The report outlines a roadmap that is global in scope, while including only international operations. It describes the effect of fuel price on traffic demand. It compares cumulative CO2 emissions from three scenarios against global carbon budgets that are tied to the three temperature targets. And it suggests intermediate goals to ensure that the aviation sector makes early investments in new emissions-reduction technology to avoid quickly consuming its share of the global carbon budget.

The report observed much of the growth in electrification can be attributed to targets and policy support for electric vehicles, in addition to the rising economic competitiveness, technological advancement and model availability of these vehicles. In 2021, electric car sales totalled 6.6 million worldwide, more than doubling from 2020, while sales of other electric vehicles such as two- and three wheelers and buses also saw significant increases.

The study finds that battery-electric trucks for last-mile delivery can reach TCO parity with their diesel counterparts today in most of the European cities considered in this study with the purchase premiums currently available.

The study analyze how the EU’s newly released “Fit for 55” policies can work in conjunction to generate new revenue streams for SAF and assist in meeting blending targets. It also assess the environmental integrity of overarching regulations and their ability to deliver on economy-wide decarbonization goals.

This report presents a snapshot of commercially available EV battery technologies today as well as the state of R&D in EV battery technologies. It also provides recommendations on how to strengthen industry–academia collaboration to pro mote uptake of these technologies.

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 Real Urban Emissions (TRUE) Initiative analyzed the emissions and related health impacts of diesel truck emissions in New York City. The study uses real-world emissions measurements from the TRUE U.S. database and New York City traffic activity data to model nitrogen oxide (NOx) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions to determine areas of inequitable exposure to air pollution from diesel trucks.

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.

How do electric vehicles stack up against their conventional counterparts in terms of total cost of ownership for consumers? To answer this question, the study consulted the Car Cost Calculator of the German automobile club ADAC, a free online database that contains comprehensive cost data. The database covers all of the more than 8,000 models currently available in Germany. The analysis provides insight into the current cost competitiveness of electric vehicles in the German market. It also spotlight the effectiveness of current incentive measures and how they can be further developed to support the uptake of electric vehicles. The most important insight is that in many instances, electric vehicles are already a cost-competitive alternative.

The work presented in this report helps to understand better the challenges that Latin American cities face in terms of transport decarbonisation and beyond, based on the analysis of the three case study cities of Bogota, Buenos Aires and Mexico City.
