A new Chinese standard on the limits and measurement methods of fuel consumption for motorcycles and mopeds, GB 15744-2019, has recently been published.
This new standard combines the requirements for motorcycles and mopeds into one standard and introduces numerous revisions to the test procedures and calculation procedures for determining the fuel consumption of such vehicles.
More importantly, this new standard specifies more stringent fuel consumption limits for all types of motorcycle and moped, and specifies separate fuel consumption limits based on engine capacity, number of wheels (two or three) and transmission type (manual or automatic).
The fuel consumption limits specified by this new standard become effective from 1st July 2020.
This new Chinese Standard is available on InterRegs.NET for our China subscribers, and is also available at www.selectregs.com.
