Commenting on motorbike emission regulations, the Ministry of Industry and Trade contributed some opinions as follows:
Currently, the draft Circular only regulates the emission parameters of motorbikes and mopeds in circulation for 02 gases: carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbon (HC).
In many urban areas, the main cause of serious air pollution as it is now is mainly fine dust (PM2.5) and NOx.
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Trade recommends considering adding limits on fine dust, NOx and other dangerous HCs (or linking them to the next construction roadmap).
The Ministry of Industry and Trade also proposed to assess the current status of Vietnam's inspection system. Supplementing regulations on inspection time limits. Measures to handle vehicles that do not meet inspection requirements.
Assessing the impact when applying the Regulation: - Proposing to supplement estimates of compliance costs, which can be assessed through the formula:
M = n × (t × C + T)
In which: M: Total cost.
n: Number of vehicles (70 million vehicles).
t: Time to take the vehicle for inspection; about 2 hours.
C: Average labor cost per hour; ~ 47,000 VND/hour.
T: Ex cost of inspection/testing.
The Ministry also proposed that inspection and registration of emission inspection be an administrative procedure carried out by state management agencies and units authorized by state agencies.
Therefore, it is recommended to supplement impact assessments according to regulations, such as regulations on the use of inspection certificates as a type of vehicle circulation license.
Accepting and explaining this opinion, the Department of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said as follows:
The actual measurement of emissions proves that the PM and NOx fine dust indexes are very low and almost unmeasurable. NOx parameters have been controlled through the approval of newly manufactured and assembled vehicle types. - CO and HC are the initial precursors to form PM2.5 dust.
Answering the comments on the inspection, the Department of Environment said that this QCVN stipulates the parameters and limited value (levels). The contents of the basic assessment, the current status of the emissions inspection system will be evaluated in detail in the process of developing the roadmap for applying the standard of motor vehicle emissions and sewing vehicles issued by the Prime Minister.
Regarding the impact assessment, this Department responded that the contents of the impact assessment and compliance costs will be assessed in detail during the process of developing a roadmap to apply the emission standards for motorbikes and garment vehicles issued by the Prime Minister.
Giving opinions on inspection stamps, the Department of Environment said that this standard does not stipulate administrative procedures. Regulations on inspection of emissions of motorbikes and mopeds have been stipulated in the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety and sub-law documents.
