Review of ARPEL Member Companies’ Vehicle Emissions Research and Testing Capabilities in Latin America and the Caribbean Year: 2004 Publication type: Executive Reports Public document

Automobile manufacturers operate emission-testing labs in order to develop emission control systems and to demonstrate that these systems comply with mandated standards.
