Exhaust gas control
Protecting the environment and trying to reduce air pollution is an issue for all drivers. In order to control the emissions of vehicles, the state has established emission limits that must be checked every six (6) months for heavy vehicles and each vehicle must carry the Exhaust Control Card. This test is performed using a soot meter for diesel vehicles.
Convergence-Deviation control
Convergence-divergence control is a test of utmost importance. Maintaining a straight line of a vehicle is synonymous with passenger safety but also with the longevity of the vehicle subsystems and components. An unintentional change of course can have fatal consequences.
Finally, a vehicle that deviates from the straight line wears the tire tread unevenly and strains the arms and joints of its steering system.
The convergence-deviation measurement of a vehicle is performed through an instrument called a convergence meter.
Light Control
Proper operation of the lights of a vehicle ensures clarity in our field of vision, early warning of other drivers for a possible change of course or our sudden deceleration. Also the lights determine the position of our vehicle on the road at night.
During the technical inspection, the operation of all the lights of the vehicle is checked as well as the operation of the control switches of the above. The test is performed visually by the controller but also with the help of an instrument called a photometer.
At this stage it is checked:
→ The correct operation
→ The right coloring
→ The intensity of the lights
→ The correct aiming of lights
Braking System Check
The control of the braking system is one of the most important areas of the technical control, as the brakes of the vehicle we drive are the subsystem through which we can reduce its speed and immobilize it. The correct operation of the braking system is checked with the help of modern equipment by measuring the following sizes:
→ Maximum braking force
It is the maximum power that the brakes of our vehicle can develop. This force to be able to immobilize our vehicle must be equal to or greater than 75% of the total weight of the vehicle.
→ One-way braking
In order for our vehicle to maintain its straight and desired course, the forces developed on the left and right wheels of each axle must not differ by more than 30%
The excellent condition of our vehicle braking system is extremely important. In addition to the possibility of immobilizing the vehicle in case of emergency and the smooth deceleration without deviating from our course. The smooth behavior of the vehicle during deceleration at turns and at high speeds is ensured.
