Energy: Asia Workshop on Inspection and Maintenance Policy
The Energy and Transport
Branch, as part of activities undertaken through its Global Initiative
on Tranpsort Emissions (GITE), sponsored a Workshop on Inspection and
Maintenance Policy in Asia on 10-12 December 2001. The Workshop was held
in cooperation with the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and
the Pacific (UN ESCAP) and the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI)
and took place at the ESCAP Conference Center in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Workshop aimed to assist developing countries in Asia to identify
and promote appropriate policies to encourage Inspection and Maintenance
programmes at the national level. It is hoped that it will contribute to
the Asian region's ability to promote vehicle safety standards, enhance
transport energy efficiency and reduce emissions from vehicles. Regional
and international knowledge was shared and information and lessons
learned regarding the implementation of national programmes for
transportation policy aimed at reducing emissions were highlighted.
The meeting brought together prominent regional and international
experts in this field. Presentations on key issues along with open
discussions and exercises were given by participants to foster a sharing
of knowledge, expertise, and concerns on the subject. Lessons learned in
various countries were highlighted. The Workshop was attended by
officials and experts from Governments, industry, and non-governmental
organisations, as well as representatives from appropriate international
organisations.
