Everything You Need to Know About the Age Limit for Employee Shuttle Vehicles

Vehicles used in public transport and shuttle transportation must meet certain standards. These standards are set first and foremost to ensure the safety of the passengers being carried, and then to ensure that every process relating to road transport runs completely and in good order. The age limit for employee shuttle vehicles is one of the subjects debated recently and settled after review. Read on to find the answers to your questions about the age limit for employee shuttles.

Age Limit for Employee Shuttle Vehicles, 2019

The age limit for employee shuttle vehicles is set by a decision of UKOME. Under decision no. 2016/9-7, taken following UKOME's meeting of 28 December 2016, the age limits for employee shuttle vehicles in 2019 are as follows:

Service Type

Age Limit

Student shuttle

12

Employee shuttle

15

Carrying a company's own staff in company-owned vehicles

15

Higher-education student transport and group shuttle transport for social events

12

Free shuttle services

19

There is a defined standard for calculating a shuttle vehicle's age. Under this standard, vehicle age is calculated on the basis of the vehicle's first registration date where that date falls before the model year, and on the basis of the last day of the vehicle's model year where the first registration date falls after the model year.

Is it possible to track a vehicle without a device?

If you work with Volt Lines you no longer need a vehicle tracking system for your vehicles, because Volt Lines technology turns drivers' mobile phones into a tracking device, and all the information you need reaches you through the data collected via the mobile app.
