Car series ready for Euro 5 standard in Vietnam

Decision No. 49/2011/QD/TTg of the Prime Minister is about to be approved and applied, many car manufacturers have pioneered to launch models that meet Level 5 emission standards (Euro 5).

In the first phase of applying Decision No. 49/2011/QD/TTg of the Prime Minister, car manufacturers of the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association (VAMA) have been actively preparing to launch more models. new vehicles according to Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5) and implementing communication activities to raise consumer awareness about the correct use of Level 5 fuel for vehicles applying the Level 5 emission standards 5 under the new regulations.

Typically some Toyota models such as Alphard, Land Cruiser, Land Prado, Fortuner, Camry, Corolla Cross, Yaris, Raize. In 2022, car manufacturers are actively implementing plans to introduce new car models to consumers. In early January 2022, Isuzu launched the Isuzu Master Euro 5 Green Power truck generation with a full range of payloads from 01 to 15 tons.

Mitsubishi will introduce 04 new products: Triton, Xpander, Attrage and Pajero Sport in May 2022. 04 Toyota standard models including Vios, Hilux, Corolla Altis and Avanza are also expected to be launched this year, and Toyota is moving towards the goal that all Toyota products meet Level 5 emission standards. (corresponding to Euro 5) in 2023.

The common point of vehicles that meet Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5) is that they are all equipped with OBD emission sensors as well as air purification devices to reduce the content of pollutant emissions ( PM) and polluting gases (CO, HC, NOx) into the air.

In addition, there is a change in the appearance and design of the car to give customers a better experience when using the car. Car manufacturers will apply the same warranty policy as previous models to customers, most of which is 3 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first.

Communication activities to raise consumers’ awareness about the correct use of Level 5 fuel for vehicles meeting Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5) have been implemented by VAMA since before the Government’s decision. being officially applied has contributed to disseminating information to the masses.

In social networking groups, consumers have begun to share more information related to the purchase and use of vehicles and fuel that meet Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5). Car manufacturers also receive many questions from customers who are interested in the fuel economy of models that meet Level 5 emissions standards (corresponding to Euro 5) and the operation of the vehicle for daily activities. in parallel with the protection of the surrounding environment.

For automakers that have launched models that meet Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5) before such as Toyota, sales are relatively good because consumers have had a long time to approach the car line. new product. However, newly launched models will need more time for the market to accept.

A representative of Isuzu Vietnam said: “At the moment, vehicles that meet Euro 4 emission standards are still allowed to be sold and circulated, so customers’ interest in vehicles with Euro 5 emission standards has not yet been achieved. really big”.

However, fuel that meets emission standards at Level 5 (corresponding to Euro 5) has not yet been widely sold in the market, only concentrated in a few specific localities and regions. This makes it difficult for consumers to find the right fuel for their vehicle.

Explaining this fact, the representative of VAMA said that because fuel that meets Level 5 standards (corresponding to Euro 5) cannot be produced domestically, it must be imported, so it takes more time to increase the volume. In addition, suppliers must balance the needs of customers to adjust pumping stations, warehouses at fuel stations, balance inventory with financial resources, and the escalating situation of world oil prices. …

Currently, VAMA is still working with VINPA in making recommendations to state management agencies to come up with solutions to overcome, however, there still needs to be closer coordination between ministries, departments, branches and related units. to ensure that Decision 49/2011/QD-TTg is comprehensively implemented, maximum customer support as soon as possible.

Besides, the awareness of vehicle users about using the right type of fuel, in accordance with the technical requirements of the vehicle is also extremely important, from which there are resolute requirements forcing the fuel supply system to oil must meet.

Car manufacturers expect that in the near future, fuel that meets Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5) will be widely available in the market for customers to use vehicle products that meet Level 5 emission standards ( corresponding Euro 5) have easy access to fuel of the respective standard.

Accurate information related to Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5) and the application of Level 5 emission standards (corresponding to Euro 5) of VAMA members will be continuously updated on the main website. of the Association
