May 2, 2018

Specifically, minor truck failures increased by 54.68%. In global numbers, in 2012 the ITV stations rejected 151,067 trucks in a first inspection while in 2016 the figure increased to 164,686 trucks, which represents a total increase of 13,619 vehicles. 

Said otherwise, the trucks rejected in their first pass by the ITV accounted for 35.68% of the total number of vehicles inspected.
