What are the new regulations for cross-regional annual inspection of trucks?
2 Answers
The new regulation for cross-regional annual inspection of trucks is the cancellation of the "Letter of Authorization for Cross-Regional Vehicle Inspection". Currently, the traffic management department has fully implemented cross-provincial inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly undergo inspections and obtain inspection qualification marks in provinces other than the vehicle's registration location without the need to apply for inspection authorization procedures. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: 1. The meaning of vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". 2. Classification of vehicle annual inspections: It is divided into initial annual inspection and regular annual inspection.
I've been driving a truck for long-distance hauls for over ten years, and the new cross-regional annual inspection rules are really convenient. Last winter when I was transporting goods in Guangdong, I didn’t have to return to my hometown in Shandong—I just went to a local inspection station for the annual check. I booked an appointment via the 12123 APP on my phone, brought my vehicle license, ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy, and it only cost a few hundred yuan. The whole process took less than an hour, saving me two days of travel time. In the past, I had to make a special trip back empty, which disrupted my transport schedule. Now, with the new policy allowing inspections nationwide, it’s a huge relief for us truck drivers. As long as the vehicle has no violation records and the information is accurate, the inspection usually goes smoothly. This reform has genuinely simplified daily operations—no more back-and-forth hassles to get the annual inspection done on time, greatly improving overall efficiency.
