Electric Vehicle-Attributed Environmental Injustice: Pollutant Transfer Into Regions With Poor Traffic Accessibility
2021
Author(s): Bai B, Wang Y, Xiong S, Ma X
In this paper, the transfer of EV-attributed PM2.5, SO2, and NOx inhalations in China are studied. Then by comparing the inhalations versus traffic accessibility among the impacted municipalities, this study sheds light on the environmental injustice lying in the mismatch between pollutant inhalations and traffic accessibility.

Emerging E-Bus Charging Technologies: Opportunities And Challenges
2020
Author(s): Aswathy K P
Electric bus (e-bus) technology hit the Indian market in recent years as a solution to the environmental concerns posed by conventional fuel buses.

Under phase II of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) India policy, it has been envisioned to introduce 7,000 e-buses across the country by 2025.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are all set to play a critical role in India’s transition to a green economy. However, there are speed bumps along the road, especially with regard to manufacturing.

Nearly 4 million commercial vehicles in India are expected to ride into the sunset soon. The much awaited vehicle scrappage policy, expected to be notified shortly by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), aims to scrap older commercial (more than 15 years) and private vehicles (more than 20 years).
