Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 6, 2021 – Auto
The Ukrainian government has approved changes to the classification and uniform requirements for the construction and technical condition of wheeled vehicles in operation.
As the Minister of Infrastructure Vladyslav Krykliy explained, these changes introduce new categories of wheeled vehicles. In particular, L1e-L7e (motorcycles) and division into classes of category M2 and M3 (cars and buses).
The Minister explained why such changes in the classification of cars, motorcycles and buses were needed. It turns out that there are types of transport in Europe that do not exist in Ukraine and, accordingly, they are not on the list of our transport. Therefore, these European machines cannot be imported from Europe to our country. This is especially true of category L – machines with electric motors and increased mobility.
However, according to the Minister, the introduced changes to the classification of modern transport eliminate these shortcomings of domestic legislation. Therefore, our country will now be able to buy any cars, buses or motorcycles in Europe.
Ukraine will make the new list of cars which fall under the tax on luxury.
