Light general trucks fall under the category of small vehicles. They can be driven with C1, C2, C3, or C4 driver's licenses. A light truck is defined as a cargo vehicle with a length of less than 6,000 mm and a total mass of less than 4,500 kg, excluding mini cargo trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and low-speed trucks. Additional information: 1. Overview: Light trucks are a type of cargo vehicle. According to China's motor vehicle specifications, "light" is defined as a total mass of less than or equal to 6,000 kg. Additionally, cargo vehicles are categorized into four types based on load capacity: heavy-duty, medium-duty, light-duty, and mini. 2. Market competition: With changes in the demand structure and product adjustments in the cargo vehicle market, competition has evolved from "medium-duty trucks" to a diversified landscape encompassing heavy-duty, medium-duty, light-duty, and mini trucks.

Oh, light-duty general trucks are what we commonly call small trucks, mainly used for transporting goods with a load capacity of around 3 to 4 tons, falling under the commercial vehicle category. When I drive this truck for deliveries, I find it much more agile than large trucks, easier to navigate in the city, and more fuel-efficient. When buying one, make sure the total mass does not exceed 4500 kg, otherwise you'll need a yellow license plate, which comes with significantly higher insurance costs. Everyone buying this type of vehicle should remember to regularly check the braking system and tires—safety first, especially when transporting goods at night, ensuring bright lighting is crucial. Additionally, many young people nowadays use it to start businesses like courier services—it's economical and quick to get started.
