Empty cars are overloaded？ There are many problems behind ＂light goods＂

　　CCTV News:Pay attention to a kind of truck that you will see in the city — — Blue brand light goods are light trucks with blue license plates. Compared with medium and heavy trucks with yellow cards, some cities in China have no restrictions on blue light goods. Since January 1st this year, the transportation department has also cancelled the freight qualification certificate and vehicle operation certificate of blue light goods, and drivers can drive as long as they have a driver’s license for small cars. The data shows that in 2018, the national sales volume of light trucks was nearly 400,000 units. In the first quarter of this year, the sales volume increased by more than 10% year-on-year. However, light goods are light, that is, cars are relatively light, and the goods pulled must not be too heavy. However, people who buy trucks generally want to pull more goods to earn money. In this way, some people secretly came up with a way to produce light trucks that can pull more goods, and many people bought them. However, there were also many subsequent troubles.

　　It is "annoying" to buy a car and run on the road.

　　The 38-year-old Leevane Hsiung’s hometown is in northern Shaanxi. At the beginning of this year, he went to Xi ‘an. At the suggestion of a friend, he bought a truck and started running transportation. After running for a while, Li Wenxiong discovered that what he was doing was worrying.

　　Running transportation was a serious business, but how did it become a thief? Leevane Hsiung said that the problem lies in the weight of this truck. He bought a light truck, the length of which must be limited to 4.2 meters, and it can hang the same blue brand as ordinary cars, so the industry also calls this kind of car 4.2 m blue brand light. According to the regulations, in addition to limiting the length, light trucks also limit the total mass, that is, the total cargo weight, which can not exceed 4.5 tons at most. For this truck in Leevane Hsiung, the door and driving license are marked with a total mass of 4,495 kilograms, that is to say, after loading the goods, the total cargo weight can not exceed 4.495 tons. But Leevane Hsiung said, this label is a complete cover.

　　Leevane Hsiung, the owner of the truck, has a self-weight of 4.2 tons. The total weight limit of the truck is 4.495 tons, minus 4.2 tons, only 300 kilograms can be pulled. There are three people in the cab of this car. If you sit on two people, I’m sorry, maybe you don’t want to pull the goods.

　　The marked weight is 2.565 tons and the actual weight is 4.32 tons.

　　However, the reporter noticed that the nameplate and driving license of Leevane Hsiung vehicles showed that the kerb quality of this truck, that is, its self-weight was 2.565 tons. How could Leevane Hsiung say that its actual self-weight was more than 4 tons? Facing the reporter’s question, Leevane Hsiung drove an empty car and randomly found a weighing station.

　　Indeed, the weighing shows that the actual weight of the empty truck has reached 4.32 tons, and this weighing is only under the condition that the fuel tank is half full. Leevane Hsiung said that when running and transporting on the road, the fuel tank was filled with 70 kilograms and the water tank was filled with 200 kilograms. In this way, even if one kilogram of goods was not pulled, it was already overloaded. It’s not just Leevane Hsiung who encounters this dilemma. It’s another owner of Xi ‘an, Wang Xiangdong. This is a blue brand light truck purchased by Wang Xiangdong at the end of 2018, produced by Sichuan Nanjun Automobile Group. The maximum total weight limit of goods marked on the truck door and driving license is 4.495 tons. What’s the actual situation?

　　The truck’s self-weight marked on the certificate and driving license is 2.72 tons, but the actual self-weight has reached 5.8 tons, which is also inconsistent with the real situation. According to the tonnage limit of light trucks, even if all the fuel tanks and water tanks are removed, it is overloaded.

　　During the interview, the reporter just caught up with Wang Xiangdong and bought a new blue brand light truck, which is the Dexuan X9 dump truck produced by a local enterprise in Shaanxi. The certificate shows that the vehicle weighs 2,600 kilograms, but the actual weight is far more than that.

　　Since there is a problem with the vehicle’s own load, why do car owners buy such vehicles?

　　The car owners are willing to fight for the moment.

　　Small car, flexibility and freedom, convenient access to the city, suitable for urban distribution and low cost, all these advantages make light trucks popular, but they also make some people think badly of temporary benefits. Insiders told reporters that the original positioning of this light truck was to transport lightweight goods such as daily necessities and household appliances, so the self-weight was low. However, in order to seize the transportation market, some automobile manufacturers violate the announcement in actual production, and increase the load capacity of vehicles by weighting them, so as to pull more goods.

