The implementation of emissions testing for motorcycles and mopeds in Vietnam starting January 1, 2025, is a new regulation aimed at protecting the environment and public health. This marks a significant step forward in managing air quality and reducing environmental pollution. The regulation mandates emissions testing in accordance with Vietnam’s environmental protection laws, to be conducted at certified testing facilities meeting national technical standards.

I. Is Emissions Testing for Motorcycles and Mopeds Mandatory?

Under this new policy, individuals operating motorcycles on public roads must carry the following documents:

• Vehicle Registration Certificate or a notarized copy, accompanied by an original certification document from a financial institution if the vehicle is under mortgage.
• Valid Driver’s License appropriate for the vehicle type.
• Certificate of Technical Safety and Environmental Protection Inspection as per legal requirements.
• Mandatory Civil Liability Insurance for motor vehicle owners.

According to the 2024 Road Traffic Safety Law, motorcycles are required to obtain a certificate of technical safety and environmental compliance, including emissions testing, to be eligible for road use.

II. How is Emissions Testing Conducted for Motorcycles and Mopeds?

Testing Locations: Vehicle owners must bring their motorcycles to certified emissions testing centers.

Testing Process: Inspectors will use specialized equipment to measure exhaust emissions and compare them with permissible standards. Commonly tested pollutants include CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), and particulate matter.

Certification: Vehicles meeting the standards will receive an emissions compliance certificate.
