HÀ NỘI (VNS) — Vehicles of transportation firms that have a capacity of seven to less than 10 tonnes have to install black boxes before July 1, the Directorate for Roads of Việt Nam (DRVN) said.

As per the DRVN’s regulation, trucks with a designed capacity of 3.5 tonnes to less than seven tonnes also have to install black boxes before January 1, 2017.

The DRVN has asked Việt Nam Register and local transport departments to direct registration centres to guide and help vehicle owners to implement the regulation.

Vehicles without black boxes will be fined VNĐ2 million to VNĐ3 million (about US$90-$130). — VNS
