NEA: Tighter emission standards for in-use diesel vehicles

[Darthrevan]

As part of Singapore's overall plan to achieve higher air quality standards, a tighter emission standard for in-use diesel vehicles will be implemented from Jan 1, 2014, as annouced at this year's Budget Deabate.

All such vehicles will need to achieve a smoke opacity test result of 40 Hartridge Smoke Units (HSU) or lower during their mandatory vehicle inspections for road tax renewal. HSU is a measurement of the opacity of smoke that is emitted.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) has been working closely with the authorised vehicle inspection centres (VICOM, JIC Inspection Services and STA Inspection) to alert owners whose vehicles show borderline results during their mandatory inspection, so that they may take the necessary actions to service their vehicles before Jan 1, 2014.

The adoption of the revised smoke opacity limit will minimise smoke emissions from diesel vehicles plying Singapore's roads.

A six-month grace period will be introduced for vehicles that have borderline test results, to give time for vehicle-owners to adjust to the higher standards.

From Jan 1 to Jun 30, 2014, owners of diesel vehicles with smoke opacity test results between 41 and 50 HSU will be issued warning letters.

Vehicles with smoke opacity test results exceeding 50 HSU will still be fined, in accordance with the current regulations.

From Jul 1, 2014 onwards, owners of vehicles with smoke opacity test results above 40 HSU will be fined up to $5,000.

Motorists should get their vehicles properly serviced or repaired if they fail the smoke opacity test.

From Jan till Sep this year, there have been 5,809 enforcement cases against smoky diesel vehicles; 2012 saw 6,381, showing an increase every year.

As such, NEA said it is committed to ensuring clean and safe air in Singapore. Stringent enforcement action against smoke emissions from motor vehicles, in tandem with the tightening of emission standards for diesel vehicles over time, is part of Singapore's overall plan to reduce domestic emissions of particulate matter and achieve higher air quality standards.

Motorists can help to ensure cleaner air for all by practising good driving habits, servicing their vehicles regularly, and avoiding overloading their vehicles.

What causes the diesel vehicle to have high emission?

 

poor maintenance (engine oil not correct spec / way over drain interval ), poor fuel (high sulphur / industrial fuel)

ABOUT NEUTOTHERAPY
Your car is like your body; the internal combustion engine is your heart, and the air intake manifolds are your lungs.
 

Your car breathes to draw in air (oxygen) for the combustion process, and the combustion of the engine puts it into motion.

However, due to the incomplete combustion process, accumulated carbon deposits can cause common automotive problems like rough cold start, reduced power during acceleration, slurping or gulping noises and intense vibrations during idling.

These are symptoms of problems from your car’s respiratory system, and with Neutotherapy, we can “cure” your car, and make it run almost like new!
