Fuel consumption from light commercial vehicles in India in fiscal years 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023–24
This paper examines the fleet-average CO2 emissions of light commercial vehicles in India, analyzes the Indian fleet characteristics relative to the European Union, and examines the emissions performance of Indian commercial vehicle manufacturers.
Total cost of ownership parity between battery-electric trucks and diesel trucks in India
This study compares the TCO of internal combustion engine (ICE) diesel trucks and BETs in four segments—the 12-tonne, 16-tonne, 28-tonne and 42-tonne rigid truck—that have accounted for approximately 70% of the Indian truck market in recent years.
Real-driving emissions from Bharat Stage VI (phase 1) passenger cars and a light commercial vehicle in India – PEMS testing
Analyzes the real-driving emissions performance of four BS VI (phase 1) light-duty vehicles in India to explore the effectiveness of various emission control strategies used by manufacturers.
Role of fuel efficiency norms in accelerating sales of electric vehicles in India
This policy brief examines how automotive manufacturing has evolved in India over the last three decades, the impact of India’s current CAFE standards, a case study of emission standards in Europe, and the potential for the next phase of CAFE standards in India to increase BEV sales to 30% of all vehicles.
Costs and CO2 emissions reduction benefits of potential phase 3 fuel consumption standards for India’s passenger vehicles
Evaluates prospective phase 3 fuel consumption standards for the passenger car segment in India by performing cost and efficiency analyses and using the results to generate cost curves that elucidate the incremental direct manufacturing costs.
Integrating refrigerants with low global warming potential into India’s light vehicle fuel efficiency standards
Analyzes potential reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from using alternative refrigerants with low global warming potential and more efficient air conditioning systems in vehicles in India; also estimates the associated costs and considers how regulations could incentivize their use.
The potential of 48V hybrids in India’s light-duty vehicle market
Estimates the direct manufacturing costs and CO2 reduction potential of 48V hybrid systems with different power trains in India and also analyzes the impact of electric motor size.
Mild-hybrid vehicles: A near term technology trend for CO2 emissions reduction
Provides a comprehensive overview of mild-hybrid technology, system cost, CO2 reduction potential, and market trends in 48V mild hybridization of conventional vehicle powertrains
Fuel consumption from light commercial vehicles in India, fiscal years 2019–20 and 2020–21
Examines the implications for CO2 emissions of light commercial vehicle fleet as new BS VI emission standards took effect in India in fiscal year 2020–21.
Fuel consumption from new passenger cars in India: Manufacturers’ performance in fiscal year 2020–21
Examines the fuel consumption of manufacturer groups for passenger vehicles sold in FY 2020–21 and compares the technologies included in best-in-class vehicles in Europe with those in India.
