What types of trucks can be driven with a C1 license?
2 Answers
C1 license holders can drive light and mini trucks. Below is relevant information about the C1 license: 1. Permitted driving scope of a C1 license: According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' the C1 license allows driving small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini trucks; light, small, and mini special operation vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. 2. New energy vehicles: As long as they are qualified new energy vehicles that meet national standards, whether pure electric or hybrid, they can be driven with a C1 license.
I often help friends with driver's license questions. The trucks that a C1 license can drive are mainly small trucks with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, making blue-plate vehicles the most suitable for road use. Common models include micro-trucks like the Wuling Rongguang Mini Truck and Changan Xingka, as well as small box trucks or flatbed trucks, which are very convenient for courier services, moving, or small businesses. When choosing a vehicle, it's important to check the model and weight limits on the vehicle registration certificate; overloading can easily damage the suspension system and may also result in fines. Driving these vehicles in the city is flexible and fuel-efficient, but you should take turns slowly to avoid scraping. Regularly check the tires and brakes to ensure safety.
