This book focuses on clean transport and mobility essential to the modern world. It discusses internal combustion engines (ICEs) and alternatives like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which are growing fast.

This book highlights ways of using gaseous and liquid e-fuels like hydrogen (H₂), methane (CH₄), methanol (CH₃OH), DME (CH₃-O-CH₃), Ammonia (NH₃), synthetic petrol and diesel, etc in existing engines and their effects on tailpipe emissions.

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of mild-hybrid technology and recent developments in 48V mild hybridization of conventional vehicle powertrains. It estimates the CO2 reduction potential, as well as current and future system cost, for different mild-hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) system configurations. It also reviews the market penetration trends and future projections of MHEV technology in Europe.

The emergence of electric mobility has pushed the interest in batteries to the forefront. Batteries are considered as the powerhouse of an electric vehicle (EV).

As India gears up for massive growth in the sector, CIEL HR ventured out to understand some of the key aspects in the talent ecosystem. Which functions are gaining prominence? What is the average tenure of these executives? What are the skills and qualifications that are in demand? Which are the dominant locations? CIEL HR also went on to analyse the job postings data to get a perspective on the hiring environment. As the EV sector continues to evolve, it would be interesting to observe the changing talent dynamics.

The Standards & Labelling program for High-energy Lithium-Ion-based Battery packs & systems prescribes minimum energy performance norms for such battery packs and systems used for propelling Electric vehicles. The program rates performance of High-energy Lithium Ion based Battery packs and systems on parameters like cycle life, specific energy (Wh/kg), and energy efficiency of the battery pack in accordance with IS 12405-4:2018. The program is expected to provide a level playing field in terms of energy performance and quality of these batteries commercially sold in the country.

This book presents the fundamental concepts of electrical and electronic systems used in automotive systems and discusses the various economic and environmental impacts of electric and hybrid electric vehicles

There is still no penalty imposed on manufacturers in India if CO2 emissions limits are exceeded. Based on the analysis presented in this report, the study suggests it would be effective to establish a penalty of ₹2,500/gCO2/km for passenger cars. This will allow the reality that some manufacturers that do not enjoy large economies of scale might have somewhat higher DMC costs, and a penalty of ₹2,500/gCO2/km would mean that using 48V hybrid technologies in vehicles will be cheaper than paying the fine.

Nations around the world are producing plans to achieve net zero by adopting disruptive low-emission and energy-efficient pathways to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. These pathways include electrification of the transport sector and having a higher share of renewable energy (RE) in the energy mix.

This study focuses on EV charging infrastructure, related policy and regulatory measures, grid integration of EVs, and the way forward for smooth EV adaption in the Indian EV ecosystem.
