Smoke emissions - vehicles

Service Outline

Well maintained vehicles should produce very little smoke, except when they are starting up, accelerating hard, or climbing steep hills.

However, some vehicles emit dense plumes of smoke, and may not meet legal emissions standards. They may be Dirty Diesels!

Excessively smoky vehicles cause air pollution, can be a health hazard and are bad for the environment.
