"the components of the engine ignition, fuel supply, lubrication, cooling and
exhaust systems shall be complete", etc. (4.1 of 2001 version);
- DELETE such requirements as "the technical conditions of the vehicle
body and the cab shall be such as able to ensure the driver have normal
working conditions and passenger & cargo safety", the structural size of
"safety exit", "sleeper bus sleeper layout", "aisle width", "passenger door
first step height", and "fender", etc. (SEE 11.8.1,11.8.9,11.8.12 ~ 11.8.15,
etc. of 2001 version);
- ADD the evaluation indicators of the power of the vehicles in use (SEE
5.2.1);
- MODIFY the fuel consumption limit of the vehicles in use (SEE 5.2.2;
Chapter 4 and 12.2 of 2001 version);
- ADD the requirements for the braking system of the vehicles in use and
the braking performance of category O3 and O4 trailers and semi-trailers
(SEE 5.2.3);
- MODIFY the requirements for the limit of the emission pollutants of the
ignition engine of the vehicles in use and the emission visible pollutants of
the compression-ignition engine vehicles; ADD the requirements of ignition
engine using the sample working condition method and the
compression-ignition engine using the load deceleration method (SEE
5.2.4; 9.1 and 12.7 of 2001 version);
- DELETE the requirements for the "gasoline vehicle fuel evaporation
pollutant emission control" and "vehicle stationary noise" (SEE 9.1.3 and
9.2.1 of 2001 version);
- ADD the requirements for the "lateral slip of the steering wheel" of the
double steering axle of the vehicles in use (SEE 5.2.5.1);
- MODIFY the evaluation indicators of the "wheel retardation rate" of the
vehicles in use (SEE 5.3.3; 6.13.1.5 of 2001 version);
- ADD and MODIFY the test methods of the basic requirements and the
performance requirements of the vehicles in use (SEE Chapter 6);
- MODIFY the test methods of the "power", "fuel consumption", and "braking
performance" of the vehicles in use (SEE 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7, etc.);
- DELETE the methods of evaluating the "suspension characteristics" using

- ADD the "judgment and treatment of the test results of the road vehicles in
use" (SEE Chapter 7);
Introduction
Road transport vehicles have distinctive characteristics and features, AND
their operating intensity, operating mileage, and failure frequency are much
higher than the ordinary social vehicles. In all kinds of traffic accidents, the
road transport vehicles constitute the main road traffic accidents, in addition to
drivers, roads and climatic conditions and other factors, the vehicle's
mechanical failure and technical performance badness are the important
causes for the serious road traffic accidents.
Road transport safety is not only the top priority of safety production, but also
the top priority of traffic safety management, the "comprehensive prevention of
traffic accidents, to build a safe and harmonious road traffic environment" have
been highly focused by the government and industry managers, AND the
"safety, energy conservation, and environmental protection" has become a
focus of the whole society. From the factors affecting the road transport safety
such as "people, vehicle, road and environment", the safeguarding effects of
the vehicle's technical conditions are more and more prominent. The effective
maintaining the vehicle's technical conditions, reducing the occurrence of
safety accidents, minimizing the occurrence of serious accidents, reducing
vehicle fuel consumption, and reducing tailgas emissions are urgent for the
technical management of the road transport vehicles under the new situations
of safe development, green development and fast development of the road
transport industry in China.
National standard "Multiple performance requirement and detecting methods
for commercial vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as "GB 18565-2001") is an
important technical regulation and main technical basis for the technical
management and performance maintenance of the road transport vehicles in
China. From the date of implementation of this standard, it plays an important
role in such aspects as improving the road transport vehicle performance level
and safeguarding the road traffic safety, etc. Meanwhile, in the implementation
process of GB 18565-2001, some new situations and problems appear, AND
many standard users propose the modification opinions and suggestions.
Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately revise GB 18565-2001. The
contents as specified in the revised GB 18565 are not only the comprehensive
performance requirements of the road transport vehicles in use, but also the
basic technical conditions to be complied with by the application of the road
transport vehicles. This revision pays more attention to the development
characteristics of the road traffic industry, combines closely with the recently
issued relevant policies, laws and regulations, and new technologies, makes
important adjustment against the standard structure, appropriately makes
necessary addition and deletion of some technical clauses, modifies, improves
Composite performance requirement and
detecting methods for road transport vehicles
