India has committed to reduce the carbon emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. Reducing heavy-duty truck emissions, which are a large and growing source of overall transport emissions, will be essential to meeting these goals.
This paper explores the pivotal role of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales regulations in enhancing the adoption of electric two-wheelers in India, highlighting the gap between current gasoline vehicle dominance and the ambitious electric vehicle targets set by the government.
In the global market, the sales of light-duty EVs reached around 6 million in the first half of 2023 (2023 H1), representing nearly 14% of new LDVs sold worldwide.
The briefing paper discusses the readiness of public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the state of Haryana, India. As India aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2070, various states have formulated EV policies to promote EV adoption.
This study shows that a combination of additional strategies in the “All Out” scenario could further reduce emissions in line with a well-below 2°C pathway with the same parameters.
This paper updates a 2022 ICCT study on the vehicle carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions impact of an accelerated global transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs).
In November 2022, the European Commission released its proposed Euro 7 regulation for light-and heavy-duty vehicles, which limits the level of pollutants detrimental to human health, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).
This study identifies and discusses legal pathways for implementing low-emission zones (LEZs) and zero-emission zones (ZEZs) in India at the national, state, and city levels.
