What an horrible accident I watched.

A few weeks ago I emailed the LTA (Land Transport Authority, the main governing body for road vehicles in Singapore) regarding the quality of Chinese cars. Incidentally, I only got the reply today, and it was a rather moment for me...

"Dear Mr Lim,

CHINESE MADE CARS
FEEDBACK NUMBER: 523396

We refer to your e-mail dated 18/10/2007.

LTA requires every new make and model of vehicles to be type-approved to
ensure that it meets the necessary technical requirements and safety
standards before other vehicles of the same make and model are allowed to
be registered for use on our roads. We accept vehicles that comply with any
internationally recognised standards such as those adopted by Japan and the
European Union (EU) countries, or their equivalent.

For vehicles produced by established manufacturers, we require the vehicle
manufacturers to submit relevant certification documents to support their
claims of standards which their vehicles and vehicle components have
complied with. For vehicles produced by a new vehicle manufacturer, Chery
for instance, we require additional information such as the manufacturers'
background, vehicle design, manufacturing and testing facilities, quality
management system, production volume, and countries that their vehicles
have been exported to.

Prior to the introduction of Chery QQ here, we have visited the Chery
vehicle manufacturer to assess whether they have the vehicle design,
manufacturing and testing capabilities, and the quality management system
to produce vehicles that comply with the standards accepted here. We are
satisfied that the Chery vehicle manufacturer has the capability to produce
quality vehicles and carry out essential vehicle testing to comply with the
standards accepted here.

We would like to clarify that the Chery QQ and Chery 168 had passed the
crash test carried out at an impact speed of 50 km/hr. The crash test
standards were equivalent to the United Nations Economic Commission for
Europe (UNECE) standard, which is accepted here.

The link to the crash test of Chery QQ that you have mentioned in your
email is related to the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP).
You may wish to know that the Euro NCAP only provides motoring consumers
with an independent assessment of the safety performance for a comparison
of some of the popular cars sold in Europe (The Euro NCAP conducts crash
tests based on an impact speed of 64km/hr). In Europe, it is not compulsory
for new cars to be tested under the Euro NCAP. Similar to the practice in
Europe, it is not compulsory for new cars to be tested under such car
assessment programme before they are allowed to be registered for use in
Singapore.

We hope the above addressed your concerns.


Yours sincerely

Now the Dacia is a proper honest, cheap basic car. I'd buy one if they were available here...
