“A well-maintained possession lasts a lifetime,” a saying that rings especially true for trucks, the bread and butter of countless families. But as time marches on, so too do our vehicles. Eventually, we must face the reality that our trusty companions have reached their retirement – they’ve reached the end of their operational life. What does this mean, and what are the regulations surrounding end-of-life vehicles? This article will provide a detailed overview.

What is an End-of-Life Vehicle?

According to Circular No. 12/2017/TT-BGTVT, an end-of-life vehicle is a motor vehicle that has exceeded its operational lifespan as stipulated in Appendix 02 of the Circular, or a motor vehicle that does not meet the requirements for a Certificate of Technical Safety and Environmental Protection.

Simply put, an end-of-life truck is a vehicle that is too old and no longer meets safety and environmental standards for continued operation on the road.

Why Dispose of End-of-Life Vehicles?

Proper disposal of end-of-life vehicles is not only a legal requirement but also a responsibility each owner has to the community.

• Traffic Safety: Older vehicles are prone to breakdowns and malfunctions, posing a significant risk of accidents for both the driver and other road users.
• Environmental Protection: Older vehicles often emit higher levels of pollutants, contributing to air pollution and negatively impacting public health.
• Resource Conservation: Recycling materials from end-of-life vehicles conserves resources and reduces industrial waste.

Regulations on End-of-Life Vehicle Disposal

Vehicle owners are responsible for taking their end-of-life vehicles to designated disposal facilities. Unauthorized dismantling or illegal sale of these vehicles is a violation of the law and subject to strict penalties.

“Many cases involve the intentional use of end-of-life vehicles for overloading, endangering other road users,” shared Nguyen Van A, a traffic safety expert. “Public awareness regarding compliance with end-of-life vehicle disposal regulations needs to be improved.”
