📋 Tender Overview
CARGO trucks and express passenger buses running on the YangonMandalay Expressway will be permitted to travel only after installing the Telematics system, and installation or renewal will only be carried out if all specified requirements are met, according to the Expressway Maintenance and Supervision Team of the Highways Department, Ministry of Construction.
Vehicle owners seeking to install or renew Telematics devices must have their vehicles properly inspected. Tire tread, brakes, suspension system, horn, headlights, rear lights, side lights, and signal lights must all function normally. The vehicle body and frame must be structurally sound. The paintwork must be glossy and in good condition. If the specified conditions are not met, the Telematics device will not be installed, and the renewal will not be granted.
The tighter regulations come in response to ongoing issues on the expressway, where weak or poorly maintained passenger buses and heavy cargo trucks disrupt smaller passenger vehicles travelling at speeds of up to 100 km/h, leading to accidents and traffic congestion.
Furthermore, vehicles must undergo regular inspections to reduce avoidable problems and injuries. When driving on the expressway, express buses must not exceed 90 kilometres per hour, and cargo trucks and pickup vehicles must not exceed 60 kilometres per hour. The Highways Department urged all drivers and vehicle owners to strictly follow these regulations.
