Dear Sustran members

We would like to share with you a new publication by CAI-Asia and UNEP-PCFV.

******
MANILA, 24 March 2011 – The substantial increase of two and three wheelers
in the Asian region needs to be addressed. In some Asian countries like
India and Indonesia, two and three wheelers (motorbikes, bikes, e-bikes and
auto-rickshaws) are even expected to outpace the growth of cars. This trend
creates a potential risk as more people prefer private individual travel
than public transport.

The UNEP Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles
(PCFV)<http://cleanairinitiative.org/portal/node/www.unep.org/pcfv>
 and Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia)
Center<http://cleanairinitiative.org/portal/index.php> jointly
prepared a publication to help inform Asian policy makers on the options for
addressing emissions from 2-3 wheelers and including them in future
transport planning. Entitled Managing Two and Three Wheelers in Asia, this
report analyzes the social and environmental impacts of motorized two and
three-wheelers and provides an array of tailpipe and non-tailpipe measures
to curb these.
