Commercial vehicle owners will be required to pass annual inspection

Commercial vehicle owners will be required to keep up their vehicles and pass an annual inspection for PMCVI and semi-annual inspections for passenger buses. Window inspection stickers will need to be displayed but the criteria for a successful inspection will be changing in 2023.

The ministry is starting with a one test and one result approach to emission and safety requirements on commercial vehicles. What this means for diesel CMV’s is a greater importance for practicing regular maintenance with the potential for pretesting your vehicle before inspections.

The extent of these changes will be rolling out up until August of 2023. Inspection facilities can enrol in the new program until June of 2023 and have been implementing the new standards since June 30th.

In order to achieve a clean inspection report and continue operating, you may need to consider upgrading your vehicle, getting a professional safety or pre checking emissions before these new standards are uniform across the province. By doing your part to reduce emissions and keep highways safe, you can enjoy less downtime and a cleaner future for our world.
