Investigation of China Brand Car Glass

  Among thousands of automobile parts, almost every one plays a vital role, and automobile glass is no exception. For the daily car, although we may turn a blind eye to the car glass, the quality of the car glass will directly affect our driving comfort and even driving safety.

  Not long ago, Aika Automobile was held.China brand annual vehicle selection activity,Assembled 115 China brand vehicles listed in China this year (from July 16th, 2016 to July 5th, 2017), and with a fair, professional and innovative perspective and thinking,Choose the "Best of the Best" brand in China.In this activity, the car channel conducted a centralized survey on the glass of 14 popular China brand models. How did they perform?

  Many car owners have a blind spot for car glass, thinking that car glass is enough as long as it has a good view, but this is not the case. In addition to having a good view, the structure, thickness, blocking rate and transmittance of automobile glass also have great influence on driving comfort and safety, which is directly related to the personal safety of drivers and passengers. Before publishing the survey results, let’s learn some basic knowledge about automobile glass.

  1. Types of automobile glass

  According to the material, automobile glass can be divided intoTempered glassandLaminated glassTwo types, and according to the different installation positions, the automobile glass is used.Types and specificationsThere will be differences.

glass

  (1) Tempered glass

  Tempered glass is formed by tempering ordinary glass, which not only increases its strength, but also changes its internal structure to some extent.

When the glass breaks due to destructive external impact, the tempered glass will break into particles, reducing the possibility of injury.

  (2) Laminated glass

  Laminated glass consists of2 or more floorsGlass is glued together, and its safety comes from the PVB film between the glasses. When the glass is broken, the PVB film will stick the glass fragments together, so that the glass fragments will not be scattered and hurt people, and the driver can have a certain vision to deal with emergencies.

  2. Car glass logo

Usually, the logo of this glass will be printed on the car glass. By reading these logos, you can know the brand, structure, specifications and production date of this glass.

  (1) automobile manufacturers;

  (2) glass manufacturers;

  (3)3C certification mark;

  (4) Safety certification code of automobile glass manufacturer;

  (5) The code of the member countries of the Economic Commission for Europe that issued the certificate of non-mandatory standards for automobile parts;

  (6) stands for the adoption of EU Regulation No.43, and 001477 stands for product certification code;

  (7) Factory date of glass: the number represents the year, and 5 represents the production in 2015. The black dot on the left of the number represents the factory month, the black dot on the left represents the first half of the year, and the black dot on the right represents the second half. If there are a few black spots on the left, subtract a few from 7. As shown in the figure, if there is a black spot, subtract 1 from 7 to equal 6, that is, this glass was produced in June 2015. If the black dot is on the right side of the number, subtract a few black dots from 13.

The front windshield of Haval H8 is made of laminated glass of FY, which has passed Dutch certification and the factory date is September 2016.

  Fuyao Glass is a domestic automobile glass manufacturer with large scale, high technical level and large export volume. The "FY" trademark is the only "China well-known trademark" in China automobile glass industry so far.

  (2) Side window glass

The side window of Haval H8 is composed of two door glasses and two triangular window glasses. The window glass is made of tempered glass from Wuhan Yaohua pilkington (WYP), which passed the British certification and was manufactured in March 2017.

  Although you may not pay attention to the triangular window at ordinary times, in fact, this piece of glass may be several times more expensive than the two side window glasses. This is because the possibility of the triangular window glass being broken is relatively small, so there are fewer replaceable auxiliary factory glasses, and the price will naturally be much higher after the original monopoly.

  (3) Rear windshield

glass

The rear windshield of Haval H8 also uses tempered glass from Wuhan Yaohua pilkington (WYP), which has passed the British certification and has the function of heating and defogging. The factory date is February 2017.

  Actually, it’s on a modelUse different brands in different locations.It’s normal that some hot-selling models are in great demand, and often the capacity of an accessory factory is not enough to meet the demand of the main engine factory. Moreover, sometimes the main engine factory will not only cooperate with the same supplier in order to avoid the risks caused by equipment failures or product permissions of suppliers.
