KUCHING, March 28: The Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) has announced a 20 per cent increase in rates for its mobile van services (MVS) and a 10 per cent increase for its mobile truck services (MTS), effective April 1.
According to Free Malaysia Today, Puspakom said the rates for MVS and MTS were increased from RM100 to RM120 for the first 50km, and from RM3,000 to RM3,300 for the first 50km, respectively.
In a statement, its chief executive officer, Mahmood Razak Bahman, was quoted as saying that vehicle inspection fees remained unchanged.
“The rate adjustments were made after a thorough study to ensure the sustainability of Puspakom’s mobile services for the benefit of its customers,” he said.
Puspakom’s MTS provides mobile inspection services to companies with large fleets, such as commercial vehicle operators, freight forwarding companies, driving schools, and vehicle dealers.
Meanwhile, its MVS offers inspections for private vehicles, including for ownership transfers, expired road tax, and the registration of imported vehicles.
Both services allow customers to bring their vehicles for inspections at their preferred locations without the need to visit a Puspakom branch.
The last review of service fees was conducted in 2007, despite annual increases in the Consumer Price Index, Puspakom said. — DayakDaily
