Production and numbering of low-quality cars despite the supervision of 5 institutions in charge of safety / “monopoly” disaster for the country’s automobile industry

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, a series of 59 car accidents in the accident on the morning of January 11 in Behbahan – رامهرز Which killed and injured about 50 of our compatriots, in addition to the scale of the incident, for reasons such as “Do not open “None of the domestic car airbags” was noticed, and as a result, more than ever, the issue of insecurity and the necessary standards for domestically produced cars was raised.

In this regard, سیدرضا Fatemi Amin, Minister صمت, Visiting the cars damaged in the accident, acknowledged: “Iran’s car industry has not had a good trend in terms of quality over the past years.”

Minister صمت‌ 8 days after the accident of the car chain accident in Behbahan axis, after receiving the initial technical report in separate letters dated 28 January 1400 to the Minister of Roads and the Chairman of the Executive Board of Imidro, a detailed investigation and determination of the factors involved in the accident in the commission The safety of the country’s roads has been demanded.

According to Rahoor police, the accident was caused by thick fog and, as mentioned, 59 heavy and light vehicles collided with each other.

* Rahoor police chief criticizes the production of low-quality cars / رو Selling unsafe cars to people with foreign car money

During this big accident, some cars were crushed and some were set on fire, and according to the statements of Sardar Seyed Kamal Hadianfar, Rahoor Naja Police Chief, “the airbags of any domestically produced cars were not opened in this accident”!

“No car was opened in the Behbahan airbag accident,” said the head of the NAJA Rahoor Police in the sixth phase of the Rahoor Police Operational and Mobility Exercise.

He likened domestically produced cars to death chariots and said: Why do we produce death chariots? Why are standards not controlled? Why Ministry صمت Does not control?

Rahoor Naja Police Chief, pointing out that the third cause of death is related to accidents, added: “Car manufacturers must be introduced to the judicial authorities in this accident.” It is true to say that the drivers were not careful in the Behbahan accident, but what was the role of the relevant organizations?

In another ceremony, Hadianfar also said that my advice to carmakers and the Automobile Manufacturers Association is to seek to improve the quality of cars instead of projecting and distorting public opinion, so that they do not receive money for foreign cars from people, but unsafe cars and Non-standard give people.

Rahoor Naja Police Chief stressed that our car should be safe enough to prevent further injury to the driver and passengers in the event of a driver’s collision or accident. Following an accident, pull the car pillar out of the driver’s abdomen.

* Secretary of the Automobile Manufacturers Association: In the Behbahan road accident, the cars collided from behind Airbagنشد could not be opened

According to Fars, after the accident, Ahmad Nematbakhsh, secretary of the Iranian Automobile Manufacturers Association, had claimed in connection with the accident: 15 cars involved in the accident belonged to Iran Khodro and 23 cars belonged to Saipa Company. Also, most of the cars involved in the accident had airbags, but in this accident, they had an accident from behind, and the airbags did not open because of the rear-end collision!

These remarks of the secretary of the Automobile Manufacturers Association are exactly an example of the projection and deviation of public opinion that Sardar هادیانفر He mentions it, because it seems that car manufacturers should at least think about producing better quality cars in the event of these accidents and try to reduce road deaths due to the lack of quality of domestically produced cars by compensating for the shortcomings.

* The steel body of domestically produced cars does not have enough strength

Although the In this case chain issue Do not open Car airbags have been proposed, but the fact is that the crumpling of many cars, according to experts, indicates insufficient resistance of the steel body of cars, and therefore the problem of safety of production cars is not limited to one or more cases and is much broader that should be Supervising organizations should pay more attention to it.

This chain accident, which indicates that cars are unsafe, not only calls into question the performance of car manufacturers, but also the performance of regulatory agencies in public opinion, because if regulatory bodies such as the Standards Organization, the Ministry صمت Etc. They monitor the quality of the car, so why do we see the supply of low quality cars in the market and the question is what do these regulators really do?

* When does the car get a license plate?

In this regard, Ainullah Jahani, Deputy Minister of Social Affairs and Traffic Culture of Rahvar Naja Police, says: “Until the National Organization for Standardization and the Environment Organization submit their approvals regarding the production of cars and motorcycles to the Ministry.” صمت Do not and the Ministry صمت If he does not send these confirmations to the police, the police will not license the car.

He added: “ABS brakes and airbags are inside the cars and are not visible to the user. If it is not monitored by the standard organization, cars may be produced in the production line that do not match what they have provided as a sample and test.”

So with these statements, the real question is what is the role of the National Standards Organization?

“The recent accident in Behbahan, in which the airbags were not opened, showed that the supervision should be increased and we should reach the standards that were made mandatory a few years ago, but the interesting thing is that the Ministry صمت It also supports the automaker.

Therefore, with these explanations and considering the chain accident in Behbahan, one should ask what the automakers or regulatory organizations have done that in an accident, despite the collision of 59 cars, the airbag of any car was not opened?

Why Ministry صمت As a production trustee who agrees with the carmakers’ request for a price increase, does not require carmakers to produce a quality car? If a car of any quality is to be produced and marketed at a high price, then why do we have a regulatory body?

* Five devices to monitor the quality of car production

In this regard, Mehdi Islampanah, the head of the standard organization, says: five NAJA units, the ministry صمت, The National Organization for Standardization, the Environment Organization and the Fuel Optimization Organization are the supervisors and responsible for the safety of the car. If there is supervision, then why are we witnessing so many unfortunate accidents due to technical defects in the car?

* The steel sheet of domestic cars is a problem according to the standard organization, but its standard is not mandatory

Another point to note is that the National Organization for Standardization, as responsible for vehicle safety, اذعان The steel sheet used in domestic cars is a problem according to the National Standards Organization, but the car body and its steel sheet are not subject to mandatory standards, and this issue is really debatable, why the quality of steel sheets should not be in accordance with international standards. Is it?

Explaining the question of “why carmakers do not strive to improve the quality of cars”, many experts believe that monopoly production in the industry prevents the improvement of quality and even decline in quality because in such an environment the manufacturer can produce and consume any product. Supplier.

* Automakers do not feel the need to improve quality in exclusive situations

Mohammad Hassan Sabouri, an economist, says in this regard: “Currently, due to the ban on car imports or the imposition of significant tariffs in previous years and the limited number of car manufacturers in the country, practically exclusive conditions have been created in this industry. There is no need to improve the quality in accordance with the standards of the day for automakers.

* Car manufacturers to be prosecuted if they are guilty in Behbahan accident

In this regard, Peyman Pirayesh, Director General of Supervision of Non-Metallic Industries Standards of the National Standards Organization, stated that the embargo has become an excuse for not implementing mandatory car standards, and told a Fars reporter: Do not open Car airbags in a chain accident Recent culprit We will introduce them to the judiciary as violators.

According to Fars, Although the The recent accident has led to the issue of paying attention to quality in the production of domestic cars and has become a demand of officials and people from automakers in recent days, but it is important that this issue is pursued very seriously.

Of course, the final report of the Road Safety Commission regarding the Behbahan chain accident has not been announced yet. The car manufacturers should neglect it and it is the duty of the regulatory bodies to deal severely with any shortcomings in this regard.
