Three departments: railway transport of new energy vehicles is not managed as dangerous goods
Recently, the State Railway Administration, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. jointly issued the Opinions on Supporting the Development of New Energy Goods, Automobile and Railway Transportation Services and New Energy Automobile Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions). Wang Zhonggang, Director of the Transportation Supervision Department of the State Railway Administration, said that the introduction of the Opinions will effectively serve the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry, promote the full play of the role of the comprehensive transportation system and the green and low-carbon advantages of railway transportation, and serve to build a new development pattern.
The Opinions clearly states that railway transportation of new energy vehicles is not managed as dangerous goods. In order to ensure the safety of railway transportation, when consigning new energy commodity vehicles, the shipper shall provide the ex-factory certificate of new energy commodity vehicles (the export of new energy commodity vehicles is not subject to this restriction). The Opinions also clarified that the battery state of charge should be kept in a reasonable range, the fuel tank of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles should be in a normal state, and the new energy commodity vehicles should not be carried with backup batteries and other batteries, and other safety measures to ensure the safe and smooth railway transportation of new energy vehicles.
In view of the links related to the transportation of new energy vehicles, such as vehicle consignment, carrier safety inspection, railway vehicle status and loading reinforcement, the Opinions have identified the responsible subjects one by one, defined the measures and put forward specific requirements to control risks and eliminate hidden dangers from the source.

3、 Standardize railway transportation conditions
（1） When consigning new energy commodity vehicles, the consignor shall provide the ex-factory certificate of new energy commodity vehicles (the export of new energy commodity vehicles is not subject to this restriction), which shall be consistent with the actual consignment of new energy commodity vehicles.
（2） Battery charge state and fuel tank state. The state of charge of the power battery of new energy commercial vehicles shall not exceed 65%. The fuel tank hole cover of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is closed, without leakage and leakage. It is not allowed to fill or extract oil during railway transportation.
（3） When consigning a new energy commodity vehicle, it is not allowed to carry the backup battery and other batteries except the assembled battery. Except for the necessary items provided by the factory, the interior and trunk of new energy commodity vehicles shall not be loaded or carried with other items.
4、 Strengthen railway transportation management
（1） Ensure the safety of goods. The shipper shall be responsible for the authenticity of the ex-factory certificate of new energy commodity automobile products provided (the export of new energy commodity automobiles is not subject to this restriction), and for the quality and safety of the new energy commodity automobile products consigned. [Note from the Customs Information Section: the ex-factory certificate is still required for imported new energy commodity vehicles, but not for export]
（2） Strengthen the control of transportation.
