Is there a mandatory retirement age for diesel vehicles?
1 Answers
The retirement of diesel vehicles is not based on age but on mileage. Vehicles must be mandatorily retired when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, but the actual condition of the vehicle is also considered. For commercial vehicles, the retirement age is 8 years. Each vehicle has its own retirement age from the time of purchase, as stipulated by the national transportation department. This is a system where, during the vehicle's service period, safety inspection regulations are determined based on the number of seats and the duration of use. Other vehicle types also have different retirement conditions: Taxis: Taxis have a service life of 8 years and must be mandatorily retired after this period. Pickup trucks: Domestic pickup trucks must be retired after 15 years. Medium-sized passenger taxis: Medium-sized passenger taxis have a service life of 10 years and must be mandatorily retired after this period.
