Status of vehicle emission standards in the ASEAN regionPages 103-106
Abstract
Vietnam's air quality has declined over the past few decades, especially in urban areas. There is a noticeable decrease in air quality in certain areas due to vehicle emissions. This article aims to assess the automotive emission standards of Asian nations and draw comparisons with Vietnam's emission laws. However, there are significant differences between the present emission ceilings set by different countries. For instance, Korea's pollution regulations do not favor any particular fuel, and light-duty vehicles (LDVs) are not specifically categorized according to weight. Vietnam, Thailand, and Korea have different weight categories and emission limits for cars that run on gasoline and diesel. Consequently, it is imperative to conduct a more thorough investigation into the creation of globally applicable emission standards. This will guarantee uniformity in the public's access to information and policies.
