Previously, on March 17, the Government Office issued Notice No. 111/TB-VPCP on the conclusion of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha at the meeting on developing National Standards on emissions of road motor vehicles in circulation.
The Deputy Prime Minister directed the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to urgently issue according to its authority the standard (QCVN) on emissions for cars in circulation in March 2025, and issue a QCVN on emissions of motorbikes in circulation in April 2025.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment must develop and submit to the Prime Minister a roadmap for applying QCVN on emissions to cars in circulation in March 2025; submit to the Prime Minister a roadmap for applying QCVN on emissions to motorbikes in circulation in April 2025.
Although the roadmap for motorbike emission inspection has not been issued, the authorities have built a legal corridor related to this issue.
Speaking at the discussion session within the framework of the event "Green transformation - Joining hands for a sustainable Vietnam" organized by Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Huu Tien - Deputy Director of the Department of Science, Technology, Environment and Construction Materials (Ministry of Construction) said that according to the general policy, the authorities create favorable conditions for electric vehicles to operate as replacements for fossil fuel vehicles.
In the coming time, when motorbike emissions are assessed, the large number of vehicles emitting emissions may be eliminated. The authorities will also study policies to support people in appropriate conversion.
The Vietnam Register (Ministry of Construction) said that the process and procedures for motorcycle emission inspection will be implemented according to the provisions of Circular 47/2024/TT-BGTVT.
Circular 47/2024/TT-BGTVT stipulates that motorbikes with a time from the year of manufacture of more than 5 years must be brought to the inspection facility for emission inspection.
For motorbikes with a manufacturing year to 5 years, the owner does not have to submit an emission inspection dossier and does not have to bring the vehicle to the inspection facility for emission inspection.
The motorcycle emission inspection certificate is issued by the Vietnam Register on the inspection management software based on the results of the certification of technical safety and environmental protection quality in the production, assembly and import of motorbikes taken from the archived data of the Vietnam Register combined with the database on registration and management of motor vehicles of the Ministry of Public Security.
Not only regulating procedures, Decree 168/2024/ND-CP has also regulated penalties for failure to inspect motorbike emissions.
Accordingly, Decree 168 stipulates a fine of VND 200,000 to VND 300,000 for individuals and VND 400,000 to VND 600,000 for organizations that are motorbike owners who use a vehicle without an emission inspection certificate.
This penalty regulation has not been implemented yet and is waiting for the roadmap for motorbike emission inspection to be issued.
