Auto Parts Knowledge | All You Need to Know About the Vehicle Emission Test

Some of you may have heard of the planned implementation of vehicle emission tests in Indonesia. This is a government step to improve the air quality in this country. The vehicle emission test is planned to be carried out in the DKI Jakarta area, considering that this area has the worst air quality.

However, do you know what a vehicle emission test is and what are the benefits for the environment and yourself? Some of you may also not know about what conditions can make a vehicle pass the vehicle emission test. This article will explain the importance of vehicle emission testing. 

What Is a Vehicle Emission Test?

The emission test is one of the testing efforts so that you can find out the engine performance and also the level of combustion efficiency of a motorized vehicle engine. Judging from the official website of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, emission testing is something that must be carried out by all motorized vehicle owners.

What Are the Benefits?

The purpose of the implementation of the motor vehicle emission test is to reduce the effect of greenhouse gasses in the DKI Jakarta area, most of which are produced by motorized vehicle engines. With this motor vehicle emission test, it is hoped that the low exhaust emissions from vehicles can affect the air quality in the DKI Jakarta area.

How to Test Emissions on a Car

Testing of motor vehicle exhaust emissions can be done by installing a gas detector in the exhaust of a vehicle. The vehicle being tested must be turned on but not on any electronic devices in the vehicle, such as air conditioning, lights, and radio. This test will be carried out for 5 to 7 minutes.

After this test is completed, the content and levels of substances in the vehicle fumes will be recorded. The substances to be detected are CO (carbon monoxide), C (hydrocarbon), CO2 (carbon dioxide), O2 (oxygen) and NO (nitrogen oxide). If you pass, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Environmental Service will provide a certificate that shows the passing of the motor vehicle emission test. Vehicle owners are required to carry out emission testing at least once a year, as recorded in Pergub Number 66 of 2020.
