Dear Debi Goenka,

Re: Two-wheeler emission standards worldwide

You will find a quite comprehensive and up-to-date compilation of emission
standards for motorized two-wheelers worldwide in Faiz, A. et al. 1996. Air
pollution from motor vehicles: standards and technologies for controlling
emissions. Washington, DC: World Bank. 

It not only lists the most recent, and forthcoming, emission standards in
several countries, but also, I believe, traces the evolution of the
standards through time. However, if memory serves, it does not list the
standards expected to come into force in India in 2000 and beyond.

Incidentally, Faiz et al 1996 contains a superb treatment of other
transport air pollution related topics, such as vehicle technologies, fuel
qualities, alternative fuels, and inspection and maintenance.

If you cannot get a hold of this reference, do let me know, and I will be
happy to mail you a photocopy of the pages containing the information on
two-wheeler emission standards.

Cheers,

Madhav Badami
