What Kind of Trucks Can Be Driven with a C1 License?
2 Answers
Introduction to trucks that can be driven with a C1 license: 1. According to China's regulations, a C1 license allows driving light and small trucks with a total mass below 4,500KG (including 4,500KG), a vehicle length under 6 meters (including 6 meters), and a rated load capacity below 1,500KG (including 1,500KG). 2. It also permits driving small passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including 9 seats), with verification by traffic police based on the vehicle's registration certificate (must be a small car). Additional information: 1. The C1 driver's license is one type of license classification, authorizing the operation of small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro trucks, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. 2. Holders of a C1 license can also drive C2 automatic transmission vehicles, C3 low-speed trucks, and C4 three-wheeled vehicles, but this does not include C5 small automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for the disabled.
As someone who frequently studies automotive regulations, I believe the most suitable trucks for a C1 driver's license are light-duty models with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, such as the Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck or Foton Aumark micro trucks. These vehicles are stable to operate, and keeping the load capacity within 2 tons ensures safety and compliance. The key is to check the approved mass on the vehicle registration certificate to avoid overloading, which could lead to fines and significant safety hazards. For urban deliveries, these trucks offer low fuel consumption and easy parking. During maintenance, pay attention to brake pad wear to extend service life and prevent sudden breakdowns. Opting for an automatic transmission model can make driving easier, especially for beginners.
