West Auto Hub expands the list of services and launches certification of vehicles according to ECMT requirements. The service is needed by carriers who plan to participate in the competition and work under ECMT multilateral permits. We help prepare vehicles for international freight transportation without unnecessary risks.
What is ECMT?
ECMT is a multilateral permit system for international road freight transport. 43 countries participate in the program. The ECMT permit allows you to operate flights without obtaining separate bilateral permits. This simplifies logistics and route planning for the carrier.
What is an ECMT certificate?
The ECMT certificate is an official document of the suitability of a vehicle.
He confirms:
- compliance of the technical condition of the tractor, trailer or semi-trailer with the requirements of the ECMT and ITF;
- the possibility of admitting vehicles to international transportation under ECMT permits.
In Ukraine, this document is often called a “white certificate.” This is an unofficial name to distinguish it from other technical or environmental documents.
Official name: “ECMT certificate of suitability for operation”, or “vehicle manufacturer certificate”. The name depends on the type of confirmation.
Why is ECMT certification needed?
The ECMT certificate is a mandatory document for participation in the permit allocation competition.
To submit an application, the carrier submits:
- certificate of compliance with technical requirements;
- vehicle data;
- confirmation of environmental class and technical condition.
Without ECMT certificate:
- it is impossible to obtain permission;
- the permit may be revoked;
- The vehicle is not allowed to be transported under the ECMT quota.
Advice from West Auto Hub: It is worth planning for certification before submitting the application. This reduces the risk of rejection.
