2-wheelers and Per capita income
• Countries like Malaysia and Thailand have the highest per capita income and 2-wheelers per thousand people
• Increasing per capita income and inefficient and poorly supported public transportation in Asian countries is seen to drive the increasing demand for individual motorized travel

• Ambient air quality in Asia is still generally improving despite continued increase in motorization and energy use
• Average ambient TSP, PM10 and SO2 trends are improving
• Average ambient TSP and PM10, however, continue to exceed WHO and USEPA guidelines
• Average ambient SO2 is in compliance with WHO guideline
• NO2 close to guidelines
• Insufficient information on O3 for reliable trend analysis
• It is uncertain whether the observed improvements in air quality will be sustained

Ambient PM10

Bangkok • Roadside particulate
levels are always higher than ambient confirming that vehicles are major PM source
• Increased number of policies on mobile sources (e.g. fuel quality and stricter emission standards) can help to close the gap between ambient and roadside levels

Strengthening the air quality management community in Asiawww.cleanairnet.org/caiasia
• Compared to five years ago, more Asian countries have now adopted or have legislated plans to adopt stricter vehicle emissions standards as well as fuel standards
• Emphasis has been on institutionalizing new vehicle emissions standards and not enough attention has been given in addressing emissions from in-use vehicles
• More attention has been given as well to light-duty vehicles compared to heavy duty vehicles
• One of the most pressing problem of Asian countries is the rapid increase in the motorcycle fleet but not enough attention has been given towards appropriate regulatory measures to control the associated emissions

Land-use Planning and Transportation
• Land-use planning, perhaps the most powerful regulatory tool that can be used to address vehicular emissions, is still seldom used by most Asian countries
• Governments and development institutions have started to place an increasing emphasis on urban transportation issues, particularly on public transportation
• International organizations have acknowledged the direct relationship between climate change mitigation and the promotion of public transportation and have initiated several projects on this
• Several countries in Asia have now started to develop sustainable urban transportation policies promoting public transportation, i.e. Bus-rapid transit
• In China, the Vice Minister of Construction, Qui Baoxing, has ordered city authorities to improve and maintain cycling facilities and in to order to restore the country’s title as the "kingdom of bicycles"

Seoul - Asia’s Big Dig
Strengthening the air quality management community in Asiawww.cleanairnet.org/caiasia
• Nihonbashi, one of the main historic areas in Tokyo sits oppressed under an eight-lane expressway
• It was once the point from which distances in Japan were measured
• A government project is now looking at ways to restore Nihonbashi’s old look
• The recommendation is to transfer 2km of the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway underground and create space along the river for waterside life
• The committee looking at this issue believe that restoring the Nihonbashi area's cityscape to its original state serves as a basic guideline for urban renewal plans to be put together in the future

China and India Urban Transportation Policy
• Both China, P.R. and India have developed policies that call for the integration of transport system plans with urban development, equitable allocation of road space and increased investments on public transportation, including BRT, rail and non-motorized transportation:– The National Development and Reform Commission
(NDRC) Guideline states that the 11th Five-Year Plan of China, P.R. which started in 2006 will prioritize the development of public transportation with mass rapid transit (MRT) as a key transport mode in mega cities.
– The 2006 Indian National Urban Transport Policy vision is to “recognize that people occupy center-stage in our (Indian) cities and all plans would be for their common benefit and well being” i.e., invest on more on transport systems that encourage greater use of public transport and non-motorized modes instead of personal motor vehicles

Retrofitting Buses
• Seoul has implemented a comprehensive project on retrofitting all its buses with after-treatment devices in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi – In 2005, over 29,000 vehicles were fitted with either diesel
particulate filters or DOCs, according to the class of vehicle.
– The scheme has now entered its Main Program phase, and in 2006 a further 83,000 vehicles will be fitted with after-treatment devices
• In Tokyo, a program which started in 1999 has paved the way for the wide circulation of low sulfur diesel fuel and continuous regeneration DPFs
• Several cities like Beijing, Bangkok, and Pune have pursued pilot projects on retrofitting
• Retrofitting Euro 1 or pre-Euro 1 diesel buses with particulate filters (DPFs) has not proven to be an effective means to reduce urban air pollution unlike Euro 2 busses where impacts are more substantial

2-Stroke Gasoline Rickshaws
• Several Asian cities have a big problem with emissions from 2-stroke gasoline three-wheelers
• A trend has emerged on the complete ban of 2-stroke three-wheelers in several Asian cities:– In Delhi, 2-stroke rickshaws have
been banned in favor of 4-stroke rickshaws that run on CNG and is now 100% free from 2-stroke gasoline rickshaws
– In Kathmandu, a similar ban has been effected and prohibits the operations of such vehicles in the valley
– Dhaka no longer allows the operations of 2-stroke rickshaws in the city
– In Lahore start has been made in banning 2-stroke rickshaws and Karachi is considering it
• Jakarta has introduced CNG bajajs in the city and have started to ban 2-stroke rickshaws

Electric Bikes in China, P.R.
•Electric bikes in China increased from only 40,000 in 1998 to 10 million in 2005
•Sales increased from about 7.5 million units in in 2004 to 10 million units in 2005
•This dramatic growth has been largely due to legislation banning gasoline fuelled scooters and bicycles, introduced from 1996 onwards in several major Chinese cities
•The most problematic issue with electric bikes is the use of lead acid batteries that have high lead loss rates during the production, manufacturing and recycling processes

Natural Gas Vehicles
• Emphasis have been on gasoline vehicle conversions to run on CNG in the past
• A trend towards replacing diesel-fed public transportation modes with CNG is being adopted by several Asian countries
• Several Asian countries, like Pakistan, India, and Indonesia have aggressively adopted measures to convert their existing 2-stroke rickshaws to CNG

Biofuels
Ethanol• China and India are now the world’s third and fourth
producers of ethanol in the world and accounted for a combined 5.4 billion liters in 2004
• As of July 2006, gasohol use in Thailand (E10) reached 3.5 million liters daily and available at 3,000 pump stations nationwide– a government mandate in 2007 will require the complete replacement of benzene octane 95 (petrol 95) with E10 and E20 blend will be introduced in 2009
• The Philippines has mandated E5 gasoline by 2007 and to E10 by 2010
Biodiesel• Biodiesel production have increased in Asia, particularly in
Southeast Asia in the past years, with Malaysia and Indonesia leading the production of palm oils worldwide
• The Philippines and Thailand have adopted policies that could lead to mandating as much as 10% of biodiesel blend in marketed fuel
• The Philippines has mandated a 1% blend of coco-methyl ester in diesel for government vehiclesSources: ADB, 2006; and http://thailand.prd.go.th/the_pm_view.php?id=1621
