snoop1130 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 BANGKOK, Feb 22 (TNA) – The cabinet approved the delay in imposing Euro 5 emission standard on newly manufactured vehicles, said deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Thanadirek. The delay is made from the year 2021 to January 1, 2024 due to the spread of COVID-19 pandemic which has hindered private sector’s manufacturing plan and their compliance with the enforcement of Euro 5 emission standard in 2021. Enforcement postponement of Euro 5 emission standard will practically allow the private sector to be ready for full compliance.

Yes the vehicles which the auto manufacturers did NOT make because of the Covid panic will not have to be modified at great expense, since the downtime during the Covid panic was put to much better use than retooling the empty assembly lines......

realfunster Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Not ideal but doesn't appear unreasonable to me. Don't forget the other side of the equation, it is quite possible vehicle sales slumped during COVID, so I assume the car manufacturers will be looking to offload their existing non-compliant inventory into the market before the new regulations kick-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
