Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to M1 category vehicles (passenger cars), including gasoline, diesel, hybrid, pure electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. It is mandatory for all manufacturers and importers of passenger cars in China. It establishes the evaluation methods and targets for corporate average fuel consumption (CAFC) and CO2 emissions.
Technical requirements
GB 27999-2025 specifies the evaluation methods and targets for passenger car fuel consumption. It introduces the calculation methods for Corporate Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC) and newly added Corporate Average CO2 Emissions. The standard defines specific target values based on vehicle curb weight and seating capacity. Starting from 2026, manufacturers must meet strict annual ratio requirements between their actual CAFC and target values, reaching 100% by 2030. Additionally, it introduces specific calculation methods for traditional energy passenger cars and removes the previous vehicle type multipliers.
Testing methods
The standard references various testing methods to determine type-approval values for fuel consumption. It utilizes the Global Unified Light Vehicle Test Cycle (WLTC) as specified in GB/T 19233-2020 and GB/T 19753-2021. For pure electric vehicles, energy consumption is determined per GB/T 18386.1-2021 and converted to gasoline equivalent. Fuel cell vehicles are tested according to GB/T 43252-2023. Production consistency must be maintained in accordance with these referenced testing standards.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 27999-2025?
It regulates M1 category vehicles (passenger cars), including gasoline, diesel, hybrid, pure electric, and fuel cell vehicles.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 27999?
Yes, the 2025 version introduces Corporate Average CO2 Emissions calculations, adds requirements for traditional energy passenger cars, and removes vehicle type multipliers. It also sets a phased reduction of the CAFC ratio from 130% in 2026 to 100% in 2030.
How is fuel consumption determined for electric and hybrid vehicles?
Fuel consumption for pure electric vehicles is converted from energy consumption using the simple conversion method in GB/T 37340-2019. Hybrid vehicles are tested using the WLTC as per GB/T 19753-2021.
