To minimize injuries resulting from traffic accidents, trucks must comply with rigorous safety standards:
Protective Devices: Rear underrun protection devices must successfully pass crash tests, ensuring they effectively block rear-ending vehicles and absorb impact energy (tested at speeds of 30–32 km/h, with deceleration not exceeding 40g).
Occupancy Regulations: Cabins must be designed to safeguard the safety of occupants; certain vehicle models impose restrictions on the number of additional passengers permitted.
Driving Performance Standards: Vehicles are required to pass various performance tests-such as gradeability tests (heavy-duty vehicles must achieve a gradeability of ≥30%)-as well as acceleration performance tests.
