Older gasoline vehicles in developing countries and economies in transition: Their importance and the policy options for addressing them

The joint UNEP/OECD publication Older Gasoline Vehicles helps policy makers select the best options and programmes for controlling emission from old vehicles. It offers policy makers the opportunity to compare the strategies and experiences of other countries in their efforts to reduce automotive emissions. The publication examines the pros and cons of Inspection and Maintenance programmes, approaches that stress vehicle retrofits, accelerated retirement programmes, and the use of alternative fuels. It pays particular attention to the issue of leaded gasoline, and the benefits that result from an accelerated phaseout of this particular fuel additive. An appendix describes the major types of vehicle emissions and their health and environmental concerns. Older Gasoline Vehicles has numerous examples and case studies that make policy lessons real.
