Iran's Department of Environment says some car owners by bribing vehicle inspectors, falsifying technical inspection papers and other fraudulent practices are trying to circumvent new measures introduced in Tehran to curb air pollution by banishing clunkers from the capital.
As per the Air Pollution Reduction (APR) scheme launched last month by the Tehran Municipality, old cars have been banned in the sprawling city, and violators are fined in one more attempt at improving air quality.
All four and two wheelers in the metropolis are required to go though automotive inspections and receive technical conformity that shows the vehicle meets automotive and emission standards.
