How do transmission fluid leaks in heavy vehicles contribute to road pollution in Pakistan?

Many heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, and tractors in Pakistan operate with poor maintenance and often leak transmission fluid onto roads. These leaks mix with dust and rainwater, creating oily surfaces that are washed into drainage systems and rivers, contaminating water and soil. How can stricter vehicle maintenance regulations and regular inspections help prevent transmission fluid leaks and reduce road-based pollution?

Transmission fluid leaks are a growing but often ignored source of environmental pollution in Pakistan. Heavy vehicles such as buses, trucks, and loaders frequently leak fluid due to poor maintenance and overuse. When these fluids drip onto roads, they mix with dust and rainwater, forming oily runoff that flows into open drains and rivers. This contaminates water sources and harms aquatic life.

To prevent this, regular vehicle inspections and strict maintenance standards should be enforced by the government and transport authorities. Introducing eco-friendly workshops and requiring routine leak checks before issuing fitness certificates can greatly reduce road and water pollution caused by leaking vehicles.
