Is there a mandatory retirement age for pickup trucks?
1 Answers
When a pickup truck reaches 15 years of service or accumulates 600,000 kilometers, it must be retired according to relevant regulations. The new regulation abolishes the 15-year retirement rule for pickup trucks, but vehicles that fail annual inspections or reach 600,000 kilometers must still be retired. The retirement process is as follows: 1. The vehicle owner must fill out and submit an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Retirement" and affix their seal. 2. Apply at the registration counter, where a "Vehicle Retirement Notice" will be issued for vehicles that have reached the retirement age. For vehicles that have not reached the retirement age, the vehicle inspection counter will determine if they meet the retirement standards and issue a "Vehicle Retirement Notice" if applicable. 3. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle, presenting the "Notice". 4. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Retired Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the retirement registration will be processed after approval according to regulations.
