- Webinar & E-Learning 6 July 2018 Efficient Mobility: Electrification in Maritime Transportation (Webinar) - 24.07.2018 Among the various transport modes, shipping is one of the most efficient cargo transport. Yet, the significant growth of seaborne trade increased the energy consumption of shipping, despite of the improvement in the energy efficiency of shipping engines. According to the International Maritime Association, global fuel shipping consumption increased from 291 to 298 million tonnes (+2.4%) from 2013 to 2015. Thus, the global shipping emissions amplified quantitatively. Check our webinar to know…

- News 4 June 2018 Transport Summit DTU: Where are the Indian EVs? Globally many countries are moving towards more electric vehicles (EVs) on the streets and worldwide the share of EVs has increased to more than 1%. In India, the government has also prioritised EVs in their nationally determined contribution (NDC). There is a favourable national climate when it comes to EVs, and the national government is pushing for electrification of transport. A lot of incentives are being provided to bring down the initial purchase costs. Usually this should translate into…
