Rosstandart did not allow a number of truck models to enter the Russian market

Rosstandart has banned the production and circulation in Russia of a number of trucks of four Chinese companies due to inconsistencies in safety requirements, according to the regulator’s website.

“Rosstandart <...> informs about the application, based on the results of unscheduled on-site inspections, of official representatives of manufacturers of DONGFENG, FOTON, XCMG, JAC vehicles of the technical regulations, according to which the release into circulation of wheeled vehicles of the DONGFENG type DFRZ-35, FOTON type 77N5BJ, XCT50G5-1S, XCA200G7-1S, JAC type K7 is limited,” the report says.
