In many parts of the world, two and three-wheelers are the principle mode of transport for the majority of people. The large numbers of these vehicles contribute significantly to urban pollution, and many of the affected countries are introducing legislation to reduce emissions from these sources. This paper reviews the current emissions legislation in Europe, India and China, and describes the aftertreatment systems that have been designed to give emissions which comply with the legislation on both 2-stroke and 4-stroke powered two-wheeled vehicles.
