The publication reflects the recommendations shared by stakeholders for scaling up the adoption of electric buses in India. The panel discussions explored viable financing pathways for the procurement of e-buses in India.
The transition to electric mobility (E-Mobility) represents a complex and multifaceted challenge for power systems that will require a range of solutions and approaches to address. Much of the literature covering this subject takes the perspective of higher-income countries.
The Twenty-sixth Report of the Committee on Estimates (2022-23) on ‘Evaluation of Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy’ pertaining to the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) was presented to Lok Sabha on 24th March, 2023.
Emissions from fossil fuel-powered motor vehicles adversely affect air quality and contribute to global warming. The manufacture and use of electric vehicles (EVs) is among the ways by which this challenge can be mitigated.
Green technologies – those used to produce goods and services with smaller carbon footprints – are growing and providing increasing economic opportunities but many developing countries could miss them unless national governments and the international community take decisive action.
The largest economies in the world are rapidly transitioning new vehicle sales away from gasoline and diesel internal combustion engine vehicles to battery-powered electric vehicles. This transition is material intensive, requiring the rapid development of new supply chains to build the lithium ion batteries that power electric vehicles.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) on March 14, 2023 published the Draft Central Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Rules, 2023 to further amend the central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.
"The Economics of Electric Vehicles for Passenger Transportation" provides answers to three critical questions: Why should developing countries pursue e-mobility? When does an accelerated transition to electric vehicles (EVs) make sense for developing countries? How can governments make this transition happen?
This paper analyzes the uptake of electric vehicles in Asia and the Pacific and shows how the electrification of transport systems can speed up the transition to a low-carbon future. The paper shows how electric car, bus and motorcycle sales are growing, and highlights the benefits and barriers to greater adoption.
India’s automotive sector is on the brink of something new. On the one hand, sales of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) have been slow to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels.
