Implement new gasoline automobile’s and motorcycle’s emission certificate

Absrtact
This project is one of the major emissions control measures for new gasoline automobiles and motorcycles in Taiwan. The main task for this is to assist the competent authority to implement new gasoline automobile’s and motorcycle’s emission certificate related applications and verifications, which include: Vehicle model certification, Conformity of Production, Durability tests and On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) related verification tasks. As to the new vehicle model emission certificate verification task; in 2019, there were 359,359 gasoline automobiles and 788,159 motorcycles adopted the new vehicle model certification process and other 13,889 foreign used gasoline automobiles and 314 foreign used motorcycles adopted the individual testing certification process. For new vehicle model certification, 420 applications for gasoline automobiles and 387 applications for motorcycles were completed the verification and being issued the certificate; 2 applications were returned, within which 116 gasoline automobiles and 137 motorcycles belong to new engine family applications, others belong to existing engine family carryover, extension or modification and for all the certified automobiles and motorcycles, their testing emissions are comply with the emission standards. As to the new vehicle durability test plan applications for engine families, in 2019, 21 engine families applied for durability test plan and within which 6 engine family vehicles in compliance with the Stage 7 emission standards; 14 applications for full mileage testing and 7 applications for shorten mileage testing, all of them were comp leted mileage accumulation and being issued the deterioration factors; 24 durability testing check were implemented; as to the OBD testing plan, 15 applications for gasoline automobiles and 8 applications for motorcycles were finished the verifications. As to the Conformity of Production (COP) task for new vehicle model certifications, in 2019, 1,997 automobiles were performed the COP testing and within which one automobile failed the test twice; 1,537 motorcycles were performed the COP testing and two motorcycles failed the test; all the causes for failing the test were being explained, improved and the retest were performed and passed. The electronic fee collection system for certification process were available for online service on February 25, 2019 and the automobile Stage 6 emissions control certificates management system were available for on-line service on June 14, 2019 to complete the implementation of control measures for new vehicle exhaust emissions; description meetings for automobile and motorcycle stakeholders were being held respectively in the morning and in the afternoon on March 26, 2019; description meetings for in-use gasoline vehicle emissions control measures were held for Taipei Automobile Distributors Association and for Taiwan Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Association respectively to provide communication and discussion opportunities for vehicle stakeholders, competent authority and Certification organization and also provides application friendly environment and consulting services for vehicle stakeholders. Finally, consider the introduction of OBD requirements since Stage 4 emission standards for gasoline automobiles and Stage 6 emission standards for motorcycles; referred to current status of implementation and control measures in the world; take into consideration of future introduction of In-Use Performance Ratio (IUPR) for OBD; study current implementation status for the OBD system in Taiwan to investi gate the applicable content format for system information to meet the emissions control needs and to propose a viable plan for the competent authority to add OBD inspection in the vehicle’s periodic inspection as the reference for future policy setting.
