What are the new regulations for the scrapping of minivans?
1 Answers
For operational enclosed minivans, the mandatory scrapping period is 8 years. However, for non-operational minivans, there is no compulsory scrapping period as per regulations. As long as the vehicle meets local emission standards and passes annual inspections, it can continue to be driven. Additional information: 1. According to the industry standard "Terms and Definitions of Motor Vehicle Types" implemented by the Ministry of Public Security, some models originally classified as small or mini passenger vehicles that meet the definition of a minivan—specifically, "vehicles with a flat or short-nose body structure, single-layer floor, mid-engine placement, a width-to-height ratio (the ratio of the vehicle's width to its height) less than or equal to 0.9, seating capacity of 9 or fewer people, and equipped with seats"—are now classified as small or mini minivans. 2. According to the "Regulations on Road Transport of the People's Republic of China", those applying to engage in passenger transport must first complete the relevant registration procedures with the industrial and commercial administration authorities, then submit an application along with materials that meet the conditions specified in Article 8 of these regulations. Applications for passenger transport within county-level administrative regions should be submitted to the county-level road transport management authorities.
