What is the mandatory scrapping period for pickup trucks?
1 Answers
In China, pickup trucks are classified as light-duty trucks and have a mandatory scrapping period of 10 years. However, an extension can be applied for, with a maximum extension of 5 years. During the extension period, the vehicle must undergo two inspections per year. This means a pickup truck can be used for a maximum of 15 years before mandatory scrapping. Specific details are as follows: 1. Mandatory scrapping: The longer the vehicle's age, the more it depreciates. In recent years, due to emission standard restrictions, vehicles that exceed the emission standards are generally guided to be scrapped in first- and second-tier cities, while other cities also enforce this policy comprehensively. 2. Additional information: Small and micro rental passenger vehicles have a usage period of 8 years, medium rental passenger vehicles 10 years, and large rental passenger vehicles 12 years; rental passenger vehicles have a usage period of 15 years.
