Approves the procedure for monitoring the technical condition of electric transport vehicles and taxis prior to a trip or shift.
They want to enable drivers to carry out checks without using measuring instruments. It is enough to visually inspect the components, assemblies, mechanisms and systems of the machine, check for the presence of strange noises and smells. This is done to prevent possible malfunctions of the electrical equipment, fuel system and engine cooling.
This technical control will be available to experienced drivers with certain work experience and qualifications. If a malfunction is detected, the vehicle must be immediately sent for diagnosis. The order may come into force on March 1, 2025.
“The solutions presented will simplify the procedure for carrying out technical inspection by bona fide transporters and will also allow self-employed taxi drivers to carry out inspection without involving employees of third-party organisations,” the Ministry of Transport said.
A shortage of taxi drivers has been predicted in Russia by the end of the year. The reason is said to be the tightening of immigration policy and regulations in this area. We are supposed to be talking about 130 thousand employees.
