Indian Government makes location tracking devices mandatory for vehicles used for carrying hazardous goods

Indian Government makes location tracking devices mandatory for vehicles used for carrying hazardous goods

In August 2022The Ministry of Transportation and Highways (MoRTH) issued a notification for all goods vehicles used for transporting dangerous or hazardous products. 

This notification mandated that all vehicles transporting dangerous or hazardous products must be equipped with a location tracking device, for the vehicles constructed on or after 1 September 2022.  The notification was amended because it has been brought to the attention of the government that vehicles transporting gases such as argon, nitrogen, oxygen, and goods of a dangerous or hazardous nature that do not fall under the purview of a national permit are not equipped with vehicle Location Tracking Devices. 

 
From 1 September 2022 vehicles of categories N2 and N3, in case of new models, and 1 January 2023, in the case of existing models, carrying dangerous or hazardous goods, shall be fitted with a vehicle tracking system device as per the automotive Industry Standard (AIS) 140.
