Electric pickup trucks can also enter urban areas. At present, many cities have lifted restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city, such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi and other places. In addition, 97% of prefecture level and above cities in China allow pickup trucks to enter the urban area, including new energy pickup trucks. These vehicles enjoy the same right of way as small cars, while complying with local traffic regulations and traffic police commands.
Specifically, the main urban area of Hangzhou allows new energy pickup trucks to operate during specific time periods, while fuel pickup trucks can only operate at night. These policies aim to provide more convenience for new energy vehicles, reduce urban traffic congestion and air pollution.
In addition, the key task division plan for the 10th national teleconference on deepening the reform of "streamlining administration, delegating powers, and improving services" released by the General Office of the State Council clearly states that it is necessary to promote the lifting of restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city, expand the scope of new energy distribution trucks, extend the passage time, and further facilitate the passage of trucks on urban roads.
Therefore, electric pickup trucks can not only drive on highways, but also enjoy unrestricted policies in specific cities, enjoying the same treatment as pure electric vehicles.
