Within 18 months from the effective date of this regulation, motorcycles and scooters in traffic must undergo emission testing.
Mr. Nguyen Hoang Duc, representing the Department of Environment, shared that the draft decision outlines the timeline for implementing the national technical regulation for motorcycle and scooter emissions in Vietnam.
Specifically, from July 1, 2027, emission testing will be mandatory for motorcycles and scooters in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
This requirement will be extended to other centrally-run provinces and cities from July 1, 2028.
By July 1, 2030, it will be effective in the remaining provinces and cities. However, the draft notes that “depending on the actual situation, these provinces and cities may decide to implement it earlier.”
According to the regulation, motorcycles manufactured before 2008 must comply with Level 1 – the maximum allowable emission limits specified in the national technical regulation for motorcycle and scooter emissions in Vietnam.
Motorcycles produced from 2008 to 2016 should meet Level 2 standards, while those manufactured from 2017 to June 30, 2026, must adhere to Level 3. Motorcycles produced after July 1, 2026, will be subject to Level 4 standards.
For scooters, those produced before 2016 must comply with Level 1 emission limits. Scooters manufactured from 2017 to June 30, 2027, should meet Level 2 standards, while those produced after July 1, 2027, will be subject to Level 4 requirements. Additionally, motorcycles and scooters operating in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City must meet emission standards of Level 2 or higher, effective from January 1, 2030.
Furthermore, motorcycles and scooters entering the “low emission zone” in Hanoi, as stipulated in the Capital Law, must comply with emission standards set by the People’s Council resolutions.
The Department of Environment emphasized that within 18 months from the effective date, all motorcycles and scooters in traffic must undergo emission testing. After this period, relevant authorities will conduct inspections, monitoring, and handle violations accordingly.
“Due to the extremely large number of motorcycles and scooters in Vietnam, it is impractical to expect all citizens to get their vehicles tested within a short period,” explained Mr. Hoang Duc.
