Summary

The bill creates a legal basis for checking the special system of motor vehicles and trailers. Considering the rapid development of technology and the possible need to respond flexibly to the introduction of new technologies, the draft establishes a general framework for the inspection of special systems and the authorities engaged in inspection. In particular, this concerns the fuel tanks of vehicles currently running on natural gas. The purpose of the innovation is to ensure compressed natural gas as fuel and safety of vehicles consuming liquefied natural gas. According to the plan, starting from 2021, vehicles that consume natural gas must undergo mandatory regular inspections, where the fuel tanks of these vehicles are checked for compliance with the requirements. In general, the safety of vehicles is ensured through a regular technical inspection, which is supplemented by a check of compliance with technical requirements during traffic supervision, but the fuel tanks of vehicles using natural gas are mostly covered or located on the roof of the vehicle, which means that their condition cannot be adequately assessed during the technical inspection. Also, the inspection requires the possession of professional knowledge, for example, the competence to assess micro-damages of the fuel tank, etc., which is not practical to expect from all technical inspectors.
