Automotive emissions standards usher in the State III era of domestic commercial vehicle prices brewing price increases


After the implementation of the national III standard will significantly increase the cost of car companies

After brewing for two and a half years, the National III emission standards were finally enforced nationwide yesterday. In an interview, the reporter found that in the era of the State III emission standards, the cost of domestic commercial vehicle manufacturers will increase significantly, and under the dual pressure of continuous rise in steel prices, commercial vehicle manufacturers are brewing prices during the year.

Manufacturing costs rise sharply

“The increase in emission standards has the greatest impact on our commercial vehicles.” The distributor of FAW Jiefang stated in an interview that “From State II to State III, it means that the engine technology has been completely updated, and this is precisely the value of domestic commercial vehicle companies. Weaknesses. Many technologies need to be imported. Of course, the cost will increase a lot."

"The growth point of commercial vehicle production costs is mainly in the engine." A car manufacturing expert disclosed to reporters that from the national II standard upgrade to the national III standard, the engine manufacturing cost may increase by 1-3 million, the overall cost will increase 6%-10%.

This view has been recognized by China National Heavy Duty Truck. Responsible officials from the Heavy Industry Propaganda Department believe that after implementing the National III emission standards, the cost of heavy trucks will increase substantially. For example, the electronically controlled EGR III engine independently developed by CNHTC has a cost increase of approximately 1 million yuan compared with its National II engine.

In the second half of the brewing price increase

“The sales of our heavy trucks were surprisingly good in May and June. This is because we think we have to raise prices, so we all want to buy the cars before the implementation of the National III standard in July.” A heavy truck dealer interviewed When this is indicated.

In fact, consumer concerns about the increase in prices of commercial vehicles are not without reason. The news from various commercial vehicle companies, after experiencing continuous rise in raw material prices, companies have no ability to fully absorb the cost pressures caused by emission upgrades. In the second half of the year, the rising trend of commercial vehicles is inevitable.

A light truck manufacturer told reporters that at present, the domestic low-end light trucks are still in the national standard phase II, the price does not exceed 80,000 yuan, the national standard after the implementation of the standard a substantial increase in costs, these light-card companies will be difficult to hold on.

China National Heavy Duty Truck recently took the lead in making public statements and did not rule out the possibility of heavy trucks continuing to increase prices. The pre-sale price of Nanjing Iveco's new car, Baodi, has been more than 20,000 yuan higher than that of the similar products of this time. The price of different models of SAIC-GM-Wuling rose from RMB 1,000 to RMB 5,000.

Commercial Vehicle Industry Faces Big Test

In the interview, many dealers are also worried that once the car price rises, it will undoubtedly worsen the already deserted sales. They are generally worried about sales in the second half of the year.

According to analysis by industry insiders, the situation of commercial vehicles is more worrying this year, and the early release of consumer demand will cause companies to face ups and downs in the second half of the year. If companies can't plan ahead and do a good job of cost control, they will certainly face the test of survival in the future.

“The short-term factors including oil price, fuel tax, and China III emission standards in 2008 and the lagging impact of the weight-based charging policy in 2007 will make commercial vehicles face severe challenges,” said Xu Changming, director of the Information Resources Development Department of the National Information Center. The trend of the commercial vehicle market in 2008 will be a watershed with the official implementation of the National III emission standards in July and will be at a low ebb.
