Hanoi Truck Color Change Guide: A Step-by-Step Process

“Endless luck” – a common saying among truck drivers, rings true even when it comes to changing the color of their beloved vehicles. ISUZU truck drivers on Truong Chinh Street, Hanoi are certainly familiar with giving their trucks a “new coat.” But how complicated is the process of changing a vehicle’s color these days? Let’s delve into the details with xetaihanoi.edu.vn.

Why is Permission Needed to Change Vehicle Color?

Changing the color of a vehicle, whether it’s a HINO truck or a car, requires permission from the authorities. This ensures legality and prevents theft or the changing of colors to facilitate illegal sales. Furthermore, registering the new color allows authorities to easily track vehicle information, providing better support to owners when needed.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van A, a traffic law expert at the Vietnam Institute of Transport Strategy and Policy Research: “Compliance with regulations on changing vehicle colors not only demonstrates civic responsibility but also contributes significantly to maintaining traffic order and safety.”
