Are pickup trucks exempt from tolls on highways during the Spring Festival?

[EmilioAnn]

Pickup trucks are classified as trucks and are not included in the toll-free vehicle categories. Below is relevant information about toll-free highways during the Spring Festival travel season: 1. Definition: The Spring Festival travel season, also known as Chunyun, refers to the period of high transportation pressure in China around the Lunar New Year. Centered around the Spring Festival, it lasts approximately 40 days and is a nationwide transportation peak announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, with special arrangements made by the National Railway Administration, Ministry of Transport, and Civil Aviation Administration. Generally, Chunyun refers to intercity transportation within mainland China, excluding traffic between mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau, as well as international traffic. 2. Toll-free conditions: During the Spring Festival, only passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer (including seven seats) are exempt from tolls on highways for seven days. The toll-free period starts at midnight on New Year's Eve and ends at 24:00 on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year (based on the time the vehicle exits the highway). Since pickup trucks are classified as trucks, they are not exempt from tolls during the Spring Festival.
