The annual inspection and management of special-purpose vehicles must be conducted in accordance with national regulations governing motor vehicle inspections; however, different types of special-purpose vehicles are subject to varying inspection cycles and administrative requirements. Generally, registered special-purpose vehicles are required to undergo periodic safety and technical inspections-determined by the vehicle's classification and service age-to ensure that their technical condition complies with road traffic safety standards.
For special-purpose vehicles such as engineering vehicles and specialized transport vehicles, new vehicles may be exempt from inspection for a prescribed initial period, after which they must undergo annual inspections according to the standard motor vehicle inspection cycle. Special-purpose vehicles used for commercial operations typically require more frequent inspections, and those with extended service lives may be subject to additional inspection requirements. The annual inspection primarily covers items such as braking systems, steering systems, lighting equipment, exhaust emissions, and exterior markings, with a specific focus on verifying the vehicle's safety performance and operational condition.
