Drivers in Serbia await new rules for vehicle registration from July 5, because the full application of the 2018 regulation on attached motor vehicles and technical conditions for motor vehicles in traffic begins, according to which cars must meet certain emission criteria in technical inspection. .
If the cars also pollute the air due to the repairs, they will fail the technical inspection and must have catalysts and DPF filters, Novosti writes.
During the technical inspection of vehicles with diesel engines, the soot content in the exhaust gases will be checked, while in the case of gasoline engines, attention will be paid to the carbon monoxide content.
If the vehicle has faulty catalytic converters and DPF filters, it cannot be registered.
According to the Rulebook on the Division of Motor Vehicles and Trailers and Technical Correction, more stringent rules will apply to all vehicles that were registered in Serbia for the first time after March 1, 2014, compared to those registered before this date.
Therefore, gasoline engines, registered for the first time by this date, must have less than 4.5 percent carbon monoxide, when idling. Vehicles registered for the first time after March 1, 2014 must have less than 3.5 percent carbon monoxide.
Up to 150,000 used cars are imported into Serbia every year. There are no precise data, but approximately 2,300,000 vehicles are registered annually, and their average age is around 15-16 years.
If Germany changes its Guarantee Law, which is currently one of the hot topics in this European economy, used cars arriving in Serbia from that country could be 10 to 20 percent more expensive.
