[sustran] Asia Vehicle Fleet Database Update

[aables at adb.org]

Dear Colleagues, 

As you already know, we at the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities 
(CAI-Asia) Secretariat are updating our vehicle fleet database for Asia. 
We are interested in getting data on (1) the annual total registered 
gasoline and diesel vehicles; and (2) the annual total registered 2-stroke 
and 4-stroke motorcycles (2- and 3-wheelers) in Asia from 1990 onwards. 

This information will be utilized for the CAI-Asia Oil Industry Dialogue 
and future research activities.  The database will be posted on the 
CAI-Asia website with the sources cited accordingly.   

Thank you very much to the people who have already helped us with this 
endeavor. 

Attached is the updated version of the database. The totals still need 
updating and we are generally lacking segregated data.  Up to now, only 3 
countries (Philippines, Singapore, and Sri Lanka) have annual vehicle 
statistics according to fuel use.  None of the countries listed have data 
on whether the motorcycles/ tricycles were using 2-stroke or 4-stroke 
engines.  The ones that really need input are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, 
Bhutan, Brunei, P.R. China, East Timor, India, Japan, and Thailand. 

Kindly help us fill the gaps by providing us with information on this and 
if you could, please refer us to the appropriate resource persons/ 
institutes by Wednesday, 27 Oct 2004.   

Thank you.  We look forward to your response. 

Sincerely,
