Sustainable transportation is a key aspect of reducing global carbon emissions to stem the climate crisis. The avoid, shift, improve, and fuel (ASIF) framework outlines a comprehensive approach to creating more sustainable transport systems. While much attention is given to alternative fuel technologies, particularly electric vehicles (EVs), the efficiency improvement strategy remains one of the least discussed but highly effective levers of sustainable transportation. This strategy, however, often gets overshadowed by the excitement surrounding new fuel technologies.

While experts lauded the thinking of the government, they said implementing such a plan will have several practical challenges, including the methodology to be adopted, the pricing of such credits and the lack of potential buyers. Mr I. V. Rao, Distinguished Fellow, Transport and Urban Governance Division, The Energy and Resources Institute said that the proposed carbon credits policy for EV buyers could act as a boost if seen together other incentives in the scheme.

With transportation responsible for roughly one-third of Co2 emissions in urban settings, the importance of exploring alternative transport options cannot be overstated. EVs have emerged as a viable solution, providing not only a reduction in emissions but also an improvement in air quality, which can help reduce pollution in cities, says Ms Anushree Harde, Research Associate, Transport and Urban Governance Division, TERI.

A TERI study reveals that transitioning to electric vehicles in 44 Indian cities by 2035 could drastically cut pollution. It projects a daily reduction of 11.5 tonnes of PM2.5 emissions and a significant decrease in greenhouse gases. The shift could also save billions on oil imports and generate numerous jobs in the EV and renewable energy sectors.
