6.1 Any light-duty truck of a gross weight less than 2,500 kilograms, commercial vehicle and passenger car (not sedans or station wagons) with gasoline or diesel engine manufactured or imported by the entity shall comply with the following Subparagraph 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 regarding standards governing energy efficiency of vehicles: 6.1.1 Energy efficiency testing is conducted in accordance with the Federal Test Procedure (FTP-75) of the United States: 6.1.1.1 Energy Efficiency Standards 6.1.1.2 The combined energy efficiency value for light-duty trucks of a gross weight less than 2,500 kilograms, commercial vehicles and passenger cars (not sedans or station wagons) is calculated by the following equation: 6.1.2 Energy Efficiency testing is conducted in accordance with Directive 1999/100/EC and subsequent amendments: 6.1.2.1 Energy Efficiency Standards 6.1.2.2 The combined energy efficiency value for light-duty trucks of a gross weight less than 2,500 kilograms, commercial vehicles and passenger cars (not sedans or station wagons) is calculated by the following equation: 6.2 Effective from Jan.1, 2025 for manufactured or imported light-duty truck with gasoline (diesel) engine of a gross weight over 2,500 kilograms and less than 3,500 kilograms, its energy efficiency test value after being divided by the following energy efficiency correction factor, shall comply with the previous defined 6.1.1.1 and 6.1.1.2 standards. energy efficiency correction factor: 0.8 + 0.2 × (3500 kg – vehicle gross weight) × 10-3 6.3 Effective from Jan.1, 2016 for manufactured or imported light-duty truck of a gross weight less than 2,500 kilograms, commercial vehicle and passenger car (not sedans or station wagons) with gasoline or diesel engine by any entity to apply for vehicle type fuel economy certificates shall be tested in accordance with the test procedures prescribed in the European directive 1999/100/EC and its subsequent revisions; effective from Jan. 1, 2017, the previous mentioned vehicles shall comply with the following requirements: 6.3.1 The sales weighted average energy efficiency value of the manufacturer sold vehicles shall be higher than the required sales weighted average energy efficiency target value. 6.3.2 The Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits corresponding to different vehicle types prescribed by the required sales weighted average energy efficiency target value are as follows. 6.3.2.1 The Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits effective from Jan. 1, 2017 till Dec. 31, 2021: 6.3.2.2 The Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits effective from Jan. 1, 2022, till Dec. 31, 2029: 6.3.2.3 Effective from Jan.1, 2030, the Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits (only for vehicles that being tested by using the WLTC driving cycle test) are as follows: 6.3.2.4 The being sold light duty trucks that comply with the Air Emission Standards of Mobile Source set by the central environmental protection authority shall be applicable from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2029. The Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits are as follows: 6.3.2.5 The being sold light duty trucks that comply with the Air Emission Standards of Mobile Source set by the central environmental protection authority, effective from January 1, 2030 (only for vehicles that being tested by using the WLTC driving cycle test), shall be applicable to the Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits as follows: 6.3.3 The sales weighted average energy efficiency value and sales weighted average energy efficiency target value prescribed in Subparagraph 6.3.1 shall be calculated by using the following equation: 6.3.3.1 Sales weighted average energy efficiency value: i: manufactured or imported vehicle type’s sequence number. FCi: energy efficiency test value (km/liter) for manufactured or imported vehicle type i. Vi: sales number (units) of manufactured or imported vehicle type i. Wi : Correspond Credit Multiplier for Vehicle Type i. 6.3.3.2 Sales weighted average energy efficiency target value: i: manufactured or imported vehicle type’s sequence number. Ti: Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits (km/liter) of the manufactured or imported vehicle type i in accordance with Subparagraph 6.3.2 of this Article. Vi: sales number (units) of manufactured or imported vehicle type i. 6.3.4 The calculation of sales weighted average energy efficiency value and sales weighted average energy efficiency target value for vehicle entity with combined reporting or end of their combined reporting, the calculation of sales weighted average energy efficiency value for different brands under the same vehicle entity, the qualification for using annual sales weighted average energy efficiency value calculation and credit accumulation, and the handling process for vehicle entities failed to comply with their required annual sales weighted average energy efficiency target value shall be in accordance with stipulations in Article 4. 6.3.5 For Electric or Fuel Cell light-duty trucks, commercial vehicles and passenger cars (not sedans or station wagons) that being sold by the vehicle entity, till Dec. 31, 2025, its sales may be multiplied by 10; from Jan. 1, 2026 to Dec. 31, 2027, multiplied by 4, and from Jan.1, 2028, multiplied by 2 as the correspond sales and being used in the calculation of sales weighted average energy efficiency value; for Plug-In Hybrid Electric light-duty truck, commercial vehicle and passenger car (not sedans or station wagons) with pure electric travel mileage over 50 kilometers, till Dec. 31, 2025, the correspond sales multiplier may be set as 5; from Jan. 1, 2026 till Dec. 31, 2027, the multiplier may be set as 2, and the previous mentioned provisions are also applicable and the energy efficiency test values shall be rated by the competent authority in other provisions. 6.3.6 Effective from Jan. 1, 2022 till Dec. 31, 2025, for light-duty trucks, commercial vehicles and passenger cars (not sedans or station wagons) that being sold by the vehicle entity, if its energy efficiency value is higher than the correspond Sales Weighted Average Energy Efficiency Limits as listed in Item 4.2.2.2 of Article 4, the multipliers for the calculation of sales weighted average energy efficiency value are set as follows： 6.3.6.1 Over by 10%, set as 1.5. 6.3.6.2 Over by 20%, set as 2. 6.3.6.3 Over by 30%, set as 2.5. 6.3.6.4 Over by 40%, set as 3. 6.3.6.5 Over by 50%, set as 3.5. 6.3.7 For light-duty trucks, commercial vehicles and passenger cars (not sedans or station wagons) that being sold by the vehicle entity that comply with the Paragraph 4.1.2 standards, may select to combine with its sold passenger cars with gasoline (diesel) engines (sedans or station wagons) for the calculation of sales weighted average energy efficiency values when apply for the energy efficiency certificates. 6.4 Effective from Jan.1, 2030, for manufactured or imported light-duty trucks with gasoline (diesel) engines of a gross weight over 2,500 and less than 3,500 kilograms, shall comply with previous mentioned provisions when apply for the vehicle type fuel economy certificates.
