From Fuel to Future: India’s adoption towards Zero Emission Vehicles

About this event

Did you know that the road transport sector contributes over 20% of global CO₂ emissions? In India, transitioning to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) presents a major opportunity to reduce both greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution. Many major economies have already set regulations to achieve 100% ZEV or electric vehicle (EV) sales for new cars and vans by 2035. But what does this transition look like for India?

The ICCT’s latest study, “Vision 2050,” provides an updated global assessment of ZEV policies and market trends, analyzing their impact on EV sales, road transport energy consumption, and emissions through 2050. Accelerating ZEV adoption is the most promising strategy to cut CO₂ emissions from road transport and help meet the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global warming well below 2°C.

India’s ZEV adoption in the last year

In the last year from 2023 to 2024, the number of EVs sold in India increased by 27%. Three-wheelers are leading this transition, with a 57% EV adoption rate, and two-wheelers dominate the sales by the numbers, accounting for 59% of total EVs sold.

In partnership with ET Auto, this webinar will discuss how India and other countries are accelerating the transition to ZEVs, highlighting key successes and opportunities. Based on insights from the ICCT’s “Vision 2050” study, we will discuss how supply-side regulations (SSRs) and fiscal incentives have accelerated ZEV adoption across diverse vehicle markets. We will also examine how India could integrate international best practices to accelerate domestic EV uptake with key policies like fuel economy standards and EV fiscal incentives.

Join us to gain valuable insights on how India can drive towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.
