World Health Organization (WHO) has declared PM2.5 as Group 1A carcinogens. In order to protect the health of public, it’s necessary to tighten control over diesel vehicles which release PM2.5 easily. This project is in charge of implementing inspecting operation of diesel vehicles, to execute final strategy against high pollution diesel vehicles. Through all kinds of controlling methods to instruct owners to improve the situation of exhaust emission for the purpose of air pollution controlling.
This project has accomplished all the task from September 12, 2017 to Dec 31, 2018. In Guishan diesel vehicle emission inspection station, 6961 vehicles has been inspected, 550 vehicles were rejected due to low horsepower, and unqualified rate is 6.8%. In roadside task, we has achieved including roadside pull-over examination of 4259 vehicles, roadside pull-over emission inspection of 3315 vehicles, and 282 vehicles exceeded emission standards. Among those 282 vehicles, most of them are EURO 2 and 3 diesel vehicle.
In visual identification on emission, we have informed 2414 vehicles to be inspected. Those 2614 vehicles were mainly EURO 2 and the horsepower rate were relatively low which shows that vehicles might pass the inspection through irregular ways.
Notification of Initiative inspection were 26000 in number. 2787 vehicles have completed the inspection process (inspection rate: 11.3%), unqualified vehicles which were initiative inspected won’t be fined under the laws of Air Pollution Control Act.
We also promote source management through the grading system of self-management and air quality clean zone to enable owner realize the situation of exhaust emission. Before Dec 31, 2018, 5353 labels of self-management were issued, 1359 city buses achieved the grading standards of self-management. In regard to comparison works of Taikoo motor , we have finished 21 cases from Sep 2017 to Dec 2018, and the numerical value are all below 0.25m-1, which means the authorized maintenance works have reached a fairly high level. And second authorized maintenance plant has obtained certification in Aug 2018. Furthermore, we acquired certification of ISO/IEC 17025 by TAF (Taiwan Accreditation Foundation).
In order to improve our project quality, we have also hold 12 education training between the project period to demonstrate related technologies, legislations and project contents, which would enhance professionalism for the staff of the project.
