Euro III Emission Standard Shows Strong Potential for Domestic Vehicles to Meet Standards


Shanghai Volkswagen recently announced that it will start production of the Santana 3000 that meets Euro III standards. According to Shanghai Volkswagen sources, the Santana 3000 Euro-III standard will be listed at the beginning of next year at the earliest. This will undoubtedly mark the beginning of the large-scale transformation of the domestic automobile Euro III standard. It will take another year for Beijing to implement the Euro III emission standard for automobile exhaust gas on July 1, 2005. Are we ready for auto manufacturers? Although the country has not yet announced the Euro III standard and has not organized any formal appraisal, most of the major manufacturers have marked the emission standards achieved by their respective models in their own product descriptions. Through these data, we can see that the current domestic Euro III standard vehicle development. Characteristic 1: The synchronous emission of the world's synchronous vehicles represents the model: Mondeo, POLO In the survey conducted by the reporter, the Mondiou, a world-wide vehicle that was introduced synchronously with Europe, still achieved Euro II standards in emissions. The sales staff explained that the original 03 Mondeo was assembled from all imported parts and the emission reached the Euro III standard. This year's 04 models have only been upgraded to Euro III standards because of the national requirements of the Euro II standard. . According to the analysis of experts, the reason why the 04 Mondeo did not meet the Euro III emission standards should be mainly to reduce production costs on the basis of meeting current Chinese standards, so as to drive down prices without any other special reason. Another POLO, who also claims to be in sync with the world, has previously reported that it has reached the Euro III standard, but Shanghai Volkswagen's customer service staff has denied this claim. Feature 2: Japanese cars mostly meet the Euro III standards: Corolla, Vios, Accord, Fit, Sunshine, Ma 6 The manufacturers that have reached the Euro III standard are not European and American cars, but Japanese cars. Japanese car companies Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda, each with its flagship product Corolla, Accord, Sunshine, and Ma 6, all reached the Euro III high emission standard without exception. Although many people are very pessimistic about the fact that the domestic corolla is not the latest 10th generation, the corolla does indeed meet high standards in terms of emission standards. Nissan also donated two car styles (Cefino and X-Trail) that meet the Euro III standards to the China Automotive Technology and Research Center to help China develop vehicle exhaust emission standards. Feature 3: Different emission standards Different emission standards represent models: Golf and Polaris even if the same model, due to different emissions, emissions standards are also different. The most typical ones are Golf and Polaris owned by FAW-Volkswagen, 1.6L is Euro II, 1.8L is Euro III, and Bora 1.8T even reached IV. Similar to Nanjing Fiat, the Palio, Sienna, and the weekend winds are all European II standards, and the semaphore became a Euro III. Feature 4: SUV emissions are not optimistic on behalf of models: Jeep 2500, Toyota Land Cruiser, Paladin and cars compared to SUV is not only oily, emissions are also mostly "high" people, generally is the European II standard, only the Dongfeng Honda C -RV and Toyota Overbearing reached Euro III. Among them, the Pajero speed run by Beijing-based Jeep, the Jeep 2500, and the Outlander are all Euro II standards. The Euro III standard to be implemented in Beijing next year will undoubtedly force Beijing Jeep to accelerate the pace of technological transformation and launch the agreement as soon as possible. Euro III standard SUV. In comparison, the prospects of whether low-tech domestically produced low-end SUVs can complete technical renovations in a timely manner are still unclear, and people are really sweating for them. Overall, from the survey data, only about 30% of the vehicles on the market have reached the Euro III standard, and most of the Euro III models have been put into operation in the past two years. Therefore, for Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, these old models more companies, the task of technological transformation is particularly arduous, so Shanghai Volkswagen will take precautions to start the production of Euro III standard Santana 3000 in advance, I believe Shanghai GM will also step up in addition to Excelle Outside the car for technical transformation. Of course, as consumers, in addition to whether their cars can meet the standard, the most concerned is whether there will be a substantial increase in the price of the Euro III models that have been transformed. According to a professor from the School of Automotive Engineering at Tongji University, Euro III vehicles need to invest a lot of manpower and resources in research and development. Through the improvement of the original equipment, vehicles with lower emission levels will meet high emission standards. However, once the improvement of the original equipment alone fails to meet the requirements, it is necessary to add accessories, which will inevitably lead to an increase in costs and ultimately to the price of the car. However, there is no quantitative data on how much the cost will increase. In addition, meeting higher emission standards may contradict fuel economy and fuel consumption may increase slightly.
