In short, India stands to gain much more by implementing lower sulphur fuels in tandem with other vehicular emission control measures. In particular, these benefits will stem from adopting a “one country, one fuel, one regulation” policy and reducing fuel sulphur levels to be on par with international best practices. These steps by themselves will have positive impacts on air quality in India, particularly in its most polluted cities. They will also open the door for other emission control technologies and policies to be adopted to further improve air quality and public health.

An International Energy Agency (IEA) supported publication, titled "EV City Casebook: A Look at the Global Electric Vehicle Movement," addresses best practices for electric vehicle usage. The publication provides an overview of the status and outlook for electric vehicles (EV) and assesses existing programmes to enhance the understanding of policy measures to foster the uptake of electric vehicles in urban areas to increase energy security and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

There is no slowdown in dieselisation, finds the latest analysis by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). How then, asks CSE, can the automobile industry claim that diesel cars use negligible amount of the fuel?

The Working Group on Urban Transport for the 12th Five Year Plan has made recommendations on investments and plans on 9 broad themes in urban transport which were identified in line with the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) developed by the Government of India.

This new working paper by ICCT identifies the most effective technologies for CO2, emissions and safety measures and maps the status of regulatory programs for 2- and 3-wheeler management in Asian countries.

The new fuel consumption norms for cars, proposed recently by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), are full of holes, says this review done by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released an updated version of its “Technology Roadmaps - Electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EV/PHEV)” report, which indicates that forecasted manufacturing of electric and hybrid vehicles is behind national targets.
