TL;DR
- Authorities are reinforcing inspections on yellow machinery to ensure compliance with geolocalization (GPS) and RUNT registration regulations.
- Non-compliance, governed by Decree 723 of 2014, can lead to fines, impoundments, and daily operational losses exceeding $33 million.
- A major issue is the use of non-homologated tracking systems by some suppliers, preventing correct data reporting to official platforms.
- Companies face sanctions including immediate seizure, associated costs, fines up to 10% of the commercial value, and inability to obtain movement certificates.
- Zonar Systems provides homologated technology that meets regulatory requirements and facilitates real-time monitoring and compliance.
- Proper integration of certification, technology, and technical compliance allows companies to monitor equipment and reduce risks of penalties.
