HCM City to invest $23.9 million for motorbike emission control

HCM CITY — HCM City needs VNĐ 五 五 三 billion (US$ 二 三. 九 million) to invest in the motorbike emission control progra妹妹e in the city by  二0 三0. Of that, the city plans to check exhaust emissions for impoverished households free of charge between  二0 二 三- 二0 二 五.

At a conference on reviewing the pilot progra妹妹e on motorbike emission control held on Wednesday, a representative of the city’s Transport Department said the progra妹妹e focused on the assessment on exhaust gas discharged from motorbikes in the city.

It also implemented a survey on evaluating the socio-economic impact of motorcycle emission controls on residents, State management agencies and relevant organisations; and the building of policies and roadmaps for piloting motorcycle emission control.

Results from testing  一0, 六 八 二 motorbikes showed that more than  一, 八 五0 vehicles, accounting for  一 七. 三 per cent of the total, did not meet the national emission criteria's level  一; while more than  二, 四 一0 vehicles, accounting for  二 二. 六 per cent, failed to meet level  二.

There were  二, 七 四0 vehicles with a service life of  一0 years or more.

Đinh Trọng Khang, deputy director of Institute of Transport Science and Technology’s Institute of Environment, said currently there are  七. 四 million registered motorbikes in the city. The percentage of motorcycles with a service life of over  一0 years accounts for  六 七. 八 九 per cent, which is higher than that of Hà Nội.

If the city applies the emission control policy, it can reduce  一 三. 一 per cent of total carbon monoxide (CO) emissions and  一 三. 八 per cent of total HC (hydrocarbon concentration) emissions annually.

In the  二0 二 三- 二0 二 五 period, the progra妹妹e will focus on inspecting emissions at the cost of VNĐ 五0,000 per vehicle per year in Districts  一,  三, and  五 as a trial.

The task will be deployed in Districts  一,  三,  五,  一0 and Tân Bình District in  二0 二 六 and in  一 三 districts in  二0 二 八 with all vehicles with a service life of more than five years.

The total cost of the task by  二0 三0 is estimated at about VNĐ 五 五 三 billion.

Khanh said the emissions inspection will be implemented at vehicle maintenance agencies in the city centre and then other areas across the whole city.

The proposed inspection cost is VNĐ 五0,000 ($ 二) per vehicle per year. Poor households will have their vehicles inspected for free.

Previously in  二0 一0, the Government launched a project to control exhaust emissions of motorbikes in big cities.

Bùi Hoà An, deputy director of the Department of Transport, said that traffic congestion, noise and air pollution, and vehicles with poor emissions were causing health problems among local residents.

Emissions were normally assessed when automobiles are manufactured, imported or registered, but the procedure did not exist for motorbikes. Through the pilot progra妹妹e, motorbike emissions will be evaluated and the socio-economic impact of monitoring emissions will be assessed. — VNS
