1 Answers
Pickup trucks have a mandatory scrapping period of 15 years. Pickups are classified as light-duty trucks, which have a scrapping period of 10 years, but this can be extended for up to five years upon application. During the extension period, the vehicle must undergo two inspections per year. This means a pickup truck can be used for a maximum of 15 years before mandatory scrapping. The longer a vehicle is used, the more it depreciates in value and the more it is subject to emission standard restrictions. The usage periods for various types of motor vehicles are as follows: 1. Vehicle scrapping period: Refers to the safety inspection system based on the number of seats and usage time during the vehicle's service life, generally applicable only to commercial vehicles. 2. Regarding motor vehicle scrapping periods: (1) Non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer have a scrapping period of 15 years, while those with more than 9 seats have a scrapping period of 10 years and a mandatory scrapping period of 20 years. (2) Tourist buses have a scrapping period of 10 years and a mandatory scrapping period of 20 years. (3) Commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years and a mandatory scrapping period of 15 years. (4) Light-duty trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years and a mandatory scrapping period of 15 years. (5) Passenger vehicles with 20 seats or more have a scrapping period of 8 years and a mandatory scrapping period of 12 years.
