Iranian Auto Inspection Center Reveals Startling Data

Since the Air Pollution Reduction (APR) scheme was launched in the capital late last month, an estimated 300,000 vehicles have approached the special car technical inspection centers. What is causing anxiety is that over two-third of this number had never been checked before!
Figures released by Tehran Vehicle Technical Inspection Bureau show 212,000 cars lacked the mandatory technical conformity papers and had come to the centers for the first time.
As per the scheme, initiated by the Tehran Municipality to help improve air quality, old cars have been banned in the sprawling city and violators are subject to fines on a daily basis.
