1 Answers
Trucks can be driven for a maximum of 15 years before being scrapped. Different types of vehicles have different mandatory scrapping periods. For example, National V standard trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years, but this can be extended by up to 5 years. If a vehicle reaches its usage limit but is still in good condition, and passes safety performance and exhaust emission tests, its usage period can be appropriately extended according to national regulations. According to the 'Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles', the scrapping periods for trucks are as follows: 1. Light trucks and heavy-duty trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years, which can be extended, but not exceeding 5 years. 2. Mini trucks and taxis with fewer than 19 seats have a scrapping period of 8 years. 3. Taxis with 20 or more seats have a scrapping period of 8 years, extendable by up to 4 years. 4. Tractor-trailers and mining operation vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, extendable by up to 4 years. Full trailers have a scrapping period of 10 years, extendable by up to 5 years. 5. Semi-trailers have a scrapping period of 10 years, extendable by up to 5 years. 6. Semi-trailer tractors have a scrapping period of 10 years, extendable by up to 5 years. 7. Low-speed trucks have a scrapping period of 9 years, extendable by up to 3 years.
