What does the 600,000 km scrapping of commercial-to-non-commercial vehicles mean?
2 Answers
The meaning of the 600,000 km scrapping of commercial-to-non-commercial vehicles is: commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial vehicles that have already traveled 600,000 km. These are usually taxis, with an age of about 3-4 years, and the total scrapping mileage has already been half used. More information about commercial-to-non-commercial vehicles is as follows: 1. The commonly referred commercial-to-non-commercial vehicles mainly refer to retired taxis converted to local license plates. After conversion to local license plates, the service life is still 8 years, and they are mandatorily scrapped 8 years from the date of manufacture, with no further annual inspections and no extension of the scrapping period. 2. Commercial-to-non-commercial motor vehicles exceeding 600,000 km must be scrapped. Passenger vehicles converted between commercial and non-commercial use must be scrapped according to the regulations for commercial passenger vehicles.
'Ying Zhuan Fei' means converting a vehicle from commercial use to private use, such as changing a taxi into a private car. The 600,000-kilometer scrappage rule means that once the vehicle is converted from commercial to non-commercial use, regardless of how long it has been used, it must be scrapped and cannot be driven once it reaches 600,000 kilometers. I have a buddy who used to run an unlicensed taxi and then converted it to private use. The mileage was already 500,000 kilometers, but he insisted on using it. As a result, the brakes failed and nearly caused a major accident. The policy stipulates that scrapping at 600,000 kilometers is for safety reasons. Commercial vehicles run on highways every day, suffering significant wear and tear, with engines and chassis aging quickly. Exceeding this mileage makes them prone to malfunctions. After scrapping, owners are encouraged to replace their vehicles with new ones, which promotes economic development and reduces pollution, as older vehicles emit excessive exhaust. In short, this policy protects the safety of both vehicle owners and pedestrians.
