“The Ministry of Environmental Protection has begun to accept the environmental protection catalog for EGR engines !†Recently, a heavy truck company responsible for product announcements and environmental catalog applications told commercial motor journalists: “I spent a month in Beijing to apply for environmental protection of EGR products. table of Contents." In 2008, after China National Heavy Duty Truck EGR engine was approved by the government, EGR diesel engines of various engine companies were successively produced and produced in batches. However, none of them entered the environmental protection catalog. The review of EGR products by relevant departments has been very strict. Then, at the end of the year, as the person mentioned, the Ministry of Environmental Protection has released the catalog application for EGR products? Ministry of Environmental Protection In order to understand this situation, the reporter interviewed several mainstream heavy truck companies in China and found that this is not rumor. "At first, for the State III products, the country only approved engines using three typical routes such as the high-pressure common rail system. Later, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology liberalized the EGR product announcement application, but the Ministry of Environmental Protection is more cautious." The two domestic heavy truck companies Relevant persons all told reporters: “Only the EGR engine has obtained the environmental protection catalogue. After the vehicle manufacturer has assembled the qualified engine, it can apply for the environmental protection catalogue of the entire vehicle. The problem is that when communicating with the engine manufacturers, they are Said that the EGR engine has not entered the environmental protection catalog." For the above statement, the Ministry of Environmental Protection's motor vehicle emission monitoring center gave different explanations. The director of the center, Tang Dagang, told the reporter: “We have never said no to inadmissible, as long as we meet the requirements of production consistency, we can approve. However, until October, no engine company’s products came to us to declare. No engine company To declare, the entire vehicle company will naturally fail to declare." In the last month, dozens of engines and vehicle companies suddenly rushed to declare an environmental catalog. “This is because according to regulations, we will no longer accept the type approval of the State III product until December 31. Another reason is that starting from October 1, the Ministry of Environmental Protection has implemented the yellow and green standard management of new and in-use vehicles. Must be on the environmental protection list, otherwise you may not be able to get a license and cannot sell.†Tang Dagang revealed. It is difficult for companies to obtain an environmental protection catalog As for the current status of declarations by companies, Tang Dagang said: “Until now, vehicles with non-typical technical routes have not yet entered the environmental protection catalogue. This is not because we are not hauling in, but the materials used to declare companies are not homogeneous.†It is this rigorous review that allows some commercial vehicle companies to understand that they are not accepting applications for EGR products. “The technical specifications put forward by the Ministry of Environmental Protection for EGR engines are very strict, and the actual emission levels of existing EGR products are difficult to meet the standard requirements. Although many manufacturers have met the standards of testing organizations, the consistency check of testing organizations is not very strict. As long as the prototype meets the standard, the Ministry of Environmental Protection must carry out sampling inspections from batch products. It is very difficult for batch products to meet the standards. In addition, the production consistency check is relatively more stringent for the engine and inspection of the vehicle is still relatively loose." Dongfeng Liu Auto ’s relevant personnel engaged in product announcements and environmental catalogue application work told the reporter: “In addition to the long time ago China National Heavy Duty Truck obtained an environmental protection catalog, there is currently no other engine manufacturer’s EGR product, and the automaker cannot enter the environment. It is not that companies have not declared, but have not reported it yet." "Shaanxi Automobile is also the case. Shaanxi Automobile uses the Weichai EGR engine, which has not received an environmental protection catalog. Now it is necessary to wait for the engine to obtain an environmental protection list first, and we will apply for the whole vehicle again." Shaanxi Auto officials told reporters. Next year business owners push high pressure common rail Because the environmental catalog on EGR products is not difficult to face, most companies indicate that they will be dominated by high pressure common rail products next year. The relevant person of FAW Liberation said: “The focus of liberation next year will remain on high-pressure common rail products, especially on highway logistics vehicles. About 80% to 90% of the products will use common rail systems. Previously, we did not understand the high pressure common rails very well. It is difficult to repair, and now after a long period of user use and in-depth knowledge of the common rail technology of the manufacturers, we will tend to high-pressure common rail systems in the future.It is stable and relatively fuel-efficient. Some of my friends and family buy a car, I Common rail products will also be recommended." Futian Auman's marketing plan for the next year is also true, and the relevant person in charge of the company said: "Next year, Auman will focus on promoting products using high-pressure common rail systems, and EGR products account for less than 10% of total sales. This is also true of its realization. There are many products for common rail systems." Wang Peng, head of Shaanxi Zhongqi Product Admissions Section, told reporters: “Many manufacturers are faced with the situation that products equipped with EGR engines cannot be sold in some areas where the environmental directory inspection is more stringent because there is no national environmental protection catalogue. For example, in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc. For Shaanxi Auto, high-pressure common rail products are the mainstream of sales, after all, there are many places where licenses can be placed, and EGR products are the auxiliary forces for sales.†Dongfeng Liuqi is different. The relevant person in the company’s product planning department stated: “At present, domestic sales are dominated by EGR products. We expect that sales of EGR products will be even larger next year. From the market feedback, users are more compliant with EGR products. It is considered that the cost performance is higher. Now Liuzhou's EGR products cover a full range of models including trucks, tractors and dump trucks."
