Controversy over the new school bus standards (hereinafter referred to as the new "standard") finally came to an end. Recently, reporters learned from several bus companies that after 10 Spring Festival Party committee meetings prior to the Spring Festival, the National Standards Committee has, in accordance with the original date, convened technical experts and technical leaders of school bus manufacturing companies in Beijing, on the "school bus safety technical conditions," etc. Four mandatory national standards were reviewed and a large number of revisions were made to the first draft.
“The final version has adopted the opinions of most bus manufacturers.†A representative of the participating companies told reporters that the Yutong’s existing standard school bus standards, which are widely concerned by bus companies in the “Draft for Commentâ€, are different from the industry standards, and are revised. The new "Standard", mainstream bus manufacturers as long as the corresponding increase in costs, can basically meet the requirements.
“Compared with the original standard, the new school bus standard has substantially increased safety measures and reduced some unreasonable quantitative indicators in the “Draft for Commentâ€,†said Ou Pei, sales director of Wuling Automobile Industry Group. After the implementation of the new “Standardsâ€, the safety of school buses has increased, but the increase rate of costs has also been relatively reasonable. The purpose is to make school buses that adapt to the national conditions more popular.
The reporter learned that the current standard has entered the approval process and is expected to be released in March this year. Unlike the three-year transition period in the “Draft for Commentâ€, the new “Standard†sets the transition period as one year so that more children can bid farewell to the “black school busâ€.
More to listen to manufacturers' opinions
“We came up with opinions in the past and were eventually adopted. Compared with the “Draft for Comment,†the new “Standard†adopted the opinion of the OEM and reduced some indicators that were originally unreasonable.†Shanghai Automotive Commercial Vehicle Limited Gao Mingnuo, senior manager of product marketing at the company's marketing department, told reporters.
For example, the “Draft for Comment†stipulates that the school bus should be a two-box structure, at least half of the length of the engine should be located before the front of the front windshield, and the height of the chassis of the school bus should not be less than 700 mm. After specifying the engine position, only the Long Nose School Bus represented by the Yutong School Bus can actually meet the standard, excluding all flat and microscopic models, and the height of the chassis from the ground is not less than 700 mm, which cannot be achieved for medium and small passenger cars. .
The Controversy over the New School Bus Standard: May Be Formally Implemented in March
"The collective appeal of bus manufacturers has been adopted," Gao Mingnuo told reporters. Some of the standards that were deemed unreasonable by small and medium-sized passenger car companies were not mentioned in the new “Standardsâ€. The general principle is that 6 m or less should be required by the national standard of light passengers, and 6 m or more by national standards for large and medium passengers. National standard requirements.
"The floor height is not mentioned separately, and the position of the engine is not mentioned otherwise. It directly quotes the national bus standards." According to informed sources, the emergency system is consistent with the school bus that has already been released.
Under the premise of meeting these major principles, the difference between school buses and ordinary passenger cars and old primary school bus standards is that they have increased the requirements for tumbling tests of passenger cars. The roll stability angle has been increased from 32 to 35 degrees, which is equivalent to the original standard. higher. In addition, safety conditions such as parking warning signs that can be achieved after modification are proposed. “The rollover angle is improved. In case there are bumps and turns, it is not easy to happen.†Oppen is also satisfied with such a change.
New "Standard" is closer to national conditions
In response to frequent school bus accidents, on December 27, 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued an announcement to openly solicit the newly formulated "Technical Conditions for School Bus Safety", "Strength of School Bus Seating Systems and Their Vehicle Mounts," and "Safety Technology for Children's School Buses." "Conditions", "Strength of infant school bus seat systems and their fixtures" comments on the four draft national standards (hereinafter referred to as "Draft for Comment").
One stone provoked thousands of layers of waves. After the “Draft for Comment†was issued, it caused controversy among the manufacturers. In fact, although the “Draft for Soliciting Opinions†was formulated by the Bus Sub-Committee of the National Automobile Standards Committee, but because of the tight schedule at that time, the National Automobile Standards Committee Passenger Bus Sub-Committee did not notify all bus companies in place, but organized Experts based on Zhengzhou Yutong Automobile were drafted. For example, Zhou Huici, the team leader of the new school bus standards team responsible for the drafting of the new national standard, came from Zhengzhou Yutong Automobile.
This also led to a large number of Yutong’s existing school bus standards as an industry standard in the “Draft for Commentâ€. In addition, if the requirements of the “Draft for Comments†are met, the current school bus purchase costs will increase by at least 20%-30%. Bus companies generally believe that such increase in costs cannot be accommodated in the use of the school bus accident in the backward areas.
The high voice of bus companies has alarmed the relevant state departments. On the eve of the review of the “Draft for Commentâ€, on January 5th, a new school bus standard solicitation meeting led by the National Development and Reform Commission and led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will be held in Beijing. The two-day conference will cover nearly 10 mainstream passenger cars in China. Production companies came to the meeting and made suggestions.
“The general principle is that the safety of existing school buses should be improved, but the cost should be controlled reasonably, and it should be conducive to the popularization of school buses and ensure the safe operation of school buses through corresponding regulations.†The general principle proposed by representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology at the meeting was attended by the participants. Manufacturers' unanimous approval.
The representative of the Ministry of Finance put forward his own suggestions on cost control. “The changes in new standards and old standards will lead to increased costs. Has this new school bus standard been calculated? If the standard is set too high, although there is a standard The school bus, but due to road car prices and other reasons, the car simply can not enter the rural areas, which is contrary to the original intention of formulating a new school bus."
On January 11, the National Standards Committee once again organized the participation of the relevant representatives of the bus companies. Unlike the first time, this time, the major manufacturers had all basically arrived, and the opinions of the manufacturers were basically adopted.
