In a recent report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) sheds light on the pivotal role of policies in steering the decarbonisation of road transport within emerging economies. The report identifies three key policy categories - regulation, incentives, and informational measures - that have already begun to shape the transition towards sustainable mobility. Read More
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a pivotal step in the global effort to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, this transition comes with its own set of challenges, particularly concerning the capacity of our power grids to handle the increased demand for electricity, especially from renewable sources. To address this challenge and fully harness the potential of EVs in decarbonizing mobility, we must embrace the concept of smart electrification. Read More
A recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights the critical role of road transport in India's ambitious clean energy transition. As India's economy continues to surge and its population grows, the expansion of road transport has the potential to drive socio-economic development. However, the country has been grappling with significant environmental challenges, including escalating CO2 emissions and air pollutants from road transport. Read More
