China’s State Administration for Market Regulation said on October 15 that three companies had been added to its list of serious violators for conduct it said undermined fair competition.
Shandong Nuoli New Energy Technology Co. Ltd. used lower-quality materials to cut costs while manufacturing lead-acid batteries for electric vehicles. The products failed to meet standards in three inspection rounds. In May 2026, the company received a severe penalty and was added to the list.
Ningming County Taoyuan Vehicle Inspection Co. Ltd. in Guangxi altered vehicle diagnostic data between April 2023 and August 2024 and issued 1,451 false passing reports on vehicle emissions. In May 2026, it was severely penalized and stripped of its accreditation as an inspection and testing body.
