Suwon Conducts Enforcement on Grade 5 Emission Vehicles

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon will restrict the operation of grade 5 emission vehicles from next month through March of next year, the city announced on the 2nd.

During this period, with the implementation of the 'fine dust seasonal management operation restriction,' grade 5 vehicles are prohibited from operating in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, and Incheon areas from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (excluding public holidays).

However, vehicles with emission reduction devices installed, vehicles for disabled persons, and livelihood vehicles of national merit are exempted. Additionally, vehicles that applied for low-emission measures and vehicles for which reduction devices are underdeveloped or cannot be installed will have their fines suspended until March of next year in Gyeonggi Province.

The city plans to enforce restrictions on grade 5 vehicles using unmanned surveillance cameras for grade 5 vehicles installed at eight locations within the city (Gwanggyo-ro three-way intersection, Delta Plex entrance, Mangpo underground underpass, etc.). Violators will be fined 100,000 won (once per day at the initial detection location).

The city has also enabled applications for low-emission measures projects such as early scrapping and installation of emission reduction devices for grade 5 vehicles.

On the auto emissions grade system homepage (https://emissiongrade.mecar.or.kr), applicants can apply for low-emission measure projects (operation restriction→low-emission measure application) and check for grade 5 emission vehicles.
