How to get the People to embrace the program? How to tackle malpractices? 10
SOLUTIONS (1)? Record all test results in a Database Calculate Pass/Fail threshold based on measurements Define quantity of vehicles to be rejected Long term planning based on data and facts Automated test equipment Limit human decision in test result Increase reliability and trust in the system 11
SOLUTIONS (2)? Private Operators To provide necessary investment To run test centres efficiently Reasonable Prices Fixed through tender Government can provide land free of charge Authority can decide to subsidise certain vehicles or Geographical Regions Private Vehicles @ $32 vs. Heavy Vehicles @ $12.5 12

ECONOMIC GROWTH 32
LESSONS LEARNED
IT IS POSSIBLE! 34
IMPORTANCE OF DATA & PLANNING Vehicle Safety and Pollution can be tackled in developing countries, with a long term plan, together with Economic Growth Data is Key To ensure an acceptable % of vehicle is rejected To improve regulations step by step Homologation is necessary to build for the future Periodic Testing is a must to ensure the actual condition of the fleet 35
PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE Communicate to the population the benefits of the I&M program Include the Transport sector in the debate Importance of Pricing: Can be lowered for certain categories of vehicles or geographical region Must be reasonable: half a tank of gasoline 36
BUSINESS MODEL Centralised inspection is a proven cost effective solution Privately operated concessions: No investment required from Authorities (BOOT/PPP) Quick development 37
