Wuzheng Three-Wheeler's Certificate Mismatches Actual Configuration; Traffic Police Deem It 'Incomplete Vehicle,' Owner Loses Lawsuit
In 2008, a farmer in Qinglong County, Hebei, driving a Wuzheng three-wheeled agricultural vehicle was involved in an accident that destroyed the vehicle and injured him. A traffic police investigation found multiple discrepancies between the configurations listed on the vehicle's certificate of conformity and its actual configuration, and deemed it an "incomplete vehicle," barring it from registration. The owner sued the manufacturer for compensation; Wuzheng said the accident was caused by overloading; the court dismissed the claim on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to prove a causal relationship between the vehicle's nonconformity and the accident. Impact and handling: Sina Finance's exposure platform and China Quality Miles reported it, raising questions about certificate management and quality consistency for agricultural vehicles. Progress: media reports. Involved entity: Shandong Wuzheng Group Co., Ltd. Scope: the single Wuzheng three-wheeled agricultural vehicle involved.
