Is it mandatory for vehicles to carry fire extinguishers?

[Tommy]

Regulations stipulate that passenger vehicles with more than seven seats and large trucks must carry fire extinguishers, while there are no explicit requirements for small vehicles. Below is relevant information regarding vehicle fire extinguishers: 1. According to the 'Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles,' vehicles should be equipped with compliant triangular warning signs. 2. Medium-sized (and above) passenger vehicles and hazardous goods transport vehicles must be equipped with valid fire extinguishers and firefighting equipment, securely installed and easily accessible. 3. Violators will be subject to a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. There is no such strict requirement for private cars, but during annual vehicle inspections, a fire extinguisher must be present in the vehicle; otherwise, the inspection will not pass. For safety reasons, it is still advisable to carry one.
