What changes are expected for the importation of 0km and used cars
Until now, those who wanted to bring a vehicle from another country had to process the Model configuration license (LCM). With the new regulations, that will cease to be a requirement. “Before they asked for the model configuration license (LCM) to homologate it. We say: ‘The car is already. If in the United States it is and in Europe the same, Let’s presume that here it will also function‘”, Said Sturzenegger.
The only necessary step to put the vehicle in circulation It will be the vehicle technical verification (VTV), even if the car has unusual characteristics for the local automotive park. “You want to buy a car outside, I am talking new. (…) Then you have to do the VTV, because there you bring you a car from England that the handlebar is on the other side, But you make a kind of VTV here and the story is over”He explained.
Regarding the possible inclusion of used vehicles, the minister indicated that the Government also evaluates to advance in that regard: “We are seeing the possibility under much broader conditions than now, that of the used.”
The measure also contemplates the Special vehicles linked to strategic productive sectors, such as energy and miner. “We enable the importation of used special vehicles, such as the trucks carried by oil platforms,” Sturzenegger explained. And he shared an experience: “Mining people told me: ‘With this I bring my truck or I don’t bring my truck, But I can definitely bring the spare parts used. And you lowered the cost of operation of this truck by 40%’”.
The minister defended the initiative highlighting the general approach of the Government: “The Government of Milei is a government that is always thinking of people. It is focused on seeing ‘Does this serve people?’ He is not thinking if he serves the caste. ” And he clarified: “We are not going against anyone, we are in favor of the people.”
