Police Also Prioritize Using Gasoline and Eco-Friendly Vehicles Amid 'Yososu Crisis'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Amid the ongoing 'urea solution shortage crisis,' the police have confirmed that they have prepared guidelines to minimize the use of diesel vehicles and have communicated them to frontline units.

According to the police on the 8th, the National Police Agency recently disseminated the 'Police Vehicle Operation Policy in Response to the Urea Solution Shortage Situation' to police stations nationwide.

The police stated that emergency dispatch vehicles using diesel, such as 112, traffic, and criminal patrol cars, will be used for their original purposes, but priority will be given to assigning passenger cars (gasoline) and eco-friendly vehicles over diesel vehicles.

For buses used by mobile unit personnel dispatched to the field, buses that do not use urea solution will be utilized, and the active use of auxiliary heating and cooling systems while idling is also included in the guidelines. Additionally, unnecessary idling of vehicles is discouraged, and the use of vehicles for non-work purposes is requested to be avoided.

Meanwhile, the government implemented the 'Notice on Prohibition of Hoarding of Catalysts (Urea Solution) and Its Raw Material Urea' starting at midnight on the same day. Accordingly, hoarding of urea solution is prohibited.
