One-third of vehicles plying Tehran’s roads failed to meet emission standards and pass technical inspection tests, during the first quarter of the current Iranian year (March 21-June 21).
Hossein Moqaddam, CEO of Tehran Vehicle Technical Inspection Bureau, said that in the three months, 465,598 vehicles visited the capital's technical inspection centers, of which 353,000 were under four years old and underwent their first technical check, ISNA reported.
"Thirty percent of the new vehicles, equal to 105,900 were rejected, 14% of which did not receive the certificate due to high emission, 9% for wheel alignment, 4% for shock absorber failure, 11% for brake system problems and 13% for appearance issues,” he added.
