  • Rectifying Non-Compliance in 24+1-Seat Minibuses

In Türkiye, a number of vehicles were previously re-registered as 24+1-seat minibuses or buses without meeting the applicable technical requirements. Following inspections, the authorities issued warnings to prevent these irregular practices. Owners of such vehicles must have the vehicle assessed through the appropriate engineering procedure and bring it into compliance.

Rectifying Non-Compliance in 24+1-Seat Minibuses

This non-compliant conversion, seen more frequently on vehicles with maximum masses of 5,000 kg, 4,600 kg and 4,100 kg, can be rectified. The vehicle's conversion is carried out again in a configuration suitable for the vehicle. The conversion is approved through an engineering project under AİTM and requires current UNECE R107 reporting.
