This project aims to understand factors affecting diesel vehicle emissions and assess alternative mitigation options for decision-making in developing countries. Ongoing activities include emission testing, database development, pollution reduction strategies, and dissemination through the CAI-Asia network.

Developing Integrated Emission Strategies for Existing Land Transport (DIESEL)
Background All Asian cities are experiencing serious PM pollution, including Bangkok. The CAI-Asia conducted the ‘DIESEL Pilot in Bangkok’ • The ultimate goals of the project are: • To gain a better understanding of factors affecting in-use diesel vehicle emissions. • To assess alternative mitigation options to assist decision making in developing countries.

On-going Activities • Emission Testing • Develop Bangkok Diesel Vehicle Emission Factors • Total 195 vehicles (progress 50% - 109 vehicles)
On-going Activities • Bangkok Pilot Projects (under 4 selected diesel pollution reduction options) • Bangkok Diesel Retrofit Demonstration Project • Study status of Imported Second-hand Engine Market in Bangkok • Promoting the use of preventive maintenance practice in joint BMTA private bus project • Study of Emission from using Biodiesel in Chiang Mai
On-going Activities • Simple cost-benefit Tool for decision makers (IDEAS)
Discussions (1) • How can the pilot project contribute to better cooperation and coordination with the CAI-Asia Secretariat and the CAI-Asia local networks? • Information transfer from pilot project to CAI-Asia Secretariat • Dissemination of finding through CAI-Asia network i.e. website, BAQ,… • Using of existing material/experience from previous projects in other cities through CAI-Asia network
Discussions (2) • What is the relevance of the pilot project for local CAI-Asia networks? • Information Sharing/Exchanging • Capacity Building • Technology upgrade
