Technical Vehicle Inspections in Monaco to Include New Electric and Hybrid Car Checks from April 2026

Starting from April 1st, 2026, Monaco's mandatory vehicle inspection programme will expand to include specialised checks for electric and hybrid cars. The new requirements will add specific control points designed to assess the unique components and systems found in these modern vehicles.

The updated inspection protocol reflects the growing number of electric and hybrid vehicles on Monaco's roads and ensures these cars meet the same safety and environmental standards as traditional petrol and diesel models. Vehicle owners will need to factor in these additional checks when booking their mandatory technical inspections.

The move aligns Monaco with broader European trends towards more comprehensive oversight of alternative fuel vehicles. As the Principality continues to promote sustainable transport options, these enhanced inspections will help maintain vehicle safety standards whilst supporting the transition to cleaner mobility solutions.
