Risk to loose vehicle licence leads to malpractices

How to eliminate only the most unsafe and polluting

vehicles ?

How to get the People to embrace the program ?

How to tackle malpractices ?

11

SOLUTIONS (1) ?

Record all test results in a Database

Calculate Pass/Fail threshold based on measurements

Define quantity of vehicles to be rejected

Long term planning based on data and facts

Automated test equipment

Limit human decision in test result

Increase reliability and trust in the system

12

SOLUTIONS (2) ?

Private Operators

To provide necessary investment

To run test centres efficiently

Reasonable Prices

Fixed through tender

Government can provide land free of charge

Authority can decide to subsidise certain vehicles or

IMPORTANCE OF DATA & PLANNING

Vehicle Safety and Pollution can be tackled in

developing countries, with a long term plan,

together with Economic Growth

Data is Key

To ensure an acceptable % of vehicle is rejected

To improve regulations step by step

Homologation is necessary to build for the future

Periodic Testing is a must to ensure the actual

condition of the fleet

36

PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE

Communicate to the population the benefits of

the I&M program

Include the Transport sector in the debate

Importance of Pricing:

Can be lowered for certain categories of vehicles

or geographical region

Must be reasonable: half a tank of gasoline

37

BUSINESS MODEL

Centralised inspection is a proven cost effective

solution

Privately operated concessions:

No investment required from Authorities

(BOOT/PPP)

Quick development
