The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment’s Environmental Department has released information regarding the draft decision on the roadmap for implementing emission standards for automobiles, motorcycles, and scooters.
Cars in circulation need to meet emission standards according to 5 levels
Regarding some misunderstandings about the roadmap for implementing emission standards for automobiles, the Environmental Department clarified that the draft decision stipulates different emission levels that automobiles must meet according to their production year and suitability for production technology.
The emission treatment technology of each period is also a requirement for the emission standards of automobiles when participating in traffic.
The draft decision divides automobile emissions into 5 levels corresponding to the Euro standards, with level 5 being the most stringent.
The application levels will be categorized according to the production year and circulation area of the vehicle.
The main content of the regulation on the roadmap in the draft decision is as follows: Automobiles produced before 1999 must meet Emission Level 1; Automobiles produced from 1999 to 2016 must meet Emission Level 2; Automobiles produced from 2017 to 2021 must meet Emission Level 3 from January 1, 2026; Automobiles produced from 2022 must meet Emission Level 4 from January 1, 2026, and Level 5 from January 1, 2028.
In Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, according to data aggregated from the National Environmental Monitoring Network over time, the air quality has shown signs of deterioration, with air quality at some points reaching unhealthy levels.
One of the main causes of this situation is emissions from road motor vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to stipulate an earlier roadmap and apply stricter emission standards compared to other localities.
Accordingly, the draft decision stipulates that for automobiles registered in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, vehicles produced from 2017 must meet Emission Level 4 from January 1, 2026, and those produced from 2022 must meet Emission Level 5 starting January 1, 2027.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, this is a requirement for emission standards for automobiles when participating in traffic and not a ban.
Therefore, people should focus on ensuring that their automobiles are well-maintained, and older automobiles can still be in circulation if they meet the emission standards.
