Another nail in the coffin of the 2-stroke engine was hit home as the Punjab Transport Department banned the registration of two-stroke engine motorcycle rickshaws as public transport.
Transport Secretary Agha Nadeem said “The government’s transport policy says that all motorcycle and scooter rickshaws should be eliminated in major cities by the end of 2007. The pollution will be reduced to the minimum with the introduction of CNG four-stroke engine scooter rickshaws.”
With India banning 2-strokes, this is one of the last major users of this technology. So how long before the 2-stroke is finally killed off?
