Today’s battery electric vehicles are associated with far fewer greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) than internal combustion engine vehicles over their lifetimes.
Phasing out old vehicles is necessary, but real change lies in electrification
While the recent directive by the Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas to restrict older vehicles is a good starting point supported by legal precedent, long-term progress depends on real-world emissions monitoring and policy shifts, such as zero-emission vehicle sales requirements, to accelerate Delhi NCR’s clean transport transition.
Why India’s e-truck incentive scheme can be a gamechanger for the economy and the environment
For the first time, the PM E-DRIVE scheme has allocated ₹500 crore for electric trucks, and this is a critical push to decarbonize India’s freight sector.

A revenue- and technology-neutral manufacturing incentive program in California could encourage cleaner internal combustion engine vehicle sales while providing the largest incentives for zero-emission vehicles.
Cruise the seas or cruise down the road? A fresh look at vacation emissions
A two person, weeklong road trip would result in less than one-third of the life-cycle GHG emissions of a weeklong cruise, including hotel stays and flights.
Two recent successes with “social leasing” programs for zero-emission vehicles
Examines the implementation of two targeted leasing initatives for zero-emission vehicles, one in France and the other in Washington State.
Where are India’s electric tractors?
A growing body of evidence that e-tractors can meet farming requirements and reduce costs would support consumer confidence and increased sales.
Cuantificación de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero evitadas por autobuses eléctricos en Colombia
Este blog presenta un análisis de los beneficios climáticos que trae la transición hacia estos autobuses, compara las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero generadas por autobuses eléctricos, de gas natural y de diésel a lo largo de su vida útil, y calcula cuántas emisiones podrían evitarse con una adopción de autobuses eléctricos.
Flexibility or uncertainty? Risks of the proposed changes to the UK Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate
The UK’s updated ZEV mandate keeps long-term targets but adds flexibilities that could undermine short-term certainty and investment.
