Introduction and Promotion of newly developed Gas Kits for Rickshaws in Quetta City
Introduction and Promotion of newly developed Gas Kits for Rickshaws in Quetta City
Vehicular emissions are the principal source of air pollution in Quetta town and valley. According to reliable sources most of the emissions are caused by two strokes rickshaw. There are more than 4000 rickshaws in the town. The extra quantity of mobile oil used to run the engine effectively in dry climate causes heavy emissions further aggravated by low quality oil. In order to effectively combat this problem the NGO will facilitate the process of CNG kit adaptation by providing loan to rickshaw owners/drivers. This will reduce the GHG emissions and hence will impact the local and global environment.
