This policy brief by the International Transport Forum (ITF) highlights the most effective way to decarbonise urban passenger transport with the integration of Shared vehicles, powered by clean electricity, with existing public transport.

This report summarizes best practices for these in-use control programs, and is intended to serve as guidelines for policymakers seeking to design, implement, and improve their programs at the local level.

A recent research paper released by TERI estimates and describes the status of tail pipe emissions in the form of carbon dioxide, particulate matter 10 (PM10) and nitrogen oxide emitted by two-stroke and four-stroke autos plying in Bengaluru.

This article provides exclusive opinions and insight from automotive industry stakeholders involved in developing mobility solutions for the Indian market. The major automakers in the country see electric vehicles and connectivity as the way forward.

The study is a follow-up to the PwC study into Tax barriers for Smart Charging (2017), commissioned by stichting ElaadNL. This study has been broadened with an overview of other institutional bottlenecks that impede the development of Smart Charging.

Countries around the world are waking up to the potential of e-mobility. The International Energy Agency cites that by 2020 up to 20 million electric vehicles will ply the road, a number that is expected to go up to 70 million by 2025. India has a lot to gain from the widespread adoption of e-mobility.

This work investigated several ways to forecast with the available charging rate data from the current PEV charging stations in the Netherlands. To enable better smart charging solutions, this paper investigates the day-ahead probabilistic forecasting of the availability and the charging rate at charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles

This webinar by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) on the theme ‘Green Finance for Enhancing India’s Climate Ambition’ was designed to focus on how broader economic and social development concerns can be addressed in green investments, the role of financial mechanisms and instruments in catalysing much needed private capital for green finance and how India can transition to a resilient, ‘greener’ financial system incorporating global standards on disclosures and risk management.

Pure electric vehicles (BEV) currently make up 66 percent of the global EV market. BEV sales are growing faster than those of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV). The Chinese market expanded by 72 percent over the previous year in 2017.

On January 1, 2017, China implemented an updated subsidy program for battery electric vehicles (BEVs); plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), including extended-range vehicles; and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs)—together commonly called new energy vehicles (NEVs). A jointly issued policy update on December 29, 2016, by China’s Ministry of Finance (MOF), Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), and National Development and Reform Commission detailed the updated program design and adjusted subsidy amounts. The current policy, which will be valid through 2020 (called 2017–2020 Policy Adjustment hereafter), represents the sixth adjustment to the original policy introduced in 2009. The 2017–2020 Policy Adjustment details subsidies for manufacturers rather than end-users and features the phase down of a national subsidy, tightened vehicle qualification requirements, improved incentive design, and robust anti-fraud and enforcement measures. Details of the new policy and a comparison with other markets are also included in this document.
