Motorcycle emissions control and exhaust inspection station quality management plan

Absrtact	The regular motorcycle exhaust inspection system has been implemented for 23 years since initiated in 1996. The key programs of this year included subsidy evaluation of motorcycle exhaust inspection station, station management and equipment certification, drafting pollution control strategies for motorcycles in service. In 2019, about 7.67 million inspected vehicles were eligible to be subsidized in the country with appropriated amount about $613 million. And the overall returned remittance ratio was only 0.05% for the transaction through official E-billing system. The recognition system of license plates was adopted to examine inspection photographs, and the accuracy of photograph size in January, 2019 was close to 99.3%, being the best over the years. In the quality control management perspective of the inspection stations, 100 standard gas spot checks were done, and no exceeding standards were found this year. For the exhaust gas analyzers with more than five years of age, 300 gas comparison spot checks were carried out to understand the actual drift of the analyzers. The overall spot check failure rate was about 5.0%. Based on the experience of this operation, a standard implementation procedure of gas comparison and inspection of the analyzers was established to provide the Department of Environmental Protection to follow. Meanwhile the programs also included assistance on the drafting of aggressive strategies for eliminating two-stroke motorcycles. From 2017 to 2019, the country aimed to eliminate one million units of old two-stroke motorcycles. A total of 913,317 motorcycles were eliminated during the period, with a total target rate of about 91%. In 2019, Taiwan’s periodic inspection rate of motorcycle emissions was 75.03%, and the unqualified rate of the periodic inspection was 5.52%. After the defective motorcycles were re-inspected and improved, the CO and HC emissions were decreased by 9,079 and 815 metric tons respectively. Total 435,649 motorcycles have been eliminated, recycled or scraped under the prompt of this inspection system, and the CO and HC emissions were decreased by 3,110 and 1,313 metric tons respectively.
