More than 11,000 cars violate emissions standards
Hanoi (VNA) - Of 76,000 cars evaluated, more than 11,000 failed to meet European Emission Standards for passenger cars (Euro 2), according to Nguyen Huu Tri, director of the Vehicle and Motor Test Department at the Vietnam Register.
Over 3,000 cars in violation used petrol and 8,500 used diesel.
"Most non-standard cars can get operation certificates after receiving necessary maintenance and repairs," said Tri.
Since July 1, all cars nationwide are subject to new emission regulations, equivalent to Euro 2 standards. Cars found in violation will not get necessary environmental and technological safety certification.
Diesel cars must meet the average Free Acceleration Smoke limit, at 72 percent or below.
Two years ago, in Hanoi , Hai Phong, Da Nang , HCM City and Can Tho, the Euro 2 standard was applied, and around 10 percent of cars were found in violation during the first month of verification.
At present, there are 850,000 cars in operation nationwide.-Enditem
