Subdivide the group of motorbikes and scooters for emission inspection by year of manufacture

According to the proposed roadmap, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City will apply level 1 from July 1, 2027 for motorbikes manufactured in 2008 or earlier; level 2 from July 1, 2029 for motorbikes manufactured in 2016 or earlier; and level 3 from January 1, 2032 for two-wheeled motorbikes manufactured in 2026 or earlier.

The remaining centrally-run cities will apply the same but the roadmap will be delayed by 1 year compared to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Other localities will apply level 1 from January 1, 2029 for vehicles manufactured before 2008 and level 2 from January 1, 2031 for vehicles manufactured after 2009.

According to the Vietnam Register, according to the proposed plan, in the first two years of implementation, existing motorcycle warranty and maintenance facilities can basically meet the inspection needs of people in all localities. Of which, Hanoi has 155 facilities, Ho Chi Minh City has 310 motorcycle warranty and maintenance facilities (after the merger).

However, these motorcycle warranty and maintenance facilities are not equipped with emission analysis equipment and do not have inspectors to perform inspections. In addition, in order for non-brand warranty and maintenance facilities to participate in inspection services, it is necessary to amend and supplement the national technical regulations on motor vehicle warranty and maintenance facilities (expected in 3-9 months) and amend the implementation provisions to apply to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

According to the Vietnam Register, the regulation of emission levels in localities is in the direction of gradually raising standards in cities with high population density so that people have time to repair, upgrade or replace vehicles that meet the requirements. Vehicles with low emission standards that do not meet the requirements in large cities can go to rural areas with low population density to operate.

When issuing a certificate of emission inspection for motorbikes and mopeds, the emission level achieved by the vehicle must be clearly stated so that people know and use the correct geographical area for vehicles that meet that emission level.

The Vietnam Register also proposed that there should be policies to encourage economic sectors to participate in motorcycle and motorbike emission inspection services and have preferential policies for people to convert old, dilapidated vehicles that do not meet emission standards.
