Abstract:

Auto rickshaws play a crucial role in meeting the mobility requirements in Bengaluru city, and if switched to cleaner fuel technology-based solutions, these can contribute to the emission reduction within the city. This paper was developed by TERI and its objective is to estimate the vehicular emissions in the form of CO2, PM10, and NOx emitted by the auto-rickshaws plying in Bengaluru City. The research paper also highlights that the gradual increase in the total number of in-use autos, leads to more consumption of fuel as well as increase in CO2 emissions with the other vehicular emissions.
