• Project 30 September 2018 Electric Mobility Electric mobility is seen by many developing countries as a way of reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and at the same time reducing local pollution and CO2 emissionsElectric vehicles (EVs) are seen as a promising technology option by several countries for reducing air pollution in cities, improving energy security and creating green jobs. EVs are also recognised as a serious option for mitigation of CO2 emissions from the transport sector and the integration of renewable energy in…
• Project 30 September 2018 Promoting Low-carbon Transport in India The outputs of the project include roadmaps developed with local stakeholders, Low-Carbon Mobility Plans for three cities, and a Network for Information Sharing and Co-ordinationThis project contributed to efforts by the Indian Government to transition towards low-carbon transport systems. India is currently the fourth largest GHG emitter in the world, with its transport sector being the second largest contributor of CO2 emissions. The project recognized the need to reduce transport emissions…
• 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…
• Webinar & E-Learning 9 April 2018 Eficiencia Energética en la Movilidad en América Latina (Webinar) - 17.04.2018 La movilidad en los municipios es mucho más que el universo del transporte público de pasajeros tradicional. Hoyen día las soluciones de vehículos compartidos y las más modernas estrategias de logística urbana se están implantando en las ciudades. Los municipios tienen las mejores condiciones para proporcionar nuevas y más eficientes opciones de movilidad en el contexto urbano, reduciendo emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y mejorando la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos. Este Webinar…
• News 27 December 2017 Unlocking India's potential for electrification of transport There is a favourable national climate when it comes to electric vehicles in India, and the national government is pushing for electrification of transport. Usually this should translate into lots of electric cars on the streets, but in India that is not the case. UNEP DTU undertook a survey in Hyderabad, a major Indian city, to understand this phenomenon. The analysis reveals that the key barriers faced by electric vehicles in India are a lack of awareness of national policies and programmes…
• News 28 August 2017 Reducing emissions by shifting to 100 million EVs by 2030 In order to achieve very low CO2 emissions by 2050, transportation will need to shift strongly away from fossil fuels. For light-duty vehicles, the most obvious pathway now is toward electric vehicles. With over 2 million of such vehicles on the world’s roads today, this pathway is taking shape and appears promising. However, there will be 2 billion light-duty vehicles on the world’s roads by 2050, so the road is long and will be challenging. By 2030, the UN and others have called for at least…
