What is the Scrap Period for Pickup Trucks?

[DiAnastasia]

Currently, pickup trucks are still subject to the mandatory scrapping regulation of 15 years or 600,000 kilometers. However, some regions are gradually relaxing the 15-year scrapping rule for pickups, and household pickups no longer have a scrapping period but are still subject to the 600,000-kilometer scrapping regulation. Currently, the government is gradually providing subsidies for eligible National III diesel vehicles to be phased out. Taking Hangzhou as an example, the maximum subsidy amount is 14,500 yuan, while in some regions, the scrapping subsidy for diesel pickups can be as high as 40,000 yuan per vehicle. Second-hand scrapped pickups can also enjoy subsidies. Pickup Truck Scrapping and Deregistration: The applicant must send the vehicle to be scrapped to a qualified motor vehicle recycling company for scrapping and dismantling, obtaining the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate." The recycling company will then process the "Motor Vehicle Deregistration Certificate" with the traffic management department of the public security bureau and notify the owner that the vehicle has been deregistered. Pickup Truck Scrapping Subsidy Application: The applicant (or an authorized agent) must go to the service window to fill out and submit the "National III Diesel Vehicle Phase-out Subsidy Fund Application Form." The following documents are required for the application: Original and photocopy of the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate"; Original and photocopy of the owner's ID card (for individual vehicles) or the business license (for company vehicles); Original and photocopy of the owner's bank card (with a personal signature on the photocopy) or the company's bank account opening license (with the company's official seal on the photocopy); If handled by an authorized agent, a notarized power of attorney from the owner or the company's legal representative and the original and photocopy of the agent's ID card are also required. Pickup Truck Subsidy Disbursement: After approval, the subsidy funds will be transferred to the bank account opened under the owner's (or company's) name.
