By The End of 2007, China's Number of Auto Comprehensive Performance Inspection Stations Has Risen To 1,594 - China Car Testing Equipment Industry Report, 2008

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3cf7f5/china_car_testing)
has announced the addition of the "China Car Testing Equipment
Industry Report, 2008" report to their offering.

   China has now approximately 300,000 companies involved in auto
repair business, 80% of which are engaged in professional auto
repairs. Since the former Ministry of Transport and Communications
issued two rules on technical management of motor vehicles and
management of auto comprehensive performance inspection stations in
1990 and 1991 respectively, China has had a new climax of building
auto comprehensive performance inspection stations. By the end of
2007, China's number of auto comprehensive performance inspection
stations has risen to 1,594 from 1,215 recorded in 2000, among which
330 are A-level testing stations, 574 are B-level, 690 are C-level.
China has had an average annual increase of around 50 auto testing
stations in the period.

   Auto testing stations in China are divided into three levels,
namely A, B and C, and there are clear and strict definition on what
testing equipment and testing items each level of testing stations
should have.

   Basic testing items of all levels of auto comprehensive
performance inspection stations are as follows:

   A-level station can undertake the following tests: brake,
sideslip, lighting, steering, front-wheel alignment, speed, dynamic
balance, chassis power output, fuel consumption, engine power &
igniting system, abnormal sound, wear, distortion, cracks, noise and
exhaust emission.

   B-level station can undertake tests on auto technical status and
maintenance quality, including brake, sideslip, lighting, steering,
front-wheel alignment, speed, dynamic balance, fuel consumption,
engine power & igniting system, abnormal sound, distortion, noise and
exhaust emission.

   C-level station can undertake the tests on vehicle's technical
status, including braking, sideslip, lighting, steering, dynamic
balance, fuel consumption, engine power, abnormal sound, noise and
exhaust emission.

   Before 2004, China had a continuous rise in the number of auto
maintenance companies, and in 2004 the number reached 349,000,
demonstrating a thriving auto industry. But with the sustained rises
in the number of companies, China's auto maintenance industry had
fallen into a big disorder. After 2004, increasingly intensified
competition and improved professional level have pushed some companies
out of the market, implying that around 2,000 companies have been
driven out of the market annually since 2004.
