What materials are needed to apply for ETC for trucks?
2 Answers
Truck ETC application requires a driver's license and the vehicle owner's ID card. If the vehicle belongs to a company rather than an individual, the company's business license or organization code certificate is required. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. Excessive speed will prevent reading of vehicle device information and may cause payment failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of OBU devices, or detachment/loosening of ETC electronic tags will deactivate the tags. These can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or highway service centers for inspection. Non-deliberate detachment only requires reactivation.
A while ago, I got an ETC for my truck, and the process was pretty straightforward. The required materials are usually a few essentials: the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID, a copy of the truck's vehicle license, and a copy of a bank card or passbook for automatic fee deduction. You'll also need to bring photos of the vehicle, typically front and side views, as they need to verify the size and type. Additionally, if it's a company vehicle, you might need a copy of the business license. I recommend making an appointment in advance on the ETC service point's website or app and bringing all the materials to avoid multiple trips. After installing the ETC, you won’t have to queue at highway toll stations, saving dozens of dollars on fuel each month—so convenient! One more tip: when installing, make sure the tag is firmly stuck to the inside of the windshield. If it falls off, you’ll have to reapply, which is a hassle.
