A smooth ride to renewable energy: 7 actions for public transport to address emissions and air pollution by advancing renewables
This policy brief produced in a collaboration between UITP and REN21 proposes actions and solutions that can accelerate the path to achieve net zero and carbon neutral goals through the connection between renewable energy and public transport. This brief is for public transport authorities, public transport operators, urban planners and anyone interested in advancing renewables in public transport.
Cost comparison of battery swapping, point charging, and ICE two-wheelers in India
Battery swapping is an innovative electric vehicle refueling model that can be used by vehicles with a detachable battery. This paper evaluates if electric two-wheelers in India with the battery-swapping option have achieved cost parity relative to electric two-wheelers with the point charging option and with conventional gasoline two-wheelers. The results in this working paper show that for all three use cases considered, the electric two-wheelers with point-charging and battery-swapping options are considerably cheaper than the gasoline two-wheeler.
Market analysis of heavy-duty vehicles in India for fiscal years 2019–20 and 2020–21
Market analyses by vehicle segment, weight category, manufacturer, and engine size are needed to optimize vehicle emission standards and testing requirements. In India, these are largely adopted from Euro standards to fit the Indian landscape, and that was the case with the Bharat Stage (BS) VI regulations that took effect April 1, 2020. The heavy-duty vehicle market saw some big technology changes to meet the new standards, and this paper analyzes the first fiscal year (FY) 2020–21 of BS VI vehicle sales and the last year of sales under the previous BS IV standard, FY 2019–20.
Opportunities and pathways to decarbonize China’s transportation sector during the fourteenth Five-Year Plan period and beyond
This study uses cutting-edge emission-modeling tools to assess the potential for reducing climate pollutants, including CO2, using advanced policy packages compared with policies currently in effect for China’s transportation sector. It provides China with a technical foundation for consideration of carbon reduction goals during the 14th Five-Year-Plan (FYP) period (2021–2025) and over the longer term.
Evaluation of real-world fuel consumption of light-duty vehicles in China: A 2021 update
The gap between real-world fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide from light-duty vehicles (LDV), and their laboratory values, is increasingly apparent around the world, including in China. This ICCT briefing shows that the accelerated expansion of the gap clearly indicates the need for regulatory changes to reverse the trend and close the gap.
