Van Truck Lifespan: What You Need to Know

What is a Van Truck’s Operational Lifespan?

A van truck’s operational lifespan is the period during which the vehicle is legally permitted to operate on the road, calculated from the date of manufacture to the mandatory retirement date. This regulation aims to ensure road safety and minimize environmental pollution caused by aging vehicles.

Factors Affecting a Van Truck’s Lifespan

According to Circular No. 16/2021/TT-BGTVT, the lifespan of a van truck depends on several factors:

• Vehicle Type: Passenger vans have shorter lifespans than cargo vans.
• Purpose of Use: Commercial vans used for transportation have shorter lifespans than those used for personal purposes.
• Vehicle Quality: Regularly maintained and properly used vans generally have longer lifespans.
