The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is pressing ahead with the development of the standard for fuel consumption of commercial vehicles and is expected to initially form a limit value in August.

Recently, the reporter learned from the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that on May 13th, the Department of Equipment Industry and the Department of Industrial Policy held a promotion meeting on the fuel consumption standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles in Beijing, and fully deployed the “Consumption of Fuel Consumption for Heavy Commercial Vehicles”. Standard setting work.

This means that the days when heavy commercial vehicles are included in energy-saving car projects are not far off. Starting in March of this year, the Ministry of Transport began to fully implement the "Measures for the Inspection and Supervision of Fuel Consumption for Road Transport Vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), but due to various reasons, the enterprises have complained about this. Subsequently, the Ministry of Industry and Communications communicated with the Ministry of Transport several times and the Ministry of Transport had promised that if the national standards of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can be implemented as soon as possible, the relevant work of the Ministry of Transport can be suspended. To enable the Ministry of Communications to achieve this promise, the top priority of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is to come up with standards as soon as possible.

â– Ministry of Industry and Information Technology repeatedly instructed the development of standards. Globally, the focus of automobile energy conservation has gradually shifted from passenger cars (light vehicles) to heavy commercial vehicles, and it is one of the most effective means of controlling the fuel consumption of heavy-duty commercial vehicles. National standards have been blank. After the establishment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the state clearly stated that the management of the automobile industry should be based on the breakthrough of automobile energy conservation. Therefore, as a "gatekeeper" for access to automotive products, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has formulated a set of reasonable and effective fuel consumption testing standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

On January 13 this year, after reviewing the National Standard for Fuel Consumption of Heavy-duty Commercial Vehicles, the limit criteria became the top priority. According to informed sources, from January to May this year, Minister of Industry and Information Miao Wei made seven written instructions on the limits of fuel consumption for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The degree of emphasis is evident.

On January 30, Miao Tao put forward a requirement for the work of heavy-duty vehicle fuel limits for the first time. On March 1st, the Department of Industrial Policy and Equipment Division fully investigated and reported to Miao Wei on the investigation of the formulation of the limit value, and was given instructions on the 8th: The automobile energy saving has reached a point of no time, and the energy saving potential of automobiles of over 3.5 tons The effect is more significant. We hope that we can speed up the work of energy-saving heavy-duty commercial vehicles while working on energy-saving vehicles below 3.5 tons, with a view to achieving early results.

In March, the Ministry of Transport took the lead and its "approach" was fully implemented. This move has brought a “brutal brake” to the peak season of the entire heavy commercial vehicle market. The company hopes that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will introduce more reasonable and scientific fuel consumption testing standards.

On March 19th, the relevant department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology immediately held a meeting to further discuss the promotion of the fuel consumption management of heavy commercial vehicles, and reported the situation to Miao Wei on the 21st. On the 21st, they received written instructions. In a large section of instructions, Miao Wei Emphasis was placed on three points: Accelerate the formulation and release of fuel consumption limit standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles; Actively communicate with the Ministry of Transport to resolve possible duplicate management problems in heavy-duty commercial vehicle fuel consumption management; Can you contact the Ministry of Finance to start heavy commercial use? Car energy saving incentives.

In mid-April, Miao Tao once again instructed: Accelerating the development of fuel consumption limit limits for heavy-duty commercial vehicles with a capacity of more than 3.5 tons is the most important task for current energy-saving vehicles. It is hoped that the cooperation between the Industry Department and the Equipment Division will be promoted as soon as possible.

■ There is no international standard reference is a major reason for the backwardness of standard setting work. It is understood that in 2006, since the country put forward fuel consumption requirements for passenger cars (light cars), the detection of fuel consumption has been upgraded to the country’s industrial policy management. . For the past five years, under the background that fuel consumption management of passenger cars (light vehicles) has achieved great results, why has the development of fuel consumption management standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles been stagnant?

In fact, since May 2007, the relevant national authorities have already worked out the “Standard for Fuel Consumption of Heavy Commercial Vehicles”, but it has not been formally released until today.

“Because there are no relevant international standards.” A few days ago, Du Fangci, Assistant Secretary General of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told reporters that “previously some of the domestic standards are based on international standards, which is relatively easy.” It is understood that there are no A country collects data on the fuel consumption limits of heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and the determination of the limits must be based on a large amount of experimental data. The process of collecting data takes time and effort, and it also requires a lot of financial resources.

On January 13, this year, the National Standard for Fuel Consumption Measurement for Heavy-duty Commercial Vehicles passed a review, pushing the standard-setting work forward a lot, and the limit value has not been taken seriously. It is understood that in October last year, the relevant departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had invited several important domestic heavy-duty commercial vehicle companies to do data collection experiments, but so far no data have been seen.

According to the reporter’s “Method for Measuring Fuel Consumption of Heavy-duty Commercial Vehicles” (approved draft), the method for calculating the fuel consumption of heavy-duty commercial vehicles is mainly based on the engine test and the computer simulation of the vehicle in C-WTVC (meaning "World The operation under the heavy-duty commercial vehicle transient cycle") determines the vehicle fuel consumption. With such a new test method, can companies become familiar with and adapt? Is there a corresponding test equipment? These are all tough problems.

The reporter learned from the relevant person in charge of the heavy truck companies participating in the meeting that according to the current working arrangements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of May, a method of dividing the fuel consumption limits was established; from the beginning of June to the end of July, a bottoming test was conducted; In August, initial limits can be established.
