According to recent estimates, transport accounts the quarter of the world's energy demand, thus contributes significantly to the release of greenhouse gases. Most of it comes from fossil fuels, and therefore it is important that governments support the users to choose one of the environmentally friendly modes of transport. One of the main causes of air pollution is primarily the amount of gases emitted by gasoline and diesel engines. The air pollution of road traffic is determined by the number of vehicles, their modernity, technical condition and the type of used fuel. The legal and technical measures created to reduce the environmental pollution include tightening the regulation of vehicle entry, propagating new generation of vehicles that meet environmental requirements and mandating an environmental review. The goal of the research is to sum up the causes of air pollution in large cities, focusing on the traffic loads. In the research the writer will evaluate and quantify the environmental impact of the use of CNG in transport based on statistical analyses and description of the related technologies.
