Old Cars, Old Aircons

If you have a car older than 1999, you might not be able to register it next year.

In BusinessWorld's LTO to bar registration of pre-‘99 car models beginning next year, Beverly Natividad reports that "the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will bar the registration of car models made before 1999 in compliance with the country’s commitment to the Montreal Protocol that seeks to eradicate the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the next five to 10 years."

Ronald Allan says that car owners should have the option to replace their car airconditioners with a more environment-friendly aircon.

Although the BusinessWorld article states that: "the LTO will restrict the registration of old model cars still using CFCs in their car air-conditioning system," (emphasis mine) I've sent an email to the LTO.

Let's see what happens...
