The Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV) assists developing countries to reduce vehicular air pollution through the promotion of lead-free, low sulphur fuels and cleaner vehicle standards and technologies.
The Partnership aims to support developing countries in their efforts to improve fuel and vehicle technologies that reduce air pollution. The Partnership builds on current trends and efforts in the development of fuel and vehicle technologies. Constant improvements in these technologies have been introduced and diffused for decades.
The Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles was launched at the WSSD in Johannesburg in 2002. The Partners met for the first time in New York on 14 and 15 November 2002 to discuss and develop the implementation arrangements for the Partnership. There are over 90 partners of the PCFV, which include Governments, Civil Societies, International Organisations and Institutions of Higher learning.
