vehicles but also for in-use vehicles.
The vehicle industry has seen a
significant growth in two- and three-
wheeler population in Asian
cities, and in India in partic-
ular, with the Indian Emis-
sion Standards one of the
strictest around the world.
There were seven techni-
cal sessions and one closing
panel discussion.
The panel covered criti-
cal issues highlighted at
the conference to provide a
timely opportunity for in-
dustry stakeholders, policy-
makers and analysts to dis-
cuss the latest developments
in emission, fuel and engine
technologies.
Further, the delegates
considered how the industry should
take the optimum technologies for-
ward into the mainstream vehicle
technology that will result in a ro-
bust yet cost-effective framework
to meet emissions targets and se-
cure a sustainable and competitive
automotive industry for the years
ahead.
