With the continuous strengthening of the relevant departments' efforts to control the "large tonnage and small standard", some non compliant blue card light trucks are facing many problems in licensing and on the road. In order not to affect the inventory, many car enterprises have begun to study the marketing outlet of blue brand light trucks.

How can we improve the loading capacity of blue brand light trucks within the scope of compliance? The mid axle carriage has become one of the options.

In fact, according to the truth, the blue light truck and trailer are completely different models. Can these two vehicles really play the role of "1+1 ＞ 2" when combined?

Let's take a look at the advantages of this model.

This combination is to bring a mid axle trailer behind the light truck. From the actual announcement data, the length of the rear mid axle car can generally reach 7m, and the rated load is about 2.4t. In this way, with the light truck in front, the compliance loading capacity of the whole vehicle can reach about 4.5t, and the length is about 12m.

For short distance light goods dumping, the length and loading capacity of such vehicles have far exceeded 6 * 8 freight cars. The middle axle car can also share the load of the front light truck to a certain extent, relieving the pressure of "overload".

In addition, the front and rear vehicles of such a combined vehicle can be separated, and the front vehicle can still be used after the rear vehicle is disconnected. If it is used in the stall setting scene, the trailer in the back can be directly used as a stall, which is highly efficient and convenient to use.

After looking at the advantages, let's look at the disadvantages of this model.

The most obvious is security. Compared with the traditional light truck, this combined vehicle model adopts the mode of towing connection, and the configuration is relatively simple. If the driving technology is not qualified or the load is too high, it is easy to have tailspin and other phenomena, affecting the driving safety.

Secondly, the number of axles of this combination model is generally about 4, and the toll for high-speed transportation has also increased significantly, which is not suitable for high-speed transportation.

The last problem is the license plate and road of this model. Although it is said that the blue card light truck can be driven with a C license, when the middle axle car is attached to the rear, it becomes a freight train and no longer belongs to the category of light truck. If you want to drive such a car on the road, you need to hold an A2 license.

Some car owners said: Now the C6 driver's license has been issued, can it not be used for this light truck+center axle model?

In fact, just from the perspective of vehicle type, C6 driver's license is also applicable, but there is a provision for the applicable vehicle type of C6 driver's license, that is, the total mass of tractor and trailer is less than (not including) 4500kg. Otherwise, only A2 photos can be used.

In addition, in terms of licensing, this model may not be able to get a blue license, but also depends on the conditions of the vehicle itself. Generally, only when the following three points are met, can it get a blue license:

The total length shall not exceed 6m;

The total mass shall not exceed 4.5t;

Tonnage for household registration shall not exceed 2t.

Those who do not meet any of the three conditions can only be booked.

At present, this light truck+center axle combination vehicle model has a vague position in the laws and regulations, and the attitude of the laws and regulations towards it is not clear for the time being. Whether it is worth popularizing in a wide range seems to be debatable. However, according to relevant statistics, there are millions of blue brand light trucks in China, of which 68% are illegal, that is to say, nearly 700000 vehicles are not compliant. How to deal with this batch of models? Is it to eliminate the situation or to continue to stick to a compliance way? I'm afraid we still need to see the final definition of the regulations.
