Minister Samat's request: the implementation of vehicle standards should be delayed for a year. Despite the planning to implement new vehicle standards from next year, Minister Samat requested that the implementation of these standards be postponed for a year. In a letter to the First Vice President, Minister of State Atabak cited "the state's emergency conditions and currency problems" and "inability to invest in redesigning cars" as the reason for his request. This decision means that domestic cars will continue to be produced for at least another year without meeting the strict new standards and previous criteria.
