What is the minimum weight requirement for pickup trucks to qualify for the green channel?
1 Answers
Pickup trucks are not assessed by weight for green channel eligibility, but rather by volume. Exceeding 20% of the vehicle's rated load capacity or cargo compartment volume qualifies for toll exemption. Below are specific details about the green channel policy: 1. Policy: According to regulations from the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China, vehicles legally transporting fresh agricultural products are exempt from toll fees. Therefore, whether it's a pickup truck or a large truck, as long as they are legally loaded with qualifying vegetables, fruits, or other agricultural products, they can enjoy toll exemption at the green channel on highways. 2. Categories: All toll roads in China (including independent toll bridges and tunnels) are included in the green channel network for fresh agricultural product transportation, exempting legally loaded vehicles from toll fees. Fresh agricultural products qualifying for the green channel include potatoes, sweet potatoes (red, white, yams, taro), fresh corn, fresh peanuts, etc.
