China Consumer Association and China Automotive Data announced the first batch of "zero formaldehyde" vehicles, and Hongqi HS5/HS3/H5/E-QM5 was certified
On September 26, the "China Healthy Vehicle Research Program" – "Zero Formaldehyde" Automotive Technology Seminar "sponsored by the China Consumer Product Quality and Safety Promotion Association (hereinafter referred to as the China Consumer Goods Association) and undertaken by China Automotive Data Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China Automotive Data) was held in Beijing. At the event, the" zero formaldehyde "automobile logo was released, and the first batch of typical cases of" zero formaldehyde "vehicles and advanced formaldehyde control experience in the car were shared. As an industry benchmark adhering to the concept of national car-level healthy vehicle building, Hongqi sent four models, Xinhongqi HS5, Hongqi HS3, the new Hongqi H5, and Hongqi E-QM5, for inspection. After two months, they all won the first batch of" zero formaldehyde "vehicles after rigorous selection in multiple links of room temperature and driving scenarios.

It is well known that formaldehyde has been identified as a Class I carcinogen by the World Health Organization, and it is also one of the main pollutants in the air inside the car. It is hidden in the fabrics, leather, foam, adhesives, plastic resins and other interior materials used in interior parts, which has a non-negligible impact on the health of drivers and passengers. In order to eliminate users’ anxiety about healthy travel, China Consumer Association and China Automotive Data jointly increased the control of formaldehyde in the car. Based on the "Zero" Formaldehyde Automotive Technical Rules (2023 Edition) ", the testing and certification of" zero formaldehyde "vehicles was carried out, and the" zero formaldehyde "automobile logo was awarded to the certified models, which further promoted the technological progress of the automotive industry in the field of in-car health.

Rigorous testing, in-depth inspection of technical standards
In the test process, China Automotive Data refers to the national standard "Sampling and Determination Method of Volatile Organic Compounds and Aldoxides and Ketones in Vehicles" (HJ/T 400) and the international standard "Internal Air of Road Vehicles – Part 1: Specifications and Methods for Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds in Vehicles in Vehicle Laboratories" (ISO 1 2219-1), and selects automotive products with a mileage of less than 50km and no more than 33 days off the assembly line as the evaluation object; at the same time, in order to investigate the consistency of automobile production quality in mass production status, different batches of production vehicles with a time interval of not less than 30 days are selected in the same sales model and the same configuration model for evaluation and comparison. Simulate the real scene of actual vehicles, select the most commonly used room temperature mode and driving mode by users for data collection and analysis.
First, the testing environment is uniformly set to a temperature of 25 ° C, 50% relative humidity at room temperature mode, first open the door for 6 hours, then close the door and window for 16 hours, and then sample formaldehyde in the car; in driving mode, combined with the user entering the car will immediately open the air conditioner usage scenario, first close the door to open the heating for 4 hours, and then open the door to start the air conditioner in the heating state for 60 seconds, perform external circulation air replacement, and then sample formaldehyde in the car. In the face of scientific and rigorous testing, Xinhongqi HS5, Hongqi HS3, Xinhongqi H5, Hongqi E-QM5 rely on the profound accumulation of R & D and manufacturing under the guidance of the concept of health technology, and pass the "zero formaldehyde" assessment with the result that the formaldehyde detection value in each mode is lower than the standard value of the evaluation specification.

Realize "zero formaldehyde" and deepen the concept of "national car health"
All four models of Hongqi can pass the "zero formaldehyde" car certification, benefiting from the leadership of the health technology development strategy. In recent years, Hongqi has taken comprehensive innovation as the main line and continued to iteratively implement the "Innovation 2030 China FAW Flag Technology Development Strategy", further clarifying the key research directions in many fields such as "intelligent networking", "driving experience", and "safety and health". Among them, "safety and health" is one of the important research and development directions, focusing on users’ multi-dimensional safety needs. In addition to passive safety, active safety, and information security, it also covers active health and intelligent health. With the continuous breakthrough of core technologies, it always escorts users’ travel.
Strive to provide users with a green and fresh "zero formaldehyde" breathing environment. Hongqi implements the "low volatility, low odor, low pollution, strong purification" technical route to strictly control the release of formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds in the car parts. Front forward simulation analysis to optimize material selection, select the best combination of environmentally friendly materials; build a health technology platform, develop and adopt healthy materials and processes, and control the generation of volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde from the source of the materials used; cooperate with the car air conditioning system to monitor and further purify, and strictly control the release of volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde in the car parts. In addition, Hongqi’s quality assurance, R & D, procurement and marketing systems have joined forces to establish a cooperation mechanism to implement regular sampling inspections of the VOC and odor performance production consistency of vehicles and parts to ensure the consistency and safety of product quality, so as to achieve "zero formaldehyde", so that users can travel with confidence, peace of mind and happiness.

Unafraid of challenges, demonstrate hardcore safety and health capabilities
Safeguarding safety and health is the bottom line, and it is also the standard line. Hongqi has always treated user safety and health issues as "penny-pinching". In addition to this car "zero formaldehyde" test, it has also cooperated with the China Automotive Technology Research Center to conduct a new Hongqi H5 three-car collision challenge, completing the domestic 100km/h relative speed collision chain rear-end safety test. This tests the protection ability of passive safety systems such as the strength of the vehicle’s body structure and the stability of the restraint system. After the collision, the dummy in the car was basically undamaged, fully demonstrating the strong safety level of Hongqi.

In addition, Hongqi HS3 was also selected to participate in the 2023 CCPC China Production Car Competition, and won the "three victories" in Chongqing Public Station, Turpan Extreme Station, and Guangzhou Professional Station. It was not afraid of various challenges such as safety and performance, and finally won the annual championship of the compact SUV group. In the Guangzhou professional station competition, it successively won the first results of the elk test, low braking, 8-character ring and other test groups, and showed outstanding performance in emergency obstacle avoidance, braking performance, body stability, etc., fully ensuring the safety performance of the vehicle. In addition, in the noise test of the vehicle at a constant speed, the Hongqi HS3 was 55.8dB in the 60km/h driving state and 58.1dB in the 80km/h driving state, creating a healthy and comfortable driving environment for users with excellent quiet performance.

The automotive market is competitive, and the industrial landscape is changing rapidly. Major brands are attracting users’ attention in the form of volume prices, volume configurations, and longer and longer volumes. However, Hongqi has always been firmly user-centered, not blindly following or superficial. With clear strategic support and innovative independent technology, it continuously improves product quality and service levels. Whether it is a "zero formaldehyde" in-car environment or top-level passive safety, it is the best evidence that it makes every effort to create a safe and healthy car-owning life for users. In the future, Hongqi will continue to work hard to continuously refresh the user’s safe and healthy car experience to a new height, so that every user can "drive a healthy car and enjoy a better life".
