Dr. Bandivadekar’s interests are focused around developing frameworks and methods to foster innovative solutions towards achieving a more sustainable energy and transportation system. At the ICCT, his work is aimed at reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles globally. Previously, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Sloan Automotive Laboratory at MIT, where he evaluated vehicle and fuel technologies that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and petroleum consumption from the U.S. light-duty fleet over the next thirty years. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree from University of Mumbai and a Master of Science Degree from Michigan Technological University as well as a Master of Science in Technology and Policy and a Ph.D. in Engineering Systems from MIT.

Recent Work

  • Mass reduction impacts on EU cost curves

    Working paper

    2013.02.04

    Summarizes impacts of new vehicle mass reduction data on CO2 benefit and cost curves for light-duty vehicles in Europe, 2020–2025, and the effect that regulatory structures which do not fully reward or penalize manufacturers for the influences of changes in vehicle mass might have on overall compliance costs of CO2 standards. Third in a series.

  • Costs and benefits of cleaner fuels and vehicles in India

    Briefing

    2012.12.11

    Investing in ultra-low-sulfur fuel and clean vehicle technologies in India will not come without costs. But the benefits, in terms of reduced healthcare costs and higher productivity, far outweigh them.

  • EU cost curve development methodology

    Working paper

    2012.11.05

    Summarizes the methodology used to develop technology benefit and cost curves for EU light-duty vehicles in 2020–2025.
