Definition
  • Vehicle emissions - Cars, SUVs, and light duty trucks that are fuelled by gasoline, diesel, and E85 emit both greenhouse gases and smog-forming pollutants from their tailpipes
  • Emission Standards - Emission standards are the legal requirements governing air pollutants released into the atmosphere. Emission standards set quantitative limits on the permissible amount of specific air pollutants that may be released from specific sources over specific timeframes
Concept

proportion of vehicles complying with emission standards is a very important indicator as it measures the extent of the waste and pollution control measures, put in place to combat the rise of waste and pollution impacts on the environment and the wellbeing of the future generations.
Rationale

Depict the total number of vehicles with approved emission standards out of all the registered vehicles in the country. Basically, to establish and review the waste and pollution policies in order to foster sustainable growth and development through low impacts technologies and modern technologies to ensure the well-being of future generations.
