Four key departments recently convened a symposium, gathering major producers of trucks, passenger vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. The meeting underscored the necessity for automotive and motorcycle manufacturers to align with the decisions and strategies set forth by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. It called for a commitment to quality enhancement, a steadfast resistance to irrational competition, a guarantee of product safety, and the preservation of a just and competitive market environment. The specific mandates outlined are as follows:
Firstly, manufacturers must take full responsibility for product safety, heighten their awareness of compliance, seek product approval in strict accordance with the stipulations of the 'Announcement,' and actively combat any illegal modifications.
Secondly, a comprehensive investigation into potential product safety hazards is imperative.
Thirdly, there is a need to bolster the consistency of product manufacturing processes, refine systems such as qualification certificate management, and intensify inspections on both critical components and complete vehicles.
Fourthly, vehicle functionality testing and safety evaluations must be strengthened. This involves enhancing research and development testing capabilities, conducting thorough assessments of vehicle safety performance, and strictly forbidding 'reckless innovation' and the incorporation of non-compliant structures in vehicles.
