Buyers in the market for a new non-Euro 4 emissions compliant vehicle just got a bit of a reprieve. After the DENR set a December 31, 2017 deadline for the initial (new) registration of non-Euro 4 compliant vehicles, the LTO has issued a Memorandum Circular that allows the registration of non-compliant vehicles under one specific clause.
In Memorandum Circular 2017-2078 dated June 21, 2017, the LTO is allowing the initial registration of Euro 2 compliant vehicles provided that these vehicles were issued with their respective Certificate of Stock Reported (CSR) on or before December 31, 2017.
What this means is that dealers stuck with an inventory of Euro 2 compliant vehicles may still sell these vehicles to the public beyond January 1, 2018 provided that they have been issued with a Certificate of Stock Reported or CSR. The CSR is a certification that it’s already been inputted into the LTO MAIDRS (Manufacturers, Assemblers, Importers, and Dealers Reporting System), which is in turn, the basis for the PNP-HPG clearance.
Here is the pertinent portion of LTO Memorandum Circular No. 2017-2078:
“Geared towards the attainment and proper implementation of Article 4 Section 21 of R.A. No. 8749, otherwise known as the “Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999”, the Euro 4/IV emissions standard shall be implemented starting 02 January 2018 for new vehicles introduced in the Philippines. Euro II compliant vehicles issued their respective Certificate of Stock Reported (CSR) until 31 January 2017 but not yet sold in the market shall still be accepted for initial registration.”
Opening another window for corruption.
ReplyDeleteHow much LTO? LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo as long as the vehicle is manufactured and is issued a CSR before 2018, pwede paring maregister. Manufacturers sure are cramming now to double their production of Euro 2-compliant vehivles. I can almost smell the millions of money involed, as well as the foul smell of the corrupt. Nice work, Isuzu.
ReplyDeleteFair enough, but they should stop manufacturing / importing these Euro 2 models.

ReplyDeleteCan't they just retrofit these non-compliant vehicles in stock with updated, environment friendly engines?
ReplyDeleteEngines are now on Euro 6! Euro 2 gasoline stations are still operating in the provinces so some new Isuzu brand diesels are still plying those roads. Let's face it, it still beats the pusits ( black smoke belching jeepneys) that need to be phased out next year.
