What is the service life of a pickup truck?
1 Answers
In China, pickup trucks are classified as light-duty trucks with a mandatory scrappage period of 10 years. However, this can be extended upon application for up to 5 additional years, during which the vehicle must undergo biannual inspections. This means a pickup truck can be used for a maximum of 15 years before compulsory scrappage. Below is relevant information: 1. Pickup Truck: A transliteration of the American term, also known as a car-truck, combining features of both. It is a light-duty truck with an open cargo area behind the cab, integrated with the cab. Essentially, it's a passenger-cargo vehicle with a car-like front and a cargo box at the rear. 2. Functional Advantages of Pickup Trucks: Firstly, they combine the dual characteristics of family vehicles and commercial vehicles (passenger-cargo dual-purpose), serving as practical tools for both work and home. Secondly, their diverse configurations (two-door or four-door, long or short cargo bed, two-wheel or four-wheel drive, gasoline or diesel engines) cater to a wide range of needs. Compared to sedans, they offer better load capacity and off-road capability; compared to light and mini trucks, they provide superior safety and driving comfort.
