(*)  Any unit that has been driven over 500 km but maximum 1500 km and any units fulfilling the Exception, requires following below points to be adhered to, to ensure classification as New:

Unit powered as an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE):

  • Vehicles shown less than 1500 km are considered as a new unit.

Unit powered as an Alternative Fueled Vehicle (AFV) requirements to be considered as a new unit:

  • Requires an OBD (Onboard diagnostic report). For details see here.

Regional Cargo Quality always to be informed and be receiver of pictures.

Internal message:
o Consensus on the exception would be that a BEV cannot be shipped if it has more than 1500 Km on the odometer. BEV has to be classified as New Unit to allow shipment.
o All other AFV categories (HEV, PHEV and CGV/LPG) are possible to ship as “used units” but need to be fulfilling the additional requirements in the AFV specifics. This can be found on the links below this box.
o OBD (Onboard Diagnostic report) is to connect a computer to the vehicles onboard computer and printing the diagnostic of the vehicle’s vital functions.
