According to the study ‘Contribution of the Technical Inspection of Vehicles to Road Safety and the Environment’, ITVs prevent 575 premature victims per year due to exposure to polluting emissions. In addition, if all the vehicles with the obligation to carry out the ITV carried it out, 207 additional victims would be avoided per year. And it is that the emissions from your vehicle are controlled at the stations, a fact of vital importance for cities to be cleaner and more habitable, by reducing and controlling the negative influence of these emissions from vehicles on people’s health.
And it is that detecting if the vehicle pollutes more than normal will be essential for safety, as well as to reduce emissions from cities, something totally necessary to reach the EU figures. It has been agreed to reduce carbon emissions by at least 55% by 2030, one more step towards the goodbye to the combustion car.
First of all, if an abnormal smell is detected in the exhaust gases of your vehicle, you should take it to a review, since it may mean that the injection system may not work correctly.
If you listen sounds similar to knocking or loose stones In your exhaust system, it is possible that part of the internal structure of the catalytic converter has become detached, so that it will not work properly and, therefore, the exhaust gases are not being treated as they should be before being released into the atmosphere.
If you detect smoke that is black, blue or too white in color coming out of the exhaust compared to its normal operation, it means that it is emitting exhaust gases with a higher concentration of pollutants than it should.
Finally, abnormal vibrations in the engine of the vehicle may cause a malfunction of the vehicle. If you notice that the power supplied by the engine is not adequate or that, in addition, the sound or touch is not normal, it is possible that something related to the fuel mixture is not working correctly.
