On December 9, CCTV's "Morning News" spotlighted a major transformation in the hazardous goods transport industry—the mandatory national standard GB21668-2025, "Safety Technical Requirements for Dangerous Goods Transport Vehicles," will be fully implemented on July 1, 2026. In this authoritative report, the new standard, led by the Wuhan Testing Center of China Automotive Technology and Research Center and deeply participated in by Cimc Vehicles (Stock Code: 301039.SZ), was interpreted through the company's tanker trucks, showcasing China's upgraded hazardous transport safety system and affirming Cimc Vehicles' technological leadership in the sector.
Replacing three outdated standards, including GB21668-2008, GB21668-2025 establishes a comprehensive safety framework covering vehicle design, manufacturing, and usage. Key upgrades address industry pain points: medium and large vehicles must now be equipped with ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and AEBS (Automatic Emergency Braking System), while stricter requirements are imposed on tank structural strength, rear protection distance, and thermal runaway protection for new energy vehicle batteries. The standard also aligns with UN regulations for hazardous goods transport, signaling a significant rise in safety thresholds where compliance becomes a survival necessity rather than a baseline.
As a leader in China's hazardous transport equipment sector, Cimc Vehicles contributed its technical expertise and market experience to the standard's revision, providing critical insights for implementation. The experimental tanker truck featured in the CCTV report exemplifies the company's capabilities: its European-style two-section tank design, compliant safety devices, and smart monitoring terminals enable real-time data uploads for pressure and location, fully meeting ESC and AEBS mandates while pre-adapting to new energy transport specifications.
Cimc Vehicles' role as the "physical benchmark" for the new standard stems from its relentless safety commitment. The company proactively integrated smart safety features and structural optimizations into its products ahead of regulations, achieving "compliance upon delivery" while surpassing key safety performance metrics. This reflects its "preventive safety-first" philosophy, backed by years of industry insights and continuous improvements in vehicle reliability, operational efficiency, and lifecycle costs.
The CCTV coverage not only promotes the new national standard but also publicly recognizes Cimc Vehicles' leadership in the tanker truck segment. Moving forward, the company will uphold its "safety-driven, technology-powered" approach to support clients' compliant operations and sustainable growth, advancing China's hazardous transport industry toward greater safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
