Vietnam is implementing a progressive regulatory framework to control emissions from new motorcycles entering the market. Decision 19/2024/QD-TTg, effective January 1, 2025, establishes an ambitious roadmap aligning with European standards. The regulation mandates Euro 2 and Euro 3 equivalent standards from January 2025, advancing to Euro 4 by 2026-2027 for two-wheeled motorcycles, while introducing a zero-emissions standard for three-wheeled motorcycles by January 2026.
Vietnam's regulatory evolution creates significant challenges for motorcycle manufacturers and importers who must verify compliance with increasingly stringent emissions limits before vehicles can be approved for the Vietnamese market. Emissions standards compliance verification requires highly precise, reliable measurement equipment capable of detecting the full spectrum of regulated pollutants across various test conditions.
Cubic Instruments, a leading manufacturer of advanced gas sensors and gas analyzers with nearly two decades of expertise in automotive emissions testing, has developed advanced emissions testing system Gasboard-9805, which is well-suited to address the requirements of manufacturers seeking to comply with Vietnam’s evolving emissions standards.
Gasboard-9805: Advanced Real-World Emissions Measurement System
Cubic Instruments' advanced Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS) Gasboard-9805 features a modular architecture built around three core systems specifically designed to measure light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle pollutant emissions during real-world driving conditions. The capabilities of Gasboard-9805 align well with current and future requirements for motorcycle emissions testing in Vietnam.
Gasboard-9805 incorporates a sophisticated modular design featuring three selectable PEMS components complemented by an integral exhaust flow measurement (EFM) module. The PEMS-GAS module precisely measures critical gas emissions including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), while the dedicated PEMS-THC module specializes in total hydrocarbon detection. Particulate matter analysis is processed by the PEMS-PN module, completing the comprehensive measurement suite. The integrated modular systems are developed based on Cubic's mature technology platforms including high-precision non-dispersive infrared (NDIR), non-dispersive ultraviolet (NDUV), electrochemical detection (ECD), hydrogen flame ionization detection (HFID), condensation particle counting (CPC), and diffusion charging counting (DC) principles, enable precise real-time measurement of all critical emissions parameters required by Vietnam's progressive Euro-equivalent standards.
The modular architecture of Gasaboard-9805 offers remarkable flexibility to accommodate various testing requirements. The system can be configured to test motorcycles against current Euro 2/3 requirements while also providing capability for the Euro 4 standards taking effect in 2026-2027. The future-proofing ability allows manufacturers to prepare for upcoming regulatory changes without additional capital investment.
Additionally, Gasboard-9805 features a built-in battery supporting over 4 hours of continuous operation, eliminating the need for external power sources during complete emission tests. The system maintains exceptional measurement stability despite environmental variations, ensuring reliable performance regardless of vibration, pressure changes, or variations in diverse climate conditions, from high humidity to varied temperatures.
The system's capabilities extend beyond basic emissions measurement, with integrated GPS for location tracking, environmental monitoring for atmospheric conditions, and precise time alignment that synchronizes all measurement data for comprehensive analysis.
Furthermore, the user-friendly PC software of Gasboard-9805 streamlines the testing process with intuitive guidance, data storage, and report generation functions, enabling manufacturers to efficiently document compliance with Vietnam’s emissions standards, simplifying the regulatory approval process for new motorcycles entering the market.
Cubic Instruments brings nearly two decades of specialized expertise in emissions measurement technology to Vietnam's emerging regulatory environment. The Gasboard-9805's proven performance combines laboratory-grade precision with field-ready durability—essential qualities for manufacturers navigating Vietnam's transition to stricter emissions standards.
