The certification process for light vehicles belonging to the 'Leapmotor' brand in Uzbekistan has been temporarily suspended. This was mentioned in the official information provided by the Technical Regulation Agency.
? Why has the import of 'Leapmotor' cars been restricted?
According to the information provided by the agency, technical non-compliance was identified in the 'Leapmotor S16' model. Inspections conducted by 'EURO PROF TEST LLC' revealed that this vehicle does not meet regulatory requirements.
Specifically, it was noted that it does not comply with the requirement set out in Appendix 3, Clause 44 of the regulations. This could lead to problems in the vehicle's electronic system and, in some cases, the failure of relevant systems.
? Measures to protect consumer rights
Due to the identified deficiencies, the acceptance of applications for the certification of 'Leapmotor' vehicles has been temporarily suspended. This restriction will remain in effect until the manufacturer fully resolves the issues.
? Queues in laboratories for imported cars are increasing
According to reports, there is currently very high demand for the certification process of imported cars in Uzbekistan. The queue for the laboratory in the Piskent district that conducts vehicle inspections is growing.
According to bloggers in the customs sector, the electronic queue system opens at midnight 00:00, and spots fill up in less than a minute.
? Can we expect 'Leapmotor' cars to return to the market?
It is currently unknown when 'Leapmotor' cars will be re-certified and put up for sale in Uzbekistan. The main factor will depend on how quickly the company addresses the identified issues.
This situation is of significant importance regarding competition in the market for imported cars in Uzbekistan and adherence to safety standards.
What do you think? How will the restriction on the import of 'Leapmotor' cars affect the market?
