That model appears to have EPA approval, unfortunately they have no filings with the NHSTA. They are registered under the WMI of LY4 but have no coding document on file.

I say it appears to have EPA approval because it is being advertised for distribution in the USA. This model shares a common engine with other brands….it would be logical for them to share information and work collaboratively in establishing parts support.

I still think the market is very limited in the USA, they need to be very cautious entering unprepared. Full documentation and parts support would be prepared. That and cooperative ventures with others to share operating costs. Dealers want easy and simple systems online indexes linked to schematics.

I believe that it is difficult for them they are producing high volumes and selling them, but the lack of documentation and parts leads no were. It will ruin the reputation of any brand, simple and easy to access parts lists based on schematics are required.

This is good example of how it should work.

Actually tracking VIN numbers is even better, because the model number and year can be encoded in the VIN. This way if the part changes on a model then it would also change the links. Then each time parts are ordered it would also track consumption of the parts. That could all lead back as a report to the primary supplier. They could see the flow of parts and also see if certain parts have higher obsolescence then others. That’s how things that break too soon get taken out or off the assembly line, they get replaced with a better parts that last longer.
