Decarbonizing India’s road transport: A meta-analysis of road transport emissions models
This paper compares key assumptions, energy use, and CO2 emissions by vehicle and fuel type across eight road transport energy and emissions models for India.
Measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from motor air conditioning in China
This paper discusses how to improve MAC energy efficiency in China and offers policy recommendations for future regulation of GHG emissions from MAC in China.
Two-wheelers in Vietnam: A baseline analysis of fleet characteristics and fuel consumption in 2019 and 2020
In this paper by ICCT, the authors developed a database of the two-wheeler fleet sold in 2019 and 2020 and then analyzed vehicle characteristics and fuel consumption by two-wheeler type and by manufacturer.
Overview of Asian and Asia-Pacific passenger vehicle taxation policies and their potential to drive low-emission vehicle purchases
This paper by ICCT focuses on national-level taxation and subsidy policies for passenger vehicles across 18 Asian and Asia-Pacific countries and compares the consumer ownership costs of a gasoline, a hybrid electric, and a battery electric vehicle in these countries over a 6-year ownership period.
Fuel consumption from light commercial vehicles in India, fiscal years 2019–20 and 2020–21
This paper is a continuation of the series of working papers on the Indian LCV market, dating back to 2016. it focuses on the N1 (load-carrying LCVs) category of vehicles, which consists of mini trucks and pickups. It includes a brief comparison with the performance of the M1 (passenger cars) category of vehicles
Market analysis of the new two-wheeler fleet in India for fiscal year 2020–21
This study analyzes fleet characteristics and compares the vehicle characteristics of major manufacturers and classes of new two-wheelers sold in India for the fiscal year 2020-2021.
Cost comparison of battery swapping, point charging, and ICE two-wheelers in India
Battery swapping is an innovative electric vehicle refueling model that can be used by vehicles with a detachable battery. This paper evaluates if electric two-wheelers in India with the battery-swapping option have achieved cost parity relative to electric two-wheelers with the point charging option and with conventional gasoline two-wheelers. The results in this working paper show that for all three use cases considered, the electric two-wheelers with point-charging and battery-swapping options are considerably cheaper than the gasoline two-wheeler.
Market analysis of heavy-duty vehicles in India for fiscal years 2019–20 and 2020–21
Market analyses by vehicle segment, weight category, manufacturer, and engine size are needed to optimize vehicle emission standards and testing requirements. In India, these are largely adopted from Euro standards to fit the Indian landscape, and that was the case with the Bharat Stage (BS) VI regulations that took effect April 1, 2020. The heavy-duty vehicle market saw some big technology changes to meet the new standards, and this paper analyzes the first fiscal year (FY) 2020–21 of BS VI vehicle sales and the last year of sales under the previous BS IV standard, FY 2019–20.
Opportunities and pathways to decarbonize China’s transportation sector during the fourteenth Five-Year Plan period and beyond
This study uses cutting-edge emission-modeling tools to assess the potential for reducing climate pollutants, including CO2, using advanced policy packages compared with policies currently in effect for China’s transportation sector. It provides China with a technical foundation for consideration of carbon reduction goals during the 14th Five-Year-Plan (FYP) period (2021–2025) and over the longer term.
Evaluation of real-world fuel consumption of light-duty vehicles in China: A 2021 update
The gap between real-world fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide from light-duty vehicles (LDV), and their laboratory values, is increasingly apparent around the world, including in China. This ICCT briefing shows that the accelerated expansion of the gap clearly indicates the need for regulatory changes to reverse the trend and close the gap.
Fuel consumption from new passenger cars in India: Manufacturers’ performance in fiscal year 2019–20
New fuel consumption limits for passenger vehicles are scheduled to take effect in India in FY 2022–23, and this paper examines the performance of manufacturer groups with respect to new passenger vehicles sold in FY 2019–20.
The Evolution of Commercial Vehicles in China: A Retrospective Evaluation of Fuel Consumption Standards and Recommendations for the Future
Although China is currently developing the fourth stage of its fuel consumption standards for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), an independent, ex-post assessment of the previous stages does not exist. By providing a quantitative appraisal of the effect achieved by previous stages of the standards, this study closes that knowledge gap.
