School bus standards still have a threshold to be released in March

The first domestic exhibition for school buses has attracted industry attention recently, and discussion of school bus standards has also entered a critical stage. According to sources, the controversial new school bus standard is expected to be released in March. According to the revised standards, most mainstream bus companies can achieve it.

The reduction of the new school bus standard means that the purchase price of school buses will also be reduced accordingly. A survey data shows that there are more than 200 million primary and secondary school students in China. There are tens of millions of people who need to ride a school bus. According to the calculation of 40 people per vehicle, the demand for school buses is as high as one million, and the market value is RMB 300 billion.

The 300 billion yuan is not a small amount, but if the car company allocated to the country is still a small sum. It is reported that at present, there are 42 enterprises with school bus production qualifications in China, which are distributed on average and each has a size of less than 30,000 vehicles.

However, if the establishment of standards is too high, it is bound to block some car companies outside the school bus, the cost of the school bus prices will remain high.

Under the premise of clear channels for the purchase of school buses in the country, the school bus standards must first be considered safe. From the previous discussion of the school bus safety draft, the reduction in safety standards is undoubtedly a number of companies using standards and prices as an excuse to seek their own commercial interests and market opportunities.

In the formulation of some domestic policies, the government departments also have their own preferences. To give money and to give them no money should be taken into consideration for the government departments. If the principle of inclusiveness is adopted, then there will be no constraint on the purchase of school buses in the future, which will eventually cause the market of 300 billion yuan to become a mess.

What's more, school buses should have higher body strength standards than regular buses. American school buses require roof compression strength 1.5 times that of buses.

If there is no restriction on the school bus standards, with the gradual release of demand, bus companies and products entering the product announcement will continue to increase. For those administrations that have repeatedly been troubled by corporate speculation and overcapacity, how to prevent domestic car companies from crowding into the school bus market will become an unavoidable regulatory issue.

In fact, school bus standards should still set a certain threshold. At a minimum, passenger train chassis qualifications, technical research centers, sales scales, and other requirements should be met, because school buses are more demanding than ordinary passenger cars in terms of safety, and bus companies are required to have stronger technical strength. Make sure. For the school bus standards, from scratch, although the previous standard is strict, the investment will be more, but the ultimate goal is to be responsible for the safety of children, but also responsible for the future development of China's school bus industry.
