Automobile Regulations Globalize and China Should Take the Initiative


With the continuous advancement of the globalization of the automotive industry, automotive companies are no longer confined to their own markets, but have established base areas throughout the world and have continued to expand their business scale. Different countries often have different technologies and environmental regulations. Adjusting products for different regulations in different regions has become a troublesome issue for automobile manufacturers.

When the global automobile regulations can move toward unification, we have no way of knowing. However, as can be seen from several events that have occurred this year, laws and regulations such as technology and environmental protection have taken a globally unified pace.

SR1: The Unified Basis of Global Automobile Regulations

b On June 23, at the 130th meeting of the United Nations Coordination Forum on World Vehicle Regulations, a document entitled "Special Resolution on Uniform Definitions and Procedures Used in Global Technical Regulations" was formally adopted. In the industry, this document is abbreviated as "SR1".

""SR1" mainly stipulates the most basic contents related to vehicle definitions used in all other global technical regulations." An expert who participated in the drafting process in the country told reporters that "The Global Automobile Technology Regulations Agreement in 1998 After the introduction of the regulations, the global unified automobile technology regulations were put on the agenda. Because the automobile technical regulations of different countries do not have the same definition, classification, quality, and size of vehicles, it is necessary to formulate global uniform technical regulations before These concepts are unified. "SR1" was launched in this context."

From the time of promulgation, "SR1" is the third global unified automotive technical specification document. However, its significance is far greater than the "Global Technical Regulations on Door Locks and Door Holders" successively issued at the beginning of this year and the "Global Unification". Motorcycle Emission Test Cycle." It can be said that the introduction of "SR1" has removed obstacles for subsequent global technical regulations and provided sufficient time for countries to adjust their respective existing technical regulations.

"Kyoto Protocol":

Countries reach consensus on environmental protection

On February 16, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change entered into force. This Convention is also known as the Kyoto Protocol. For this event, the media's evaluation is "a brilliant rainbow in the world's green movement."

The "Kyoto Protocol" was passed by the UN Climate Conference in Kyoto, Japan in 1997. It stipulates that from 2008 to 2012, the total greenhouse gas emissions of industrialized countries decreased by an average of 5.2% on the basis of 1990. Among them, the European Union, the United States, Japan, and Canada cut 8%, 7%, 6%, and 6%, respectively, while Ireland, Australia, and Norway allowed their greenhouse gas emissions to increase by 10%, 8%, and 1%.

Carbon dioxide emitted by conventional fuel vehicles is one of the major greenhouse gases, and the automobile production and processing process requires a lot of steel and electricity. The carbon dioxide emissions from these two energy production processes also in turn cause large amounts of greenhouse gases to be produced indirectly in the automobile production process. From this perspective, the impact of this international convention on automobile companies is relatively large.

Unification of global regulations is a general trend

For the globalization of technical regulations and environmental protection regulations, relevant experts believe that this is an inevitable trend.

“The inconsistency of technical regulations has caused auto companies to face many obstacles in global procurement. Therefore, all countries are actively promoting the introduction of corresponding regulations.” An expert commented that “from the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol and the In some of its actions, it can be seen that countries and enterprises attach importance to environmental protection issues. Although the United States does not recognize the content of the Kyoto Protocol for the sake of protecting its own industries, the major American automobile companies have entered into force after the Protocol. A plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was announced. Whether they are forced to press for public opinion or to demonstrate corporate image, they have shown that the internationalization of relevant laws and regulations has become an irresistible trend."

China should take the initiative to play a greater role

The internationalization of automotive technology laws and regulations is the trend of the times. What we can do is respond positively and take an active position in the process of internationalization of laws and regulations.

“For China, how to play a role in the introduction of global technical regulations is a question worthy of serious consideration.” Wu Wei, director of the Institute of Standardization of China Automotive Technology and Research Center, told reporters, “At present, in the coordination of global regulations Our country has become an important pole, but now we are not able to publish valuable opinions."

“In the face of globalization of laws and regulations, on the one hand, it is necessary to adapt relevant domestic laws and regulations; on the other hand, we must actively appoint representatives to participate in the formulation of global uniform laws and regulations and put forward proposals for the rationalization of the interests of China. Otherwise, we may It is passive in the trend of globalization of laws and regulations.” Zhang Xingye, Honorary Chairman of China Association of Automotive Engineers thinks so.
