Roadmap for applying automobile emission standards: There are support plans to avoid disruption for people and businesses

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment , the development of the Roadmap aims to control and reduce air pollution caused by vehicle emissions, contributing to protecting public health and improving the quality of the living environment. Priority will be given to areas at risk of serious air pollution such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment proposes: Cars manufactured before 1999, when participating in traffic, will apply Level 1 emission standards (equivalent to Euro 1 standards) from the effective date of the Decision. Cars manufactured in the period 1999-2016, when participating in traffic, will apply Level 2 (equivalent to Euro 2 standards) from the effective date of the Decision.

Cars manufactured between 2017 and 2021 will apply Level 3 (equivalent to Euro 3 standards) when participating in traffic from January 1, 2026. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City will apply Level 4 (equivalent to Euro 4 standards) from January 1, 2027.

Cars manufactured from 2022 will apply Level 4 from January 1, 2026; Level 5 (equivalent to Euro 5 standards) from January 1, 2032. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City will apply Level 5 from January 1, 2028.

From January 1, 2029, all cars participating in traffic in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City must meet Level 2 or higher.

Notably, automobile models manufactured and assembled under technical safety and environmental protection certificates issued before January 1, 2022, until their expiration date, will be subject to the same emission levels as automobiles manufactured in the 2017-2021 period (Level 3).

Concluding the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasized that the roadmap for applying emission standards for automobiles participating in traffic needs to be considered in a unified and synchronous manner between newly manufactured and newly imported automobiles and vehicles in circulation, avoiding the situation where imported vehicles are forced to meet high standards, while domestic vehicles still apply lower standards, causing unfairness and affecting the market.

The Deputy Prime Minister requested that contents that affect property rights and travel rights of individuals and organizations, such as zoning off restricted areas for vehicles, banning or allowing circulation, must be carefully reviewed based on current laws, ensuring regulations are made with the correct authority and at the correct level of documents.

The Deputy Prime Minister also requested a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the policy of restricting or banning vehicles, clearly identifying the number of organizations and individuals affected, and from there, developing appropriate support plans to avoid causing disruption and disadvantages for people and businesses.

These measures may include support for improvements and upgrades to vehicle equipment, policies for exchanging old vehicles for new ones, adjusting fees and prices for public transport services, and providing new types of fuel...
