Why is light truck + towing not popular?

In recent years, this combination model of blue light truck + middle axle tow truck has been quite prominent in the vehicle market. When the middle axle tow truck is installed behind the light truck, the car becomes longer, and the cargo loading space is also one more carriage. It seems that one trip can be more than A car of goods before. Let many owners eager to try.

Especially after the relevant departments strengthen the governance and control of the blue brand light truck "big ton small label" problem, the emergence of the middle-axle trailer car to a certain extent provides a legitimate export for the Blue brand light truck to increase the loading capacity. In order to alleviate inventory pressure, car owners in order to get rid of the bottleneck of "less money, DORA fines", have given great enthusiasm and interest to light truck + towing.

But unexpectedly, this kind of car has not been able to get a large range of popularity, it gradually began to disappear.

1. There are preconditions for applying C6 driver's license.

The "Quasi-driving Type and Code" has a clear stipulation for the C6 quasi-driving type: "The total mass of the car train is less than (excluding equal to) 4500kg."

That is to say, the owner can only use C6 driver's license to drive light truck + towing + cargo total weight < 4500kg model, whether empty or full, as long as beyond this category, it does not belong to the light trailer, can only use A2.

Can be seen from the practical application, some owners reflect, to the market of 4*2 light truck for example, as long as its trailer box, its total weight can reach 4495kg, this is still empty, as long as the load of goods, basically have to exceed 4500kg, must use A2 driver's license.

2, can continue to hang the blue card still needs specific analysis.

Of course, the light truck can be hung blue plate, but once the middle axle carriage is towed, this problem will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. According to relevant regulations, if this kind of car train wants to hang blue plate, it must meet three conditions at the same time: the total length cannot exceed 6 meters, the total mass cannot exceed 4.5t, and the household tonnage cannot exceed 2t. Any one of the conditions do not meet, only on the yellow card.

3. Change of expressway toll standard.

Blue light trucks are generally two-axle vehicles. After the middle axle cars are towed, they become three-axle vehicles or four-axle vehicles. In some provinces, the toll fees they need to pay for high-speed vehicles will also rise.

In addition, with the addition of a driven carriage, the fuel consumption of the vehicle will also rise. In the current situation of freight only falling, this has become a factor restricting the development of light truck + towing.

4. Middle axle carriage is difficult to drive.

The safety of the trailer with middle axle has been questioned by the owners. The trailer axle is in the middle of the carriage, and the body is easy to swing up and down or left and right when running. In addition, the connection point between the middle axle trailer and the main car is below the frame, which makes the movement of the carriage more flexible. When the speed is too fast or the road is slippery in rainy days, it is easy to swing the tail, and even induces the vehicle to lose control and roll over in serious cases.

Is the light truck + towing model good for nothing? Not necessarily. As the saying goes, "Honey for one, arsenic for another", light truck and tow truck can still get twice the result with half the effort in some special transportation scenarios, such as light cargo transportation.

Foam box, foam board and other goods such as large volume, small density, the vehicle loading space requirements are relatively high, light truck + trailer can be within the total weight of 4500kg without exceeding the limit, legal compliance to achieve a more generous amount of loading.
