Gasoline cars are more vulnerable when passing a technical inspection

"Gasoline cars are more vulnerable when passing an annual technical inspection and with digitalization technical errors or data manipulations are no longer possible," he explained in "The Day Begins." Rumen Dunev - automotive expert and owner of a GTP station.

A part of the cars really have problems because of which they cannot pass the inspection, he added. He divided the "problematic" cars in three groups.

- The first group of cars are very new cars that, because of low-quality fuels, cannot pass inspection;

- The second group is the amortized cars. With them, in addition to spending gasoline, they also spend a lot of oil, just the CO is very high, and therefore they cannot pass through GTP;

- The third group includes motor vehicles in which the gasoline engine works well, but have problems with the exhaust system - a catalyst is missing or there are gaps in the system itself.

Rumen Dunev stressed that the fact that a car cannot pass GTP is not "some terrible drama" because he can fix the malfunctions and the state, he added, should give drivers time to get their cars in working order.

"In the long term, the tightening of the measure on the digitization of the GTP will affect road safety," Dunev specified.

The criteria by which GTP is prepared are the same and are synchronized with Europe. According to him, although Bulgaria's car fleet is quite aging, it is somehow maintained and not in a deplorable state.
