The introduction of a new regulation for the introduction of bus procurement is a bit "headache"

● Current standards: 2.0 displacement, less than 250,000 yuan ● New regulatory standards: 1.8 displacement, less than 180,000 yuan Recently, the latest "Administrative Measures for the Use of Official Vehicles by Party and Government Organs" was promulgated. According to the new regulations, the general procurement standard for official vehicles will be reduced from the standard of 2.0 displacements and 250,000 yuan to the 1.8 displacement and 180,000 yuan. This will undoubtedly have a great impact on the general business models with more than 2.0 displacements and prices exceeding 180,000 yuan on the market. In particular, the joint-venture brand B-class vehicles are almost completely out of tune. On the other hand, for those models that have the potential to enter the official car market, such as Buick Hideo, Chevrolet Epica and other joint-venture brand A-Class cars, and Auto Guangzhou Chuan Dihao EC8 and other self-owned brand B-class cars, it seems like a "honey-hunting opportunity."

Joint-venture B-class car facing out

According to the new regulations, a general official car must be a 1.8-liter displacement vehicle with a price of less than 180,000 yuan. At present, the mainstream B-class vehicles on the market are obviously excluded - two models of Hao Rui and the new Passat under the Volkswagen Group. Although they are equipped with a 1.8T engine, their official selling prices are basically over 190,000 yuan, and only Haoru 1.8. TSI manual Zhiya version, barely meet the standard, although the new Magotan is not yet listed, but with reference to the price of the new Passat, the lowest version of the model should not be less than 180,000 yuan; and Citroen C5, Peugeot 508, Nissan Teana, Honda Accord Toyota, Camry, Ford Mondeo, Buick Regal, Kia K5, Hyundai New Sonata, Ma Liurui and other models, not to mention the price, the minimum emissions are 2.0L, completely does not meet the procurement standards.

In this regard, the industry analysts believe that in order to maintain a firm foothold in the general public car market, joint venture B-class cars must be adjusted product lines. Hao Rui, the new Passat, Magotan and other models are relatively simple, only need to reduce the price through the allocation can be achieved. The Accord, Tianzhu, Camry, Mondeo and other models, must be developed for the Chinese market a 1.8L and the following engine displacement, in order to be selected into the general public car procurement catalog.

Joint venture A-class car ushered in opportunities

Although the introduction of the new regulations has led to the exit of Class B vehicles, for the joint venture brands, their Class A vehicles will usher in good opportunities. In the A-class car market, Buick Hideo, Chevrolet Epica, Toyota Corolla and other models, fully meet the requirements of the general business car displacement and price, is expected to become a popular official car procurement.

Independent brands ready to go

For self-owned brands, the reduction in the general procurement standards for official vehicles is really a great news. Previously, domestic independent brands such as Chery, Geely, BYD, Brilliance, JAC, etc., have been working hard in the official car market, but only a handful of orders have been seized. After the introduction of the new policy, the self-owned brands have become more and more popular. It is said that Guangzhou Automobile Auto Parts Co., Ltd. and Dorsett EC8, etc., are likely to be listed on the “core replacement” this year, with an optional 1.8-liter engine.

According to analysis by industry insiders, for the current autonomous B-Class that meets the requirements, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd., known as “Little Audi”, may become the strongest dark horse. Chuanqi is a collection of decades of mid-to-high-class car experience and global advanced R&D technology developed by GAC. Once it was launched, it became the designated vehicle for the Asian Games. The Chuanqi 1.8L, which will be launched in September, is undoubtedly the earliest self-branded mid- to high-end car that has thrown an olive branch at the beginning of the New Deal for official vehicles.
