The state of Colorado has officially passed a law, HB25-1281, legalizing imported kei trucks that are 25 years or older without any ambiguity.
The law, effective from July 1, 2027, includes steps for registering the vehicles, such as a two-speed idle test for emissions compliance.
Kei vehicles from Japan, known for their limited power, have been gaining popularity in the United States with several states working to regulate them.
Enthusiasts in various states, including Texas and Massachusetts, have successfully pushed for protecting imported mini trucks, while some states like Georgia still have outright bans.
