Abstract
Motor vehicles already play a significant role in the climate modification problem and have the potential to play an even greater role in the future. The vast majority of the world's vehicles are concentrated in the highly industrialized areas of Western Europe and North America, but an increasing proportion are being produced in the Asia Pacific region and a large and growing proportion of them remain in that area. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the environmental implications of the current vehicle fleet and its likely future directions. An overall policy will be proposed to address both local and global environmental concerns
