This report presents the World Bank’s Motorization Management (MM) framework, which is intended to support client countries in the development of policies and measures aimed at managing vehicle stocks in a proactive, phased, and systematic manner to make them safer, cleaner, and more fuel efficient. The MM framework reflects a series of policy considerations and programs that can be implemented to improve the quality of fuels and vehicles in a country’s stock.

Facing increasingly severe climate change, countries and regions worldwide are actively promoting the electrification of the transportation sector and encouraging the use of electric vehicles (EVs) to replace traditional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs).

This paper provides an economical, environmental, and geospatial analysis of a future LiB recycling industry in the UK. Hitherto, state-of-the-art assessment methods have evaluated life cycle impacts and costs but have not considered the geographical layer of the problem.

The webinar focused on the need for an integrated sustainability assessment of EVs incorporating environmental and socio-economic factors.

In this study, the authors quantified and compared the GHG emissions of different powertrain vehicles in a life cycle perspective with a particular focus on energy and climate consequences for current and future integrated scenarios to facilitate carbon reduction assessment for Shanghai.

In this paper, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are the most widely used in the Chinese electric vehicle market, are investigated, and the production, use, and recycling phases of power batteries are specifically analyzed based on life cycle assessment (LCA).

This study conducts a scenario-based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of three different scenarios combining four key parameters: future changes in the charging electricity mix, battery efficiency fade, battery refurbishment, and recycling for their collective importance on the life-cycle environmental performance of a BEV.

To investigate the environmental benefits of end-of-life (EoL) stage for LFP batteries, two EoL management scenarios are considered in this study.

This research investigates carbon footprint impacts for full fleet electrification of Swedish passenger car travel in combination with different charging conditions, including an electric road system (ERS) that enables dynamic on-road charging.

The authors perform a state-specific life-cycle assessment of greenhouse gases (GHG) (CO2eq) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in India for representative passenger vehicles (two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and buses) and technologies (internal combustion engine, battery electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles).
