On 4 November (Milan time), the WVTA (Whole Vehicle Type Approval) certificate presentation ceremony for all-terrain vehicles of Chongqing SWM Powersports Technology Co., Ltd. took place at the SWM booth during EICMA, the Milan International Motorcycle Show. The ceremony was held at this global industry event, where SWM joined its visiting global partners to witness the presentation of the WVTA certificate for the Trailhunter and Nomader series. 

WVTA is a highly recognised whole-vehicle market access certification for the EU. It complies with stringent regulations covering vehicle safety, emissions, braking, lighting, electromagnetic compatibility and production conformity, and constitutes a mandatory requirement for the bulk supply of ATVs across EU member states. This WVTA certification covers multiple variants of the Trailhunter ATV and Nomader UTV, including long-wheelbase, short-wheelbase, single-row and double-row models. The vehicles were engineered to align with EU regulatory requirements from the early development stage. While meeting all rigorous standards, they retain original factory class-leading power, long-travel suspension and heavy-duty towing capacity. Original factory optional accessories falling within the scope of the type approval have been assessed as part of the whole-vehicle homologation. The full homologation process, including iterative design refinement, laboratory testing and regulatory review, was completed prior to the ceremony. The R&D, testing and compliance teams worked closely together to pass all required tests and secure approval. Relevant vehicles have already been shipped to Europe.

At the ceremony, a representative from TÜV Rheinland presented the WVTA certificate to SWM Powersports, recognising the all-terrain vehicles’ performance, SWM’s R&D competence and quality control system. A representative of SWM Powersports commented that drawing on Xinyuan’s decades of powertrain manufacturing heritage, SWM maintains its focus on the powersports off-road segment and adopts high EU standards for product R&D and manufacturing.

The Trailhunter and Nomader series are eligible for compliant export to the EU. Complete COC documents are provided with each vehicle, enabling consistent bulk supply to EU distributors and customers, supporting customs clearance and registration, and removing compliance barriers for dealer stock preparation and end-market sales.

Taking this certificate presentation as an opportunity, SWM will continue to enrich its European product portfolio, while advancing spare parts warehousing, after-sales training and channel support initiatives. SWM remains committed to delivering compliant, reliable all-terrain vehicles and supporting services to its overseas distribution partners. SWM’s booth is Stand O06, Hall 11 during the exhibition.
