Vehicles are one of the dominant of urban air pollution in Asia. While this problem is common to growing metropolitan areas throughout the world, it is particularly severe in Asia, where over half of vehicles are older vehicles and use of poor quality fuel. Emission from the existing fleet of vehicles can be reduced by (a) improving vehicle maintenance, (b) improving the quality of fuel. Some of these measures can be achieved through regulation. This report analyzes different technical and policy options for reducing emissions from vehicles.
