"Even government vehicles emit hazardous smoke so they cannot be exempted from the program.  To show that we are sincere in implementing this, all DOTC vehicles are being checked for smoke emission," Transport Undersecretary Arturo Valdez said.

                    [Summary] => The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) clarified yesterday that mandatory vehicle emission testing for private vehicles is still being enforced.


Transport Undersecretary Arturo Valdez said the temporary lifting of testing applies only to public utility vehicles.  Passenger buses, jeepneys, taxis, school buses, trucks for hire and vehicles for hire will be required to undergo tests January next year.

Transport Undersecretary Arturo Valdez said the program will be implemented gradually in Metro Manila in coordination with jeepney organizations.


"We have already coordinated with six groups of jeepney drivers and operators. This is similar to our drive against colorum buses along EDSA," he noted.
