“Transportation for A Better Life:
Smart Mobility for Now and Then”

23 August 2019, Bangkok, Thailand

Develop the National Fuel Strategy until
2025 in line with Environmentally Sustainable
Transport development, in which active
collaboration with relevant ministries and sectors in
fuel management is intensified.
Implement solutions for fuel quality
management in parallel with addressing issues of
emission standards, engine manufacturing
technology and I/M of motorized vehicles.
