How deep is China National Heavy Duty Truck Howo's "routine" to become popular with the "Ten Ton King"?

A few days ago, Ghost Truck's special report on "Big Ton Small Standard" triggered heated discussions among netizens and fans. After the reports were published one after another, many owners of blue-label light trucks participated in comments and messages. Some car owners are faced with the dilemma of "big ton and small price" and are in a dilemma. If we go forward, overweight vehicles will not be able to hit the road; if we go backward, there will be no response from the car manufacturers and there will be no solution.

Among these participating car owners, Sinotruk has the largest number of Howo owners. According to data from January to October 2020, 60,000 units of the 8.25 heavy-duty blue plate were sold, and Sinotruk accounted for 40%, which is the sales volume. The largest light truck company. At present, owners of HOWO's "Ten Ton King" light truck have to report to the group to safeguard their rights through various channels.

The owner of the Howo "Ten Ton King" reported to a group to defend his rights and ask for an explanation

Mr. Liang, the owner of the Howo car, said in an interview with Jilin TV Station's "No. 1 Report": "In May this year, the owner of the Howo car The light truck we bought at the Wo 4S store was helped by the dealer to go through various registration procedures. In November, the vehicle management office informed us that the light truck was overweight by 1.5 tons, which was the most unacceptable thing to me. Yes, I bought a normal car with normal money, and the DMV gave us the normal procedures to put it in, but then it can no longer be used on the road normally, and neither the dealer nor the manufacturer gave any explanation."

The car owner, Mr. Sun, said: "When I bought the car, I told you when I registered that everything was normal. However, my car was three months old and could not be driven on the road. It cost more than 130,000 yuan. My car is left at home all day long."

During the interview, what makes the owners of Howo cars particularly uncomfortable is that they originally bought the Howo light trucks just to make money to support their families. Now, the cars cannot be driven or driven on the road, and their livelihood has become a problem. . Moreover, until now, SINOTRUK manufacturers and dealers have not said anything.

Relying on "shortcuts"? The "Ten-ton King" is a latecomer.

Looking back at the road to popularity of SINOTRUK Howo light trucks, we still have to start with the most famous "Ten-ton King" "Speaking of. At the beginning, when SINOTRUK, which mainly produces heavy trucks, wanted to transform into a light truck project, many people in the industry were worried about it. To the surprise of many people, HOWO chose a "shortcut" - transferring the heavy-duty concept to light trucks, and became popular all over the country with its "Ten-ton King". Although, before the emergence of the "Ten-ton King", major light truck manufacturers also had overloading problems, but compared with the "Ten-ton King", their range was only small, and none of them had the heavy-duty version of the "Ten-ton King". "King" points so clearly.

It has stronger ability to pull goods, can be blue-labelled, and has an advantageous price. For a time, the "Ten Ton King" was highly sought after, and its sales volume continued to rise. Other light truck manufacturers have also transformed and launched heavy-duty versions of light trucks.

But shortcuts are shortcuts after all. The "big ton and small standard" with serious safety hazards was fully exposed on May 21 last year. After that, major traffic control departments and highway management departments strictly managed overweight vehicles. After many HOWO light trucks were successfully registered by dealers through internal relationships, they were seized by the traffic control department during re-inspection. Now, many car owners face the embarrassment that it is difficult for overweight vehicles to get on the road.

During the interview, some "Ten Ton King" customers said that the traffic control departments in various places are now very strict, and we are still worried when running on the road. Once caught, the punishment will be severe. Regarding this kind of overloading violation, According to relevant regulations, a fine of 2,000 yuan and 6 points should be imposed.

Not afraid of the wind and waves? Sinotruk’s “Ten-ton King” continues to be produced

Despite this, in order to pursue profits and interests, Sinotruk Howo’s “Ten-ton King” has become popular all the way. Production and sales are still continuing. After the series of reports on Ghost Dou Truck were released, some fans kept breaking the news on the backstage and released many short videos. Among them, there was also a video saying that the Howo "Ten Ton King" produced by China National Heavy Duty Truck Howo was hidden deep inside. In the mountains and forests. Brother Gui also went to the Howo 4S store to find out that the "Ten Ton King" is indeed still on sale.

Under strict regulations, SINOTRUK Howo continues to ride the wind and continue to produce the famous "Ten-ton King" of light trucks in accordance with the concept of "heavy-duty". So, under this profit orientation, who is responsible for consumer safety hazards? After the DMV re-inspection, who will solve the embarrassment of being unable to drive on the road? Is the HOWO light truck really a one-time deal, only responsible for cheating the car out, and all subsequent responsibilities will be zero?

Nonsense: Brother Gui wants to tell consumers that if you want to make money buying a light truck, you must think comprehensively and see it clearly.

Products that are contrary to the policy are easily left untouched. It is like a "bomb" that can explode at any time. After all, for most light truck owners, they spent money to buy the car back with the intention of making a lot of money. However, when encountering this kind of "embarrassment", the owners have no choice but to take the road of safeguarding their rights. So, Sinotruk Howo manufacturer, facing the plight of car owners, do you, as the manufacturer of illegal vehicles, really have no responsibility? Shouldn't something be done to the car owner?

Next, Guidouche will continue to pay attention to the development of the rights protection incident of HOWO car owners and continue to report on the "big ton, small bid" incident. If you are also a Howo car owner and are also troubled by the "big ton but small price" problem, you may wish to leave a message on the background and tell your car purchase story.
