Chassis dynamometer emission testing conducted on 30 in-use Indian auto-rickshaws—two-stroke and four-stroke CNG-fueled (CNG-2S and CNG-4S) and four-stroke gasoline-fueled (PET-4S)—found that global warming commitment (GWC) associated with emissions from CNG-2S was more than twice that from CNG-4S or PET-4S, due mostly to CH 4 emissions.