　　In addition to manufacturing, vehicle registration and registration, relevant laws and regulations also have clear requirements for technical parameters of motor vehicles. The motor vehicle registration regulations revised and issued by the public security department in 2012 clearly pointed out that the relevant technical data of motor vehicles are inconsistent with the announcement data; Not to apply for registration. However, how do the owners of these vehicles with inconsistent self-weight and actual self-weight register and get the license plate?

　　According to the owner, in fact, when buying a car, both parties are tacitly aware that the owner pays the money and the salesperson is responsible for licensing. Take Wang Xiangdong as an example, when buying this Dexuan X9 dump truck, in addition to the normal car payment, it also paid 2,500 yuan as the license fee.

　　Not only this sales company, but also the reporter interviewed randomly in the largest light truck sales market in Xi ‘an, and all the salespeople they contacted gave a promise to get on the card.

　　On-line testing date must be "exquisite" on Saturday.

　　Why did it go online on Saturday? The salesperson did not disclose it. Is it really what they said? The reporter decided to follow Wang Xiangdong’s field investigation. About ten days after getting the new car back, the salesperson called and asked Wang Xiangdong to go online for testing on April 27th, and said that all the materials had been handed over to the intermediary and the relationship had been coordinated. Sure enough, it is Saturday. Early the next morning, Wang Xiangdong came to the inspection station designated by the sales staff, Shaanxi Yongzhi Motor Vehicle Inspection Station. There was already a long queue at the door, all of which were blue brand light vehicles similar to those in Wang Xiangdong. Wang Xiangdong got through to the intermediary.

　　After a while, the intermediary called again. Wang Xiangdong pulled into the testing station yard and was greeted by a man in overalls.

　　After confirming the basic information of the owner’s name and frame number, the man left a piece of material and opened it. Both the reporter and Wang Xiangdong were taken aback. It turned out that this was a pre-filled inspection list, and the kerb quality was self-weight. It was 2600kg, dated April 26th, one day earlier than the inspection date. According to the regulations, if a motor vehicle wants to be registered, it must pass the vehicle inspection, and the kerb quality of the truck is its own weight, which is a mandatory item. However, in Shaanxi Yongzhi Motor Vehicle Inspection Station, there was no inspection at all, so Wang Xiangdong got the inspection record sheet, and it was also a premature delivery certificate.

　　After the initial inspection, there was a re-inspection. On April 29th, the reporter and Wang Xiangdong came to the inspection station again.

　　The initial inspection of fraud and re-inspection do not check the weight.

　　In this way, the truck successfully passed the so-called test and got the license plate and driving license. According to the regulations, the inspection agencies and the traffic management departments of public security organs should conduct supervision and inspection through remote audit, spot check and file review. An insider who used to be in charge of technical work at a testing station in Shaanxi told reporters that under normal circumstances, testing institutions should rest in Japan on Saturday, and choosing such a time period to license the problem vehicles is actually a tacit understanding reached between the regulatory authorities and testing institutions.

　　If there is a problem in many links, the car will be checked on the road.

　　The lack of supervision in the production process, the tacit understanding of truck owners and sales personnel, and the open cheating of testing institutions have made these problem vehicles drive on the road. However, the inherent problem of empty cars being overweight makes these vehicles face punishment all the time. During the interview, the light car originally purchased by Wang Xiangdong was seized by the traffic police because it was overloaded.

　　It turns out that this truck in Wang Xiangdong can only pull 1.58 tons of goods according to regulations, but when the traffic police seized it, his car pulled nearly 14 tons of goods, which was seriously overloaded.

　　After paying the fine, Wang Xiangdong drove the truck that was overloaded when it was empty. For him, only by continuing to run fast can he make up for the loss. Overloading, punishment and overloading, shippers are in this vicious circle every day, which also poses a great threat to the vehicle itself and road safety.

　　Safety is no small matter "light goods" must be light.

　　Professionals told reporters that, as we said just now, these vehicles whose actual weight is higher than the announced weight and are illegally produced and licensed are called "big tons and small labels" by people in the industry. Some car companies regard light goods as a selling point, and they have already exceeded the tonnage limit before leaving the factory. This is an open "secret" in the industry, which has spawned a gray interest chain of forging data and illegally licensing. The country has a series of laws, regulations and standards for trucks, from manufacturing, registration to road transportation. Its primary purpose is to ensure safety, vehicle safety, pedestrians safety and you and me safety. However, in the face of interests, security has been forgotten, supervision has become a decoration, and the system has become a dead letter. In order to change this distorted situation, it is necessary for all departments to work together, especially from the production and registration links, establish a traceability and backward investigation mechanism, strictly supervise and seriously pursue responsibility, create a safe travel environment, and let "light goods" really travel lightly.
