What is a Type 2 Vehicle?

[PenelopeLynn]

Type 2 vehicles refer to passenger vehicles with 8 to 19 seats or trucks with a weight of over 2 tons up to 5 tons. The classification of toll road vehicle fees will still follow the Ministry of Transport's industry standards, uniformly divided into five types of vehicles. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Type 1 vehicle: Sedans and small passenger vehicles with 7 seats (including 7 seats) or less, and small trucks with a weight of 2 tons (including 2 tons) or less are classified as Type 1 vehicles, with a toll price conversion coefficient of 1; 2. Type 2 vehicle: Passenger vehicles with 8 to 19 seats and trucks with a weight of over 2 tons up to 5 tons (including 5 tons) are classified as Type 2 vehicles, with a toll price conversion coefficient of 2; 3. Type 3 vehicle: Passenger vehicles with 20 to 39 seats, trucks with a weight of over 5 tons up to 10 tons (including 10 tons), and 20-foot container trucks are classified as Type 3 vehicles, with a toll price conversion coefficient of 3; 4. Type 4 vehicle: Passenger vehicles with 40 seats (including 40 seats) or more, trucks with a weight of over 10 tons up to 15 tons (including 15 tons), and 40-foot container trucks are classified as Type 4 vehicles, with a toll price conversion coefficient of 4; 5. Type 5 vehicle: Trucks with a weight of over 15 tons are classified as Type 5 vehicles, with a toll price conversion coefficient of 5.

I drive myself to and from work and often see this type of Class II vehicle on the highway—simply put, medium-sized vehicles like minibuses that can carry 8 to 19 people or small trucks weighing between 2 to 5 tons. Toll stations clearly differentiate them, charging slightly more per kilometer for Class II vehicles compared to sedans, as larger vehicles cause more wear on the roads. I remember my neighbor who runs a travel company—his 12-seaters all count as Class II. Every time he organizes group trips, he has to factor in the costs, as fuel consumption and toll fees add up. But when fully loaded, the cost per person actually becomes cheaper. For first-time car buyers who are unsure, it’s best to check the vehicle manual or online tools to avoid registering under the wrong category and paying unnecessary fees. Nowadays, some electric vehicles also fall under this classification. The overall rules are quite reasonable—just a reminder for everyone to plan their trips wisely to save money.

I've been driving a small truck for transportation for several years. In our industry, Class II vehicles refer to small trucks weighing between 2 to 5 tons, like light box trucks or modified pickups. The highway toll classification is quite reasonable - slightly more expensive than regular cars but much cheaper than heavy trucks. After all, they're neither too big nor too small, fuel-efficient and flexible. Every day when delivering goods, I have to calculate costs. Choosing a Class II truck means I can't avoid some higher-toll routes, so I have to detour or travel during off-peak hours to control expenses. Also, when buying a vehicle, you must register it as Class II, otherwise you'll face fines for frequent trips - totally not worth it. In terms of maintenance, these trucks have slightly larger engines but are still manageable to maintain, costing less than heavy vehicles. I usually recommend friends entering the transportation industry to start with Class II trucks - smaller investment with more stable returns.

In our travel agency, we commonly use Type II vehicles, which are medium-sized buses that can accommodate 8 to 19 passengers. I've managed a fleet before, and this vehicle size is just right for small group tours. Every time we set out on a trip, we pay the Type II toll at the highway toll booth, which costs a bit more than a sedan, but it's very economical when divided among the passengers. I've driven this vehicle a few times and found it to be agile and not cumbersome, with moderate fuel consumption and environmental friendliness. Currently, the policy allows these vehicles to be on the road with simple registration, making it quite convenient for newcomers to the industry.
