This document provides a summary of the recommendations for regulatory and data governance frameworks to support the development of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in the Brussels-Capital Region.

he ACMA–YES BANK report examines the evolving electric vehicle (EV) landscape in India and its implications for the auto component industry.

The need for investment into zero-emission greenhouse gas (GHG) technologies is apparent. McKinsey estimates that €28 trillion of investments will be required to reach net-zero by 2050 in the 27 European Union members alone, compared with no climate action.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are making up an increasing share of sales in key markets around the world, becoming ever more central to automakers’ business models. With this shift, incumbent OEMs and new EV players alike are searching for profitable EV business models and a sustained competitive advantage, since mass-market EV profitability is still a challenge.

The study highlights the status quo of policies influencing and framing the electrification and provides recommendations for municipalities in Poland and Germany on how to effectively support the electrification of urban mobility. As such, the study supports the discussions of the Polish-German Platform on Electromobility, where both countries jointly work toward their shared ambition of driving necessary change.

UITP and other associations are publishing a new joint statement on the upcoming Urban Mobility Framework. In the joint statement, a broad coalition of transport stakeholders stress that public transport and active mobility must be the foundation on which to build the change we need in our urban mobility systems.

Some studies are already available on how the climate policy transformation affects employment in the automotive world of work. However, their focus is quite narrow, mostly only the employment effects of electromobility are considered.

This publication presents a summary of the workshop “Life cycle assessment methods to support India’s efforts to decarbonise transport” organised by the International Transport Forum and the National Institute for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) in April 2021.

Resources such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, aluminium, tin, manganese and copper are used, for instance, to produce lithium-ion batteries that power electric mobility. The extraction of these resources brings with it a number of social and environmental risks

Vehicle numbers and freight transport are growing rapidly in India leading to an exponential rise in fuel consumption.
