What procedures are required for a tow truck?

[DeclanLee]

First, you need to know whether your tow truck is blue-plated or yellow-plated. A blue-plated vehicle can be driven with a C-class license, while a yellow-plated vehicle requires a B-class license. For large tow trucks such as heavy-duty ones with front-four rear-eight configurations, a photo is required. The government has introduced policies to regulate the tow truck market. Similar to hazardous material vehicles, tow trucks must be affiliated with relevant companies and used under the company's name to obtain a license. After the tow truck's exhaust emissions meet the local registration policy, if the vehicle also requires an operating permit, of course, some units for self-use do not need to apply for it. It depends on whether the vehicle's national announcement includes a fuel announcement; otherwise, the transport management office will not accept the vehicle's operating permit application. Starting from January 1, 2014, the country has fully implemented the National IV emission standards. In first- and second-tier cities, only National IV vehicles can be registered for household use. The vehicle must also have environmental and fuel usage notices.
