Four Departments Launch One-Year Special Action on Vehicle Quality; GAC Responds That It Will Not Build "Rushed Cars"

On August 27, four departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a one-year special action on production consistency and quality improvement for road motor vehicles, focusing on production consistency, reliability, durability and the testing and validation of new technologies; on the same day, CAAM called for an end to "pseudo-innovation." GAC responded by stating that it insists on not building "rushed cars," opposes compressing validation cycles, and safeguards quality and safety through full-process quality control, extreme testing and 360 bottom-line quality and safety criteria.

Behind the Real-Person In-Vehicle Thermal Runaway Test: Battery Safety Validation Is Shifting from Extreme Marketing to Real-World Conditions

In 2026, Geely Galaxy TT, together with CATL and CATARC Automotive Test Center, completed a real-person in-vehicle, single-cell thermal runaway test under conditions of 40°C high temperature, 96% SOC, and internal heating trigger, with the result being no fire, no explosion, and no smoke. After GB 38031-2025, the new national standard, set "no fire, no explosion" as a mandatory baseline, tests beyond the national standard such as gunshots, fire, and high-altitude drops have increased. Drawing on Ouyang Minggao's judgment of "whole-process safety," this article discusses the boundary between extreme testing and validation under real-world conditions.
