1 Answers
Motorcycles may see the abolition of the mandatory scrapping age limit. With the improving quality of motorcycles and the increasing number of large-displacement models, the mandatory scrapping age limit has been a constraint on the development of China's motorcycle industry. There are related reports suggesting that the mandatory scrapping policy might be abolished. Differences between guided scrapping and mandatory scrapping: Guided scrapping is a recommendation for scrapping, but if the vehicle still meets the requirements for continued use, it does not have to be scrapped. Mandatory scrapping means the vehicle must, without exception, be scrapped. There are four criteria for mandatory scrapping: Reaching the stipulated service age limit; Failing to meet the national standards for safety technical requirements of in-use motor vehicles after repairs and adjustments; Still not meeting the national standards for pollutant or noise emissions of in-use motor vehicles after repairs, adjustments, or the application of control technologies; Failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.
