First floor of Transport Department Vehicle Examination Complex to commence services on May 31

******************************************************************************************

The Transport Department (TD) announced today (May 20) that services currently offered at the Kowloon Bay Vehicle Examination Centre (except type approval service) will be relocated to the 1/F of the TD Vehicle Examination Complex (TDVEC) from May 31, including annual inspections of hired cars, taxis, public light buses and goods vehicles exceeding 16 tonnes in gross vehicle weight. The Type Approval Section will be relocated to the 1M/F of the TDVEC on June 21.

The TD reminded vehicle owners or their representatives that they should arrange for their vehicles to attend vehicle examinations at the TDVEC in accordance with the appointment dates, time slots and designated inspection lanes as indicated in the original appointment letters. Vehicle owners or their representatives are advised not to deliver their vehicles to the TDVEC for examination too early so as to avoid waiting outside the TDVEC and causing traffic congestion. In addition, if vehicle owners or their representatives leave a contact number when booking appointments, they will be reminded by phone or via SMS messages to visit the TDVEC for vehicle examinations.

Located at 18 Sai Tso Wan Road in Tsing Yi, the TDVEC has commenced services in phases since April 1 to reprovision three government vehicle examination centres, namely the New Kowloon Bay Vehicle Examination Centre, the Kowloon Bay Vehicle Examination Centre and the To Kwa Wan Vehicle Examination Centre. The New Kowloon Bay Vehicle Examination Centre was relocated to the G/F of the TDVEC on April 1.

To enable public light buses to travel to and from the TDVEC for vehicle examinations without permits, the TD will open designated roads for travelling to and from Tsing Yi and in the area upon commissioning of the 1/F of the TDVEC. Public light buses can only travel via the designated roads, including Tsing Tsuen Road (via the Tsing Yi North Bridge), Tsing Yi North Coastal Road, the Cheung Tsing Highway, Tsing Yi Road West and Sai Tso Wan Road for access to the TDVEC.

   The TD will announce the commissioning date of the second floor of the TDVEC in due course. For details of the TDVEC, please visit the TD's webpage (www.td.gov.hk/en/public_services/vehicle_typeapp_examination/tdvec/index.html).
