difficult for us to sort out whether each model meets the requirements one by one, but after reading the standard, everyone can have a general judgment.
First of all, we must make it clear that the purpose of standard formulation is to distinguish pickup trucks from trucks and help the effective implementation of the ban policy. Understanding this, you can understand the principles of many rules, such as the box can not be too long, can not be opened on three sides, a number of indicators and passenger cars are consistent, etc., the ultimate purpose is to weaken the pure pulling attributes of pickup trucks, improve the product quality of pickup trucks. This means that the easiest to "step on the thunder" is the low-cost tool pickup truck, such as the main heavy-duty ultra-long cargo box pickup truck, such as the micro card magic to a pickup truck model, etc., and in recent years, most of the high-end products listed in the passenger car are in line with the requirements.
For card friends who still have doubts, China Pickup Network teaches everyone a small way to check themselves, focusing on these four points, you can initially understand whether your pickup truck meets the requirements:
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, must have tire pressure monitoring;
Of course, the content of the standard is far more than this, but there are some rules that have been followed by pickup trucks before, such as the total mass is not more than 3.5 tons, can be equipped with a cargo lid, etc.; some are not many non-compliant models, such as the approach angle is not less than 25 °, the departure angle is not less than 20 °, the minimum ground clearance is not less than 180 mm, etc. Therefore, if the card friends want to judge whether their pickup truck meets the new standards, focus on these four points, you can have a preliminary judgment, and the detailed interpretation can refer to "Your pickup truck or pickup truck?" " article.
2. What happens if my pickup truck doesn't meet the criteria? Are you not allowed to go on the road/into town?
Cardholders who have made it clear that their pickups do not meet the standards are immediately concerned about what will be affected by the non-compliance? China Pickup Network is also here to tell everyone: it will not be good now, but the future may be affected.
What we need to know is that the technical standard for pickup trucks is a recommended national standard, delineated, technical, recommended, in other ways, this standard is actually a technical manual, mainly in the product manufacturing level to play a role, and recommended means that the standard does not have the right to enforce after it takes effect.
That is to say, the standard is not currently enforced at the traffic management level, and non-compliant pickup trucks will not be banned from the road, but this does not mean that it will not be implemented in the future.
As the saying goes, "No rules, no squares". We can understand the standard as the first step of the pickup truck away from the identity of the truck, only with a unified standard, clear which products are pickup trucks, the future can make more actions for pickup trucks.
From the perspective of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the "source" of vehicle household registration, in the future, if the audit department takes the technical standards of pickup trucks as the measurement principle, then when declaring new cars, products that do not meet the standards will no longer have the identity of "multi-purpose trucks", but will be directly divided into "light trucks", and light trucks, micro trucks and other similarities, naturally will not enjoy the policy dividends of pickup trucks.
From the management level, at present, all localities in the promotion of pickup trucks generally faced a major problem, is not to know what kind of pickup truck can be unbanned, with the standard, pickup truck and light trucks, micro trucks and other light trucks have a clear distinction, the local traffic management department in the implementation of pickup trucks have an important technical reference basis, such as some places can adopt "in line with the "multi-purpose truck general technical conditions" pickup truck can enter the city" provisions, so that the implementation of pickup trucks in different places, the progress is not the same, The situation of unrealistic landing will be changed.
3. Can high-end pickup trucks be changed to passenger cars?
No. This is a misunderstanding, and some bloggers have previously posted that the application for pickup trucks that meet the standards is changed to passenger cars, and the 15-year mandatory scrap is canceled, which are all misinterpretations.
The core of the "General Technical Conditions for Multi-purpose Trucks" is the "technical standard", the most direct benefit after the introduction is to standardize the technical requirements of pickup trucks, improve the quality of pickup truck products, and will not change the classification and attributes of pickup trucks in the traffic management policy, the so-called "meet the requirements can be changed to passenger cars", "pickup trucks canceled 15 years of mandatory scrapping" and other assertions, are also nonsense.
Fourth, can I still buy pickup trucks that do not meet the standards?
I can buy it, but it is not recommended. Although the "general technical conditions for multi-purpose trucks" is a recommended standard, but the entire pickup truck industry is consistent in its understanding of the standard, that is, after the implementation of the standard will be good for the development of the market, and in the previous standard interpretation meeting held by China Pickup Truck Network, mainstream pickup truck manufacturers have also stated that the future will strictly follow the new standard to produce higher quality pickup truck products, so the new cars that meet the standards on the future market will not be less, such as child seat interface, tire pressure monitoring, long cargo box design, three-sided opening form, etc., in the product replacement upgrade , the company will also make corresponding adjustments, card friends can be in line with the standard range of purchase.
Of course, the technical standards for pickup trucks are more for new cars to be listed in the future, and for how to include the pickup trucks that have been sold into the standard, whether pickups that do not meet the standard can be changed, etc., the official has not clearly stated at present, which is also a point that makes many users feel anxious.
5. Can the cargo box be equipped with a high cover?
OK. The technical standards for pickup trucks clearly stipulate that pickup truck models can be equipped with the accessory of the cargo lid, but there are requirements: first, the top cover of the cargo box should be a hard structure, and the top cover and accessories of the cargo box should have sufficient strength and installation; second, the top cover of the cargo box should have an opening structure or cover lock system for loading and unloading goods. It can be seen that the standard does not limit the cargo box lid to be a flat cover, so the high cover is allowed, but the premise is to meet the above two conditions.
To remind everyone is that the high cover can not be installed by themselves, otherwise it will not pass the annual inspection, the style of the container cover should be declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, if the declaration contains the high cover option, the card friends can have the original high cover, and can be legally on the road.
On the whole, the introduction of technical standards for pickup trucks is of great significance to the domestic pickup truck market. Of course, some card friends will ask, since it is a recommended standard, is there a possibility that it will not be implemented, and eventually become a blank piece of paper? I don't think so.
At present, both inside and outside the pickup industry are promoting standards to play a role at more levels, even if the management level has not yet taken effect, but at the product manufacturing level, this technical standard has become the default guideline for car companies, and new cars in the future will meet the requirements at the source. Secondly, the General Office of the State Council proposed not long ago, "the implementation of refined management of pickup trucks into the city, study and further relax the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city", how to refine? How to further liberalize? The technical standard for the independent existence of pickup trucks as "multi-purpose trucks" is a good answer.
Of course, there is still room for optimization of the standard, such as whether it is reasonable to exclude the fun-type single-row pickup truck, how to classify the sold pickup truck into the new standard, etc., which are problems and tests waiting to be solved for the relevant departments, and need to be gradually optimized in the implementation process. At present, the technical standards for pickup trucks have officially come into effect, and we also expect the competent authorities to take the standard as the criterion and gradually promote changes in urban road rights, scrapping, annual inspections and highway rights and interests.
