RELATED ARTICLE: IMPLICATIONS

The vehicle fleet in Algeria is growing rapidly since the 1990s following economic growth and is responsible for the increasing air pollution in large cities measured by the air quality measurement network. Because there are no data for vehicle unit emission factors to date, all environmental and transportation policies are based on European emissions standards, but national emission standards are currently not in place. This work will contribute to analysis of real emissions in Algeria and to the development of national emission standards and protocols for inspection and maintenance of vehicles.
