In recent years, the combination model of blue brand light trucks and central axle trailers has had a high appearance in the vehicle market. By installing a central axle trailer at the back of the light truck, the car has become longer and the loading space for goods has increased by one carriage. Running one trip seems to be able to pull an extra car of goods than before. In addition, this model can be driven with a C6 driver's license, without the need for a necessary A license like traditional trailers, making many car owners eager to try it out.

Especially after the relevant departments have strengthened their governance and control efforts on the issue of "large tons and small standards" of blue brand light trucks, the emergence of central axle trailer carriages has to some extent provided a legal outlet for blue brand light trucks to increase their loading capacity. Car companies have shown great enthusiasm and interest in light trucks and trailers in order to alleviate inventory pressure and car owners to overcome the bottleneck of "paying less and paying more".

Unexpectedly, this type of car model had not yet gained widespread popularity and gradually began to disappear.

1. There are prerequisites for applying a C6 driver's license.

The "Approved Driving Type and Code" has made clear provisions for the C6 approved driving model: "Cars and trains with a total mass less than (excluding) 4500kg".

That is to say, car owners can only use a C6 driver's license to drive a light truck, trailer, and cargo with a total weight of less than 4500kg. Regardless of whether it is empty or fully loaded, as long as it exceeds this range, it does not belong to a light trailer and can only use an A2 license.

From practical applications, some car owners have reported that taking the 4 * 2 light truck on the market as an example, as long as it is equipped with a trailer carriage, its total weight can reach 4495kg. When it is still empty, as long as it is loaded with goods, it basically needs to exceed 4500kg and must use an A2 driver's license.

2. Whether we can continue to hang the blue card still requires specific analysis.

Of course, light trucks can have a blue license plate, but once they are towed onto a central axle carriage, the issue of license plate registration needs to be analyzed in detail. According to relevant regulations, if this type of car train wants to have a blue license plate, it must simultaneously meet three conditions: a total length of no more than 6 meters, a total mass of no more than 4.5 tons, and a passenger tonnage of no more than 2 tons. If any of the conditions are not met, one can only be booked.

3. The toll standards for high-speed passage have changed.

Blue brand light trucks are usually two axle cars. After towing a central axle carriage, they become three axle or four axle cars, and in some provinces, the toll fees that need to be paid for high-speed transportation will also increase.

In addition, a driven carriage has been added, and the fuel consumption of the vehicle will also increase compared to before. In the current situation where freight rates only decrease but not increase, this has become a factor restricting the development of light trucks and trailers.

4. The difficulty in driving a central axle carriage is high.

The safety of mid axle trailers has always been questioned by car owners, as the wheels of this type of vehicle are located in the middle of the carriage, making it easy for the body to swing up, down, or left and right when running. In addition, the connection point between the central axle trailer and the main vehicle is located below the frame, which makes the movement of the carriage more flexible. When the speed is too fast or the road is slippery on rainy days, it is easy to have a tailspin, and in severe cases, it may even cause the whole vehicle to lose control and roll.

Is the light truck and trailer model useless? Not necessarily, as the saying goes, "A's honey, B's arsenic." Light trucks and trailers can still achieve twice the result with half the effort in some special transportation scenarios, such as light cargo transportation.

Goods such as foam boxes and foam boards are large in volume and small in density, and have high requirements for vehicle loading space. Light truck+towing can legally and legally realize more generous loading in a single transport under the condition that the total weight is not more than 4500kg.
