Decarbonizing India’s road transport: a meta-analysis of road transport emissions models

2022

Author(s): Kumar M, Shao Z, Braun C, Bandivadekar A

The authors suggest that India set a target of lowering emissions from road transport that is at least 25%–50% below the 2020 level by 2050. Additionally, India should prioritize vehicle electrification, electricity grid decarbonization, and stringent fuel efficiency standards, as results from all models and post-COVID-19 analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of these strategies in reducing petroleum reliance and CO2 emissions.

An Assessment of the European Regulation on Battery Recycling for Electric Vehicles

2022

Author(s): Hoarau Q, Lorang E

This article examines the design of a recent regulatory proposal in Europe that promotes the growth of a battery recycling business. Although electric mobility is thought to be necessary to reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation sector, the industrial and environmental impacts of lithium-ion battery manufacturing are controversial.

Annual Update on the Global Transition to Electric Vehicles: 2021

2022

Author(s): Cui H, Hall D

This briefing assesses the annual progress on the global transition to electric vehicles (EVs) at the global, regional, and national levels. Global EV sales reached a record-high of 6.9 million in 2021, a 107% increase from 2020. It is the first time since 2012 that the global EV sales doubled in one year. Of the vehicles sold, 98% were light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and 2% were heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs). By the end of 2021, cumulative global sales of EVs reached 18.6 million, a 58% increase from end of 2020. Of these vehicles, 95% were LDVs while HDVs accounted for 5%. In 2021, the global average EV share of new vehicle sales achieved an all-time high of 8.3%, up from 4.2% in 2020.
