·The state improves the tire pressure monitoring or standardization of new car safety standards

Recently, the "Performance Requirements and Test Methods for Passenger Car Tire Pressure Monitoring System" passed the mandatory national standard technical review and will be officially released after approval by the National Standards Committee. This means that the tire pressure monitoring system will become a mandatory “standard” for new vehicles in the future. This "Xipu Puben" news means that tire pressure monitoring will no longer be exclusive to luxury cars or high-end vehicles. In fact, the reporter found that as the cost of technology decreases, the country's safety standards for new cars will increase, and more “high-tech configurations” will be popularized on Volkswagen models.
  Why is it "standard"? More than half of the accident caused by a flat tire
Previously, ordinary vehicles had to have tire pressure monitoring functions, either they needed extra money to assemble, or they had to buy high-priced models with thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. The sagitar of Mr. Chen, the owner of Guangzhou, is to add 3,000 yuan to add tire pressure monitoring after picking up the car. Today, tire pressure monitoring will become the “free” standard for new cars, just like airbags.
The reporter was informed that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Standards Committee set the tire pressure monitoring as the mandatory configuration of the new car because the driver can ensure that the tire pressure is within the normal range and reduce the probability of casualties through the tire pressure monitoring. The reporter learned from the data released by the Ministry of Public Security that more than half of the highway traffic accidents that occur in China each year are caused by punctures. The car with a speed of 120 km/h at high speed has a death rate of nearly 100 in the case of front tire puncture. %. Bridgestone tire engineers told reporters that in addition to tire damage, tires, whether the tire pressure is too high or too low, the risk of puncture is quite high, once the puncture occurs at high speed, the driver is often scared The lack of correct strain handling can also cause significant interference to other vehicles on the same road, leading to fatal accidents. Engineers believe that once tire pressure monitoring is in place, the driver can know what to do, keep the tires in time or adjust the tire pressure by simply inflating or deflated.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, tire pressure monitoring is an active safety system that, in addition to preventing puncture accidents, extends tire life, maintains vehicle fuel economy and reduces wear on the suspension system. The data shows that if only the passenger car tire pressure is normal, the fuel consumption will be 1.01 million tons per year and the fuel cost will be 7.6 billion yuan.
Tip: Don't pay for the “standard”
Journalists are often consulted by readers: Why are some configurations mandatory in foreign countries, but they have been streamlined in China, or only in top models?
The reason is that these configurations must be mandatory for installation in the country. For example, the most popular ESP (body stability system), currently sold in the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, are required to be equipped with ESP, the number released by the EU shows that since November 2014 forced new car implementation with ESP In just one year, ESP prevented 33,000 traffic accidents and saved more than 1,000 lives, although only about 40% of cars used ESP at the time. The tire pressure monitoring system is also a standard configuration that has been mandatory for installation in the United States, the European Union, and South Korea. In addition, the EU also mandated the installation of daytime driving, automatic brake assist system (AEB) and automatic emergency call system for new vehicles; the United States requires that all vehicles sold in the United States must have side airbags and rear view cameras installed.
Industry insiders suggest that when buying a car, you must obtain a detailed configuration table to see the configuration of the selected models, do not be fooled by sales, and extra "standard configuration" to pay the bill.
“If the tire pressure monitoring becomes 'standard', the consumer does not need to spend extra money. During the transition period of the standard implementation, if the 4S shop indicates that the new car is not equipped before the factory, it is recommended that the consumer check the factory of the new car. Whether the date is true or not, to ensure that there should be an interest." Ms. Li, a joint venture brand sales manager, told reporters that especially the stock car, because of the price concessions, 4S shop habits will bundle some boutique sales.

● What car configuration will be forced to assemble?
The system involved in vehicle safety is the key to the National Standards Committee considering whether it can become a “standard”. For example, from July 1 this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information and other departments jointly issued a document to force the minivan to install the ABS system. Before ABS was installed by the auto company, there was no mandatory requirement. But why is the ESP such an important security configuration not yet a "standard" for new cars in China? An industry insider explained that ESP is currently the “recommendation standard” for Chinese cars. From “recommendation standards” to “mandatory standards”, a certain transition time is required.
Li Weijing, deputy director of the Safety Glass Sub-Technical Committee of the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee, said that some of the current recommended standards will gradually be converted into mandatory standards, such as the “Guidelines for Air Quality Assessment in Passenger Cars”, which was implemented on March 1, 2012. , is a recommended standard, but has been revised into a mandatory standard in recent years.
In addition, the reporter learned from some manufacturers that ESP involves the adjustment of the driving computer and the complex cooperation of the vehicle's software and hardware. It is not like the tire pressure monitoring can be installed later, and it is easy to popularize, so it takes a certain time to become a mandatory standard. Insiders pointed out that from the actual new car sales, consumers need to choose the vehicle that suits their security needs.
● Is there a gap between domestic and international standards?
Industry experts said that China has formed a relatively complete mandatory national standard system for automobiles in terms of vehicle quality and safety.
The reporter noticed from the official website of the National Standards Committee that the current standardization committee's mandatory standardization work for automobiles is mainly focused on the technology and parts and components of the production process. There are not many mandatory standards for car configuration, such as the installation of a car tachograph, which is currently only a recommended standard.
Li Weijing, deputy director of the Safety Glass Sub-Technical Committee of the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee, said that in order to ensure the quality of automotive products, especially to meet the requirements of safety, environmental protection and energy conservation, countries have formulated a series of automotive standards. China is no exception, but she said: "China has issued more than 1,000 automotive standards, the vast majority of which are recommended standards."
However, Liu Zhaobin, chief engineer of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, believes that in the protection of occupants and pedestrians in the car, the mandatory national standards for adult car seat belts and child restraint systems in China have reached the international advanced level. National standards for car brakes, steering, lighting, wheels and tire assemblies to protect the safety of all types of personnel, as well as national standards such as seats and door locks, are basically complete.
