A modern center for environmental diagnostics of vehicles has been launched in Uzbekistan
A modern center for environmental diagnostics of vehicles has been launched in the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent. This was reported by the Podrobno.uz news agency.
At the center, along with issuing state license plates and registration certificates, vehicles will be checked for the amount of harmful substances emitted. Depending on the results of the environmental check, a red, yellow or green sticker with an RFID chip is affixed to the windshield of the car.
Thus, now registration of a vehicle is carried out in only three stages. Previously, this process took place in six or seven stages.
In the future, based on the current situation, it is planned to divide the city territory into several ecological zones. Vehicles will be restricted from entering these areas based on the color of their sticker. Access to environmental zones for vehicles without permission will be controlled automatically.
When organizing the work of the center, best practices in the field of environmental protection in countries such as Germany, Belgium, and France were taken into account.
It is also planned to install about 100 automatic air monitoring stations throughout Uzbekistan, equip 84 registration and diagnostic centers, as well as 216 regional branches of the Road Safety Service with modern diagnostic equipment.
In turn, practical measures will be taken to encourage the population to purchase electric vehicles. One of these measures will be a reduction in the fee for issuing state license plates for this category of cars.
