Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: After two years, the fuel consumption of family vehicles must be less than 3.3L/100km

Are petrol trucks really out of favour? With the release of fuel consumption indicators by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the fuel consumption of models sold in the domestic market from January 2026, and the quality of models between 1.09 tons and 2.51 tons, WLTC fuel consumption must be controlled within 3.3 liters per 100 kilometers! Even more than 2.51 tons of models, its 100 km fuel consumption needs to be controlled at 4.7 liters, and like 1.09 tons of vehicles, its 100 km fuel consumption needs to be as low as 2.57 liters.

Everyone hurry to see their vehicle quality in which range! And most of the family car between 1.09 tons to 2.51 tons, which also indicates that most of the family fuel vehicle market, two years later has not met the national standard! There’s not much time left for the fuel truck.

Of course, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued this public solicitation “Passenger vehicle fuel consumption evaluation methods and indicators”, is not necessarily a bad thing. Because the announcement of these two mandatory national standard indicators is actually to further enhance the technical requirements of fuel vehicles, and it is also in line with the general direction of national energy conservation and emission reduction.

Many people say that this is to further compress the living space of fuel vehicles, the biggest target is those joint venture fuel vehicles, independent brands are fully new energy, the pressure is not so big! Oh, really?

According to this fuel consumption indicator, most of the joint venture fuel vehicles on the market, especially 2.0L displacement SUVs, MPV and other models will be eliminated, even Nissan Syly, Honda Fit and other fuel-efficient models, the fuel consumption is far more than this requirement standard.

But eagle-eyed netizens also found that even the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers of autonomous hybrid models is not so low as 3.3L! For example, BYD Qin L equipped with the latest DM5.0 plug-in hybrid technology, WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 1.11L/100km, but its loss fuel consumption is 3.8L/100km.

It can be seen that if this fuel consumption standard is really implemented, not only joint-venture vehicles dominated by fuel vehicles will be very uncomfortable, but many domestic vehicles will be under great pressure. You look at a lot of new car models, although the green card is hung, but the use of extended range hybrid power, the actual fuel consumption index is far beyond the level of 3.3L/100km.

Why is the country so “cruel” to set such strict fuel consumption targets?

This is not in disguise to eliminate fuel vehicles, but to allow major car companies to accelerate technological iteration and launch more energy-saving models, and can no longer spend money to buy points as before, or make money by lying flat with old technology.

In addition, after the introduction of this standard, not only will the joint venture car companies have a great impact, but also will allow those new forces without core technology to accelerate the completion of technological updates, otherwise they will be eliminated. This is also a good thing for consumers, because the new standards are equivalent to raising the threshold for making cars, which can’t be made without good technology.

But when the new standard arrives, who will fall first? It has to be those pure fuel powered “luxury cars”! It is reported that in order to comply with the new fuel consumption regulations in China, Porsche confirmed that it will push the Cayenne and Paramela pure electric version!

N Comments: The new fuel consumption standard will be implemented on January 1, 2026, which is good for consumers, lower fuel consumption and save money, but at the same time, the future of fuel vehicles may be less and less selective. If the market and policy only require you to buy new energy vehicles or pure trams, do you support it? Welcome to leave a message interactive.
