Appropriate vehicle emissions standards for new and in-use vehicles, and a well-designed and operated inspection and maintenance program are important elements to an overall emissions reduction strategy. New vehicle standards must also be closely linked to fuel quality requirements.

This publication is one of the outputs of ADB's Regional Workshop on Strengthening Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance held on 7-9 November 2001 in Chongqing, People's Republic of China. It is the fourth volume in a series of policy guidelines derived from the five regional workshops organized by ADB from 2001 to 2002. The complete set provides an in-depth analysis of the different components of an integrated strategy to reduce pollution from mobile sources.

Policymakers in Asia are encouraged to combine the general principles outlined in the policy guidelines with their knowledge of the local situation in their respective countries and cities to arrive at effective strategies.
