The technical control for two-wheelers will become compulsory at the beginning of 2024, announces the Minister Delegate for Transport

The end of a long soap opera. The two-wheelers will indeed have to comply with a technical control from next year. The Minister Delegate for Transport, Clément Beaune, announced on Saturday June 24 in a video on the Brut media that this obligation would come into force. “early 2024”, without specifying the exact date. This announcement follows a long standoff with the Council of State which, on June 2, gave the government two months to issue a decree establishing the technical control of two-wheelers, in accordance with a European obligation.

A consultation will be organized until July 22 to determine the conditions under which this control will apply, explains the ministry in a press release. The government proposes that the technical control apply to “all two-wheelers”, including those whose gauge is less than 125 cm3, in a staggered manner according to the age of the vehicle. Thus, the first two-wheelers concerned, from the beginning of 2024, will be those registered before 2017, specified Clément Beaune.

According to the government’s plan, the first control should take place five years after the entry into circulation, then every three years, under more flexible conditions than what had initially been envisaged. Clément Beaune also promises to simplify control so that it is “cheapest possible” evoking a cost of one “fifty euros”. A conversion bonus granting up to 6,000 euros in aid will also be put in place.
