The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has begun to formulate an entry directory rule for driverless car products

The Administrative Measures for Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Product Access Permits (Draft for Soliciting Opinions) not only makes it easier and more convenient for automotive companies to apply for and obtain access to product licenses, but also for the future development of the automotive industry. Driving products such as cars equipped with innovative technologies paved the way for access permits.

On April 18, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Measures for the Administration of Production of Road Motor Vehicle Production Enterprises and Product Permits (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)”. After the “Administrative Measures” are implemented, they will become administrative approvals for automotive products and enter the market for administrative licensing. One of the standards.

In 2001, the competent authorities of the automotive industry, such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, followed the European Union’s auto product approval system and established a management system for the entry of enterprises and products. After the implementation of this management system, the production conditions and product consistency of the access enterprises have been effectively guaranteed. The products sold in the market also have corresponding mandatory standards.

However, due to the product access management system formulated with reference to the EU's relevant regulations and the rapid development of the automotive industry, there are scattered license management documents, lower legal levels, and license types in the implementation of the "Road Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Products Bulletin". Excessively fragmented, inefficient use of corporate resources, inadequate adaptation to new technologies, and other issues.

This time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has drafted the "Administrative Measures" for these issues. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out that the implementation of the "Administrative Measures" hopes to promote the reform of vehicle manufacturing enterprises and product licensing management, reduce the scope of examination and approval, optimize the management process, and promote the continued high health of the automotive industry. Quality development.

The automobile predicts the "Administrative Measures for Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Product Access Permits (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)" published by the Ministry of Combine and Telecommunications to see how the "Administrative Measures" will affect the passenger car market.

Pave the way for the announcement of smart networked cars and driverless cars

With the development of the automotive industry, automotive companies are applying new technologies, new processes, and new materials, but the corresponding laws and regulations are not perfect, and access permits are relatively difficult to obtain. In the draft of the “Management Measures”, the vehicle manufacturers Relaxation of standards for the application of new technologies, new processes, and new materials may be exempted from part or all of the requirements for the application of new technologies, new processes, and new materials that do not meet or do not meet current standards and regulations.

It is worth noting that for the passenger vehicle market, the "Administrative Measures" has laid a foundation for the introduction of innovative technology products such as intelligent networked vehicles and driverless cars into the "Announcement."

At the time of liberalizing the ratio policy, some media pointed out that after the stock ratio is released, the conditions for the entry of auto products will be tightened. However, the “Administrative Measures” relaxed the application standards for new technologies, new processes, and new materials, laying a foundation for the entry into the “Announcement” of innovative technology products such as intelligent networked vehicles and driverless cars, which means that even if the share ratio is released, Products equipped with innovative technologies will not tighten access standards.

Passenger car classification reduced to 1 category

In the “Management Measures” solicitation draft, the type of enterprises’ access was significantly reduced. There were 8 types of special vehicles, 4 types of commercial vehicles, 2 types of passenger vehicles, 4 types of motorcycles, and 1 type of low-speed vehicles. The classification of production enterprises was reduced, and after the reduction, the “Administrative Measures” provided the categories of subdivided production companies such as passenger cars, trucks, passenger cars, special vehicles, motorcycles, and trailers.

In terms of passenger cars, they are classified as passenger cars and other passenger vehicles. When auto manufacturers only have permission to access cars, they must first obtain access to other passenger vehicles before launching SUV products. License, then the product can enter the "road vehicle manufacturing enterprises and products announcement" new product publicity, the process is relatively complex and cumbersome.

The “Management Measures” consultation draft divides passenger cars into one category. No matter whether they are launching car products or SUV products, they do not need to apply for enterprise access permits again to facilitate the enterprises to adjust their operations at any time according to market conditions.

Product family management

As for the types of licenses that have been excessively detailed, the “Administrative Measures” solicited opinions, promoted the management of family members of the vehicle products, and encouraged enterprises to apply for product access according to the families of the same model families. This means that automobile manufacturers are not required to reapply for admission notices for products within the same family.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out that after full promotion of family management of vehicle products, the type of product access will be reduced by about one-third or more.

Testing market gradually released

In the "Management Measures" draft, the inspection process was optimized. An automobile company can, on the basis of actual needs, independently select a testing organization approved by the State Council’s product quality supervision department and possessing the detection capabilities of the inspected vehicle product category, and inspect the vehicle products that have applied for permission.

For passenger vehicle companies, the inspection of vehicle licenses will be more convenient, and the inspection time and costs of vehicle licenses will be reduced. For auto parts that have already undergone 3C certification, certification results can be directly used instead of inspection reports. Repeat the test. In addition, the "Administrative Measures" also conducts self-inspection of products in pilot projects of enterprise groups.

Integrated license file

In the draft of the “Administrative Measures”, the current “Rules for the Implementation of Motorcycle Production Access Management Regulations”, “Specialized School Bus Production Enterprises and Product Access Management Rules,” “Management Rules for Passenger Vehicle Production Enterprises and Products Access,” and “Commercial Ten license management documents, such as vehicle production companies and product access management rules, were integrated into this "approach" and deleted too detailed management content.

In respect of passenger vehicles, the current "Management Rules for Production of Passenger Vehicles and Product Access" divides passenger cars into sedan and other passenger vehicles, and passenger car companies need to carry out different types of passenger cars. To apply for an access permit, the "Administrative Measures" classifies passenger cars into one category, which facilitates enterprises to apply for permits.

Develop a Zombie Enterprise Launch Mechanism

The “Administrative Measures” consultation draft formulated a withdrawal system for zombie enterprises and publicized the zombie enterprises. The new declared products must not be included in the announcement, and the zombie enterprise license should not be changed.

The standards of the zombie enterprises are: Annual output of less than 2,000 passenger cars for consecutive two years, less than 1,000 trucks (including ordinary transport vehicles), less than 1,000 light passenger cars, fewer than 100 large and medium-sized passenger cars, and motorcycles Less than 5,000 vehicles and trailer manufacturers with less than 100 vehicles. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology may adjust the relevant production figures according to the development of the automobile industry.

For the zombie enterprises to remove the publicity, the "Administrative Measures" stipulates that the zombie company must submit an application for the removal of the special public notice, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shall examine the company and, after meeting the conditions, remove the special public notice.
