Recently, the "small-end anti-collision steel beam" incident has once again become the focus of the unspoken rules of the joint venture car companies to reduce the wind. According to some surveys, since last year, many models produced by joint venture car companies have not installed anti-collision steel beams at the rear, some have replaced them with foam, while others have changed the material of steel beams to engineering plastics. It is worth noting that many of the joint venture models that have been exposed without the anti-collision steel beams are all hot-selling models of the first-line brands. In addition to anti-collision steel beams, it is not uncommon for the same models to have more active and passive safety configurations than domestic models.

The "Public Broken Axis Incident", which has not yet been calm, has not been recognized by the authorities, but many consumers believe that it is due to the unreasonable reduction of models. Non-independent suspensions can indeed save costs, but in exchange for quality problems, the safety of the vehicle during use is greatly reduced.
The reduction of joint venture models in China has been an unspoken rule in the industry and has many unspoken rules for many years. What is the reason for the multinational car companies to scream the most important Chinese market, the most demanding of Chinese consumers, while quietly reducing the safety configuration of the car?
The direct effect of the reduction is to reduce manufacturing costs. Reducing costs and maximizing profits are the natural attributes of an enterprise. However, while maximizing commercial interests, it should not be at the expense of consumer interests or the public interest. Everyone knows this, but it seems that the conscious of the company alone is not enough at the implementation and operation level. It also requires strict policy constraints.
In fact, the reason why the joint venture car companies have implemented the reduction measures for domestically produced vehicles, and the price of the same models after the reduction is higher than the overseas market, the root cause is that the threshold of relevant domestic technical safety standards is low. This allows the joint venture car companies to reduce the vehicle configuration as much as possible within the scope of compliance, so as to be able to meet the relevant domestic technical safety standards to a minimum.
It is precisely because the current technical safety standards are low, and the specifications for the safety configuration of the vehicles are not strict enough, so that the joint venture vehicles have the space and opportunities to reduce the allowance. For example, the current "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation" does not have clear requirements for the safety configuration of the body stability system and the head air curtain. However, according to the relevant technical standards of the European and American markets, these configurations must be mandatory. Due to the many differences between the domestic and overseas market safety standards, it is no wonder that the same models of multinational car companies are not treated equally in China and overseas markets.
Therefore, behind the popularization of the joint venture car model, the problem is that the domestic safety technology standards are lagging behind. Breaking down the hidden rules of reduction and distribution in the industry for many years, we need to start with policies, regulations and standards, improve the requirements of safety technology standards, and strengthen the binding force on enterprises. Only in this way can domestic consumers truly enjoy the same quality products in the same market as overseas markets, and also make multinational car companies pay attention to the vows of the Chinese market and consumers, and no longer become empty talk.
