[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, will operate a 'Free Vehicle Emission Inspection Day' on the 18th from 2 PM to 4 PM at the parking lot of the Gimhae Small and Medium Business Business Center.

The city announced on the 13th that it will conduct free inspections to check the level of vehicle emissions generated during long-distance travel over the Lunar New Year holiday in advance, aiming to reduce fine dust and encourage drivers to voluntarily inspect and maintain their vehicles.

The main items for the free inspection include ▲ diesel vehicle soot and gasoline ▲ LPG vehicle carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) concentration, and air excess ratio.

The measurement results will be communicated to drivers, and the Gyeongsangnam-do Automobile Inspection and Maintenance Business Association plans to provide simple free vehicle inspection services.

Vehicles exceeding the standard on the day will be guided to nearby designated specialized maintenance shops for inspection and repair, and participants will be given vehicle consumables such as wipers and washer fluid as gifts.

A city official said, “To reduce fine dust in the transportation sector, we promote a free vehicle emission inspection day every month and support subsidies for vehicles applying for early scrapping of old diesel vehicles and installation of reduction devices.”

Lee Yong-gyu, head of the Climate Response Division, said, “Reducing fine dust requires everyone's participation to achieve good results,” and added, “We hope citizens will actively participate in reducing greenhouse gases and fine dust by checking their vehicle emissions themselves.”
