The work will be reported to the ministry before September 30, 2014.

 

Accordingly, the Vietnam Register will carry out emission control schemes on motorcycles in provinces and cities approved by the Prime Minister in the Decision No. 909/QD-TTg dated June 17, 2010: Socialisation with the participation of motorcycle manufacturers, assemblers, dealers, repairers and servicers. Gas emission accreditation is the last phase of vehicle maintenance and repairing.
