What does the National Standard Vehicle mean?

The new national standard refers to the "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles". China is the country with the largest production and sales of electric bicycles. To regulate industry development and ensure the safety of users' lives and property, the new national standard specifies the maximum speed, vehicle weight, and battery voltage of electric bicycles. At the same time, the newly revised "General Technical Conditions for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Light Motorcycles" officially came into effect on April 1 this year. Correspondingly, this new standard also defines a series of important parameters for electric motorcycles and electric light motorcycles, including maximum speed and overall vehicle weight. Workers at heights should fasten safety belts as required; safety belts should bear the manufacturer's name, production date, extension length, license number, and inspection certificate from the inspection department. Safety belts should be hung high and used low. Care should be taken to prevent swinging and collision. The length of the safety rope should be limited to 1.5~2.0m, and a buffer should be added when using a long rope exceeding 3m. Knotting is not allowed, and hooks should not be directly attached to the safety rope but should be connected to the linking ring. Various components of the safety belt should be sampled once after more than two years of use.
I usually enjoy driving for daily commuting, and a national standard vehicle is one that complies with China's national standards. Simply put, it meets various regulations during the design phase, such as emission tests under standards like GB18352, with the current common version being China VI. There are also safety requirements, such as side collision protection and headlight brightness needing to meet standards. There are many benefits to buying such a car, like easier annual inspections and lower fuel consumption in daily use. My current car is China V standard, with sufficient power and being eco-friendly. Common related issues include fuses or bulbs being prone to failure, but maintenance is convenient due to the universal parts. When choosing a car, check the GB mark on the vehicle qualification certificate for confirmation, and electric vehicles also have similar national standard certifications. Overall, it's reliable and reassuring.
I have extensive experience in car repair. National Standard vehicles refer to those manufactured according to China's national standards. Technically, they include mandatory specifications such as engine emission controls and braking performance. Economically, they are cost-effective with affordable and easily available parts, widely circulating in the market like National IV and National V models. Common repairs involve combination switches or fewer short-circuit issues due to standardized designs, but aging vehicles may require fuse replacements. The benefits include fuel efficiency and low-maintenance. Now, stricter National VI standards ensure more environmental friendliness. Before purchasing, check the GB codes in the manual to avoid non-compliant vehicles.
