Is It Illegal for Individuals to Own an Ambulance?

[LeHarley]

It is illegal for individuals to own an ambulance because ambulances fall under the category of non-commercial passenger vehicles. Non-commercial motor vehicles refer to those used by individuals or organizations not for profit-making purposes. Ambulances are specialized vehicles solely intended for rescuing critically ill patients or handling emergency epidemic situations, and thus do not qualify as commercial motor vehicles. Below is the classification of non-commercial passenger vehicles: 1. Passenger vehicles used by government agencies, public institutions, and enterprises. 2. Passenger vehicles used for driving instruction, postal services by postal companies, and courier services by courier companies. 3. Police cars, ordinary prisoner transport vehicles, standard hospital ambulances, and funeral hearses, based on the approved passenger capacity stated on their vehicle registration certificates.
