What is the Scrap Age for Company-Owned Vehicles?

[SanEmersyn]

Non-operational vehicles and operational vehicles have different scrap age regulations, as detailed below: Scrap regulations for non-operational vehicles: For 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-operational small and mini vehicles, there is no usage age limit. However, when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Common scrap regulations for operational vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 13 years, other small and mini operational passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 10 years, and large and medium-sized operational passenger vehicles have a scrap age of 15 years. Mini operational trucks have a scrap age of 8 years, light and large operational trucks have a scrap age of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration department will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap age, the motor vehicle inspection department will determine whether they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if they do. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection department for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the vehicle owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If an operational vehicle is converted to a non-operational vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original operational vehicle's scrap age. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle's registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number for a newly purchased vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
