Electric buses (e-buses) have caught the attention of the Indian public transport operators due to their ability to address the issues of rising greenhouse gas emissions, and air and noise pollution caused by conventional fuel buses.
Phase II of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) India is envisioned to introduce 7,000 e-buses across the country by 2024.
India has 21 of the 30 cities with the worst air quality in the world.
With the impetus provided by phase I and II of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, many state transport undertakings (STUs) have started deploying electric buses (e-buses) in their fleet.
India has 21 of the 30 cities with the worst air quality in the world.
India, the world’s third-largest GHGs emitter, has its transport sector contributing 10% of total national GHG emissions, with road transportation contributing about 87% of the sector’s total emissions.
Urban air pollution is a complex problem, which requires a multi-pronged approach to understand its dynamics.
According to data from the International Energy Agency (2020) and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (2018), it is estimated that more than 90% of CO2 emissions from the transport sector is from road transport.
The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) has been actively involved in finding solutions to air quality issues across India.
The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) organised a data dissemination and capacity-building event on 29 April 2022 at Shangri-La, Bengaluru, in collaboration with the KSPCB and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
