Fenatrado has called off its work stoppage. The truckers association accepted an explanation by the National Institute of Ground Transit and Transport (Intrant) regulating tire tread depths.
To clear up any confusion regarding Resolution No 002-2019 that prohibits the use and installation on vehicles of tires that are not suitable for travel of public roads, the Intrant clarified that the four years prior to the expiration date of the tires does not apply to tires that have been stored. Intrant confirmed in a press conference that all vehicles can use tires of any age as long as they are in a suitable condition.
The organization also confirmed that the tire pressure could vary depending on whether the vehicle was laden or not, and depending on the manufacturer’s specifications.
The truckers called off the work stoppage that had been ordered for today.
