What is the mandatory scrapping period for 7-seater minivans?
1 Answers
According to different vehicle purposes, the scrapping periods vary. Based on mileage, vehicles reaching 600,000 kilometers will be mandatorily scrapped. For commercial vehicles, the scrapping period is 8 years. However, regulations since May 2013 state that non-commercial mini and small passenger vehicles will no longer have a mandatory scrapping period, but they must be mandatorily scrapped if they fail three consecutive inspections. Additional information is as follows: 1. Vehicle inspection data: Apart from vehicle aging, vehicles may also be phased out due to failure to meet emission standards. Various regions have gradually tightened restrictions on emissions, with 2017 requiring the elimination of vehicles that fail to meet emission standards. Whether emissions meet standards is primarily determined by vehicle inspection data, specifically based on smoke opacity values. 2. Non-compliant vehicles: If repairs still fail to meet emission limits, the transportation certificate will be revoked by authorities. Currently, common technologies in China to make vehicles with excessive emissions meet smoke opacity standards include installing DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and adding water-assisted engines.
