Objective:

• The primary goals of the VAP are as follows:

• Ensure Compliance: Ensure that vehicles are roadworthy and have the necessary statutory documentation.

• Strengthen Compliance Processes: Enhance consistency and reliability in vehicle management.

• Promote Voluntary Compliance: Encourage vendors to adopt a self-regulated code of compliance.

• Sustain Improvement: Establish a platform to maintain continuous improvements in vehicle standards.

• The overarching aim of VAP is to certify that all vehicles involved in operations meet stringent safety standards through a clearly defined inspection and certification process.

Key aspects of VAP might include:

• Safety Inspection: Ensuring the vehicle adheres to safety regulations, such as the functioning of airbags, seatbelts, brakes, lights, and tires.

• Environmental Compliance: Checking emissions and fuel efficiency to ensure the vehicle meets environmental standards.

• Structural Integrity: Inspecting the frame, chassis, and body for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage that might affect the vehicle’s safety or performance.

• Performance Testing: Evaluating the vehicle’s operational performance, including engine efficiency, acceleration, handling, and braking.

• Technology and Features: Ensuring that electronic systems, such as GPS, sensors, infotainment systems, and driver assistance technologies, are working correctly.

• Documentation: Reviewing the vehicle’s maintenance history, service records, and accident history (if applicable).

• Depending on the context, VAP might also include assessing the vehicle for purposes of insurance claims, resale value, or before making any modifications.
