Another issue is local air pollution, which is also linked to fossil-fuel combustion, not least in the transport sector. Especially in the world s growing megacities, road traffic has an increasingly negative impact on urban air quality (see also Chapter 19). 

Hence, BEVs are still largely applied in niche markets, such as for inner urban traffic. In this context electric vehicles will further profit from the introduction of environmental zones and toll charges on ICE vehicles in cities.13 Another promising application is the electric two-wheeler (scooter), which is becoming increasingly popular in Asian megacities. 

Unfortunately, positive trends could not be seen for the megacities in developing countries. The very low income of people only allows for the purchase and use of old vehicles with low technical standards (Nakamura et al., 2004). This is of major concern, in so far as half of the world population (48% in 2003) live in urban areas. 

Data from the EEA (2006c) reveal that air emissions from transport follow a slightly less expressed, but well comparable trend to entire emissions between 1990 and 2004. Table 19.2 shows the share for the transport sector of certain pollutants in the EU 40% to 50% of NO, and carbon monoxide (CO), 25% of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) and just 1% of sulphur oxides (SO,). In developing countries, and here in particular in the big megacities, the share for transport of SO, heavy metal and particulate emissions (not listed here) will -because of the old vehicle fleets - be much higher.

Table 2.8 illustrates the severity of air pollution problems in 20 so-called megacities around the world. Megacities were defined in this study as urban areas currently having, or anticipated to have by the year 2000, populations of > 10 million. In most cases, the World Health Organization guidelines (Tables 2.7) are exceeded by more than a factor of two for at least one of the air pollutants shown (Mage et al., 1996). 

Half the world s population fives in urban areas in Asia. Although several attempts have been made to address air pollution in Asia, much progress needs to be made to deal with the issue of urban air quality in Asian megacities (cities with population over 10 millions). Urban air pollution in Beijing, Delhi, and Jakarta has worsened because of population growth, increased industrialization, and automobiles. The impact on public health is considerable approximately 20-30% of all respiratory diseases are associated with air pollution.
