Abstract
Transport related emissions have been long associated with adverse impacts on air quality particularly in densely populated urban areas. This paper evaluates the contribution of the road transport sector, in a typical small developing country, to air pollutants emissions. The Motor Vehicle Emission Inventory (MVEI) computer based model with inputs adjusted to the fleet and conditions at hand, is used to predict the contributions of different classes of vehicles and to forecast the corresponding emissions for the year 2020. Emissions reduction and the sensitivity to changes in factors such as fleet age, fleet technology, average speed and travel volume are assessed. Apart f
