What is the difference between Class I, Class II, and Class III vehicles?
1 Answers
The difference lies in passenger capacity and cargo weight. Below are the relevant details: 1. Introduction to the three vehicle types: A Class I vehicle is a complete truck with an enclosed cargo compartment. A Class II vehicle is a chassis with a cab but no cargo compartment, used for modifying specialized vehicles such as dump trucks, fire trucks, and truck cranes. A Class III vehicle is a chassis without a cab but may have its own undercarriage, used for modifying long-distance coaches. 2. Classification requirements for the three vehicle types: Generally, passenger cars and small buses with 7 seats or fewer, as well as small trucks with a load capacity of 2 tons or less, are classified as Class I vehicles. Buses with 8 to 19 seats and trucks with a load capacity of more than 2 tons up to 5 tons (inclusive) are classified as Class II vehicles. The height of a Class I vehicle's front end is less than 1.3 meters, which is why minivans are classified as Class II vehicles. The classification of toll road vehicles will continue to follow the Ministry of Transport's industry standards, uniformly divided into five classes from Class I to Class V, with the toll price conversion coefficient increasing sequentially. The toll price conversion coefficient for Class I vehicles is 1, while for Class II vehicles, it is 2.
