Iran: Air pollution emissions standards of 1998

All cars, both imported and domestic, have had to meet the ECEISO4 standards for emissions, and in the upcoming Iranian year manufacturers will be required to observe ECE-R83 standards, and the standards for light vehicles in Iran have been effectively increased to ECE R15.04 / ECE R49. Although already an accepted standard in Iran, this was generally not enforced until 2000.

Date Implemented: 1999/2000

Iran: Air Pollution Abatement Programme

Tehran Municipality will convert 1,500 diesel-fuelled buses to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). A mandatory emission inspection and control program was set up for motor vehicles permitted to enter the city’s Restricted Traffic Zone (RTZ). Lanes were specifically designated for buses. As a result, urban bus services, including ridership have increased in the last three years by thirty-five percent and average trip time has decreased. A Park and Ride facility with a capacity of 200 cars has also increased bus ridership.

Argentina: Reducing emissions

Argentina announced a voluntary effort to restrict greenhouse gas emissions within a range of 2 to 10 percent below the projected baseline level during 2008-2012 based on three different GDP growth scenarios. Argentina stated that this target would become an international obligation when the Kyoto Protocol entered into force and when new alternatives were produced to allow non-Annex I countries that adopt voluntary goals to participate in the mechanisms established by the protocol.
