Don't wait until you fail the inspection to worry about repairing your car

Lê Thanh Phong |

From March 1st, vehicle registration centers in Ho Chi Minh City officially apply stricter car emission inspection procedures according to the new roadmap. This is a necessary step when the air pollution situation in major cities is increasingly alarming.

This change immediately created a movement in the community of vehicle owners and transport businesses, especially with the group of diesel vehicles, trucks, tractor-trailers and vehicles that have been used for over 10 years. With such a fleet of vehicles, if not prepared early, the risk of many vehicles "failing" registration at the same time is entirely possible.

Therefore, transport businesses are proactively preparing for inspection. Businesses with "old" fleets with signs of high emissions are put into repair, even calculating liquidation plans if they no longer ensure economic efficiency. Because when vehicles do not meet standards, the cost is not only repair costs but also delayed contracts, damaged reputation and the risk of being fined if intentionally circulating.

Not only businesses, individual car owners also need to change their habits. Many people have long only taken their cars for maintenance when there are clear signs of damage. Meanwhile, increased emissions often stem from technical errors accumulated over time, and inefficient emission treatment systems.

The new regulation is not to make it difficult for people but to ensure that vehicles circulating do not become sources of pollution. If they are maintained periodically, using the right type of fuel, and replacing components on time, the ability to meet inspection is still high, even for vehicles that have been used for many years.

Air pollution is no longer a distant concept but a problem that directly affects public health, especially in large cities like Ho Chi Minh City. Each vehicle with emissions exceeding standards contributes to increasing the burden of disease and anyone can become a victim.

Emission control is therefore not simply changing a technical procedure, but a necessary step towards sustainable transportation, green cities and better quality of life. Proactively inspecting and maintaining personal vehicles is not only to pass the registration period, but also a way for each person to show responsibility to the living environment.

Don't wait until the registration "fails" to worry about car repairs. Preparing early and complying with regulations is the only way to protect your rights and contribute to cleaning up the city's atmosphere.
