What are the passenger-cargo dual-purpose vehicles recognized by traffic police?

Passenger-cargo dual-purpose vehicles recognized by traffic police include: Dongnan Xiwang, Wuling Hongguang, Changan Ono, FAW Senya M80, Jinbei Grace, and SAIC Maxus V80. Although mini van-type passenger-cargo dual-purpose vehicles can carry both passengers and cargo, they cannot be used for commercial passenger transportation activities. If engaged in commercial road freight transportation, a road transport certificate must be obtained from the local transport management department. Mini van-type passenger-cargo dual-purpose vehicles are positioned as work vehicles for industry users, logistics vehicles for small and medium-sized enterprises, and tool vehicles for individual businesses. They are a type of freight transport vehicle serving daily work and urban logistics distribution for small-scale transportation.
Last time I helped my cousin who runs a supermarket choose a car, I specifically researched this type of vehicle. You have to look at the usage nature on the vehicle license. The traffic management department only recognizes vehicles with enclosed cargo compartments, such as the Wuling Rongguang New Truck with foldable rear seats or the Changan Ruixing M60 with a cargo capacity of over 4 cubic meters. The most important thing is to ensure the vehicle is registered as a 'multi-purpose passenger vehicle' when buying a new car, and the vehicle license photo must show metal barriers. We use the Jinbei New Haise for transporting samples to the building materials market. Even though it's a 6-seater for cargo, we've been checked a few times, but showing the license got us through. Remember, for the annual vehicle inspection, you must restore the original factory seat layout—removed seats won’t pass.
