“If our K1-certified trucking shopkeepers quit their activities or retire, a discount of up to 75 percent will be provided on the K1 authorization certificate, taking into account the remaining document period for those who have sold their vehicles and given their consent. With this arrangement, our trucker shopkeepers will be able to sell their vehicles more easily and continue their activities. There will be an opportunity to earn an income from the K1 documents that they will cancel as soon as they leave.”
