A regional policy development meeting on ‘Clean Fuels and Vehicles,’ organized by the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV) and supported by the UN Environment Programme’s Regional Office for West Asia, was held from 12-13 March 2008, in Manama, Bahrain.

The event gathered more than 70 representatives from governments, the Arab League, oil companies, the vehicle industry and civil society to discuss cleaner fuels and vehicles, as well as challenges and recommendations towards regional harmonization. Participants also deliberated the goals of PCFV to achieve a global ban on leaded petrol and a worldwide target of less than 50 parts per million for the sulphur content of diesel and petrol fuels.
