July 26, 2017

Minister
Ministry of Transportation
Beijing, China

USCBC supports the goal of the Ministry of Transportation (MOT) to ensure the safe transport of goods on China’s roadways. However, the recently published “Management Regulation on Over-limit Vehicles Road Transportation” (MOT Decree No. 62), which set new height requirements for road vehicles, has unintended negative consequences for a variety of USCBC member companies.
