Quantifying the proportion of normal- and high-emitting vehicles and their emissions is vital for creating an air quality improvement strategy for emission reduction policies. This paper includes the California LEV III and United States Environmental Protection Agency Tier 3 vehicle regulations in this projection of high emitter quantification for 2018 and 2030. Results show high emitting vehicles account for up to 6% of vehicle population and vehicle miles traveled. Yet, they will contribute to over 75% of exhaust and 66% of evaporative emissions. As these high emitting vehicles are gradually retired from service and are removed from the roads, the overall effect on air quality from vehicle emissions will be reduced.

According to the World Health Organization, India has the world’s worst air quality. Among other factors, vehicular pollution from the increasing stock of passenger vehicles has contributed to India’s deteriorating air quality. This increasing stock is also a factor in India becoming the third-highest oil-consuming and greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting country worldwide.

Qualified gasoline additive could improve the vehicle emission, fuel economy and deposits in engine. However, some people consider that additive plays a little role in the gasoline, for the quality of additives is still quite uneven on the market. This paper researched the influence of additives on complete-vehicle emission by adding 10 different market additives into gasoline, respectivly. Then one qualified additive was chosen and blended into base oil to do road running test with driving 1.2 × 104 km on a light-duty vehicle. The results show that vehicle emissions could decreased 15% averagely and deposits in engine can be cleaned obviously with qualified additive.
