In addition, the notice also made it clear that the newly revised implementation rules for mandatory product certifications for automobiles will be fully implemented, and national standards related to fuel consumption will be promoted; passenger car companies that fail to meet the standard fuel consumption and fail to meet their commitments will pass customs clearance at the customs. The supervision, inspection of imports, verification of production consistency, etc. shall be strengthened.
