This study investigates the ability of an e-moped sharing system to substitute passenger car trips, and the resulting economic and environmental effects.

In this paper the authors tried to explain the question of how to maximize the patent holder’s return by appropriate patent license strategy to promote EV cell innovation diffusion, when competition and patent licensing relationship exist in the supply chain.

In the first part of the thesis, the author presented data collected in the city of Bangalore, India from a very commonly seen mode of transportation for hire in India and other emerging economies, namely a three-wheeled vehicle known as the “auto-rickshaw”. From a statistical analysis, it is shown that the typical range is 72.5 km with a mean speed of 12.5 km/h.

In this research, a new Integrated Adaptive Guidance algorithm is developed for a class of Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) that perform suborbital flight. This simple and elegant guidance approach can cater to ascent as well as re-entry phases (from lift off to touch down) of any RLV mission, irrespective of the type of propulsion being employed, rocket or air-breathing.

Uniti aims at providing a smart solution to urban commute, something which is sustainable, fun and in step with the strides made in technology. This involved starting from a clean slate and attacking the very fundamental problem; a two-ton machine meant for carrying four to five people being used by only one person for majority of its lifespan, which makes all the more less sense in an urban environment.

This Knowledge Brief gives an introduction to battery trolleybuses with In Motion Charging, ‘the reinvented trolleybus 2.0’, and provides a specific focus on the infrastructural needs and challenges.

The International Association of Public Transport (UITP) shares the societal concern around the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and its impact on climate change.

This Knowledge Brief outlines the impact of large-scale electrification trends on the sector and the effect on operators’ business models. The change is significant enough to alter funding models and financing tools and a city’s governance structure.

GIZ along with IIT Bombay is organizing the e-launch of the first two reports from the project “Integration of Electric Vehicles Charging Infrastructure with Distribution Grid: Global Review, India’s Gap Analyses and Way Forward”. 

This study is a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the GHG emissions of passenger cars in China, Europe, India, and the United States, four markets that are home to the majority of global new passenger car sales and reflect much of the variety in the global vehicle market.
