In his speech, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ir. Ilya Fadjar Maharika, MA, IAI. said "Our goal is to raise awareness, so we as humans who always do mobility have an environmental impact in the form of emissions released into the air. So build awareness so that later we can take responsibility," he said.
In line with this, Prof. Eko Siswoyo, ST, M.Sc.ES., Ph.D., Chairman of the Emission Test Organizing Committee said "through this activity, we invite the public to care about the condition of their vehicles as well as about cleaner and healthier air quality."
Emission testing is a test to determine the performance of a vehicle's engine, especially related to the levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions produced. The emission test pass standard depends on the age and type of fuel of the vehicle. Several stages of inspection are carried out before the emission test, such as cleaning the air filter, checking the engine cooling system, and checking the condition of the exhaust as a channel for exhausting combustion gases.
The benefits of emission testing not only affect air quality, but also benefit drivers and the vehicle itself. Through emission testing, vehicle owners can find out the level of emissions produced and determine the right maintenance steps to maintain engine health and performance.
This emission test activity also involves several partners, including Honda Anugerah Mlati, Nasmoco Mlati, and Bank Syariah Indonesia. Participants who have taken the emission test have the opportunity to check the battery, do consultations, and light checks. By showing proof of emission test results, participants will get a 20% discount on service fees and 5% on spare parts at Honda Anugerah Mlati. Meanwhile, participants with Toyota cars get a 25% discount on service fees at Nasmoco Mlati.
