Opportunity of transition towards electric mobility

• Dependence on oil imports: expected to rise by about 29% and also have fiscal impacts.

• GHG emissions: Transport sector contributes to 14% at country level of energy sector GHG emission (71% of total) and 13% to 56% at city level (depending on city)* which is expected to rise.

• Local air pollution: 30%-50% of PM emissions and majority of Nox is by transport sector

• Thus there is a need to explore green fuel vehicles.

E-rickshaw pilot in Udaipur

CapaCITIES

Project duration: March 2017

Intervention Key findings Recommendations

Udaipur E- rickshaw pilot to test viability as a mobility solution18 e-rickshaws deployed.Project intended to demonstrate the workability of e-rickshaws in electrification of IPT system

About 40% of more than 6313 auto and 2600 tempos are 10 years old and contribute to city pollution and emissions.

• Long term, multiyear action plan to phase out existing old and polluting auto-rickshaws.

• Development of electric mobility policy to support action plan.

• Awareness to create a shift towards electric mobility.

• Financial plan to fund e-vehicles.

CapaCITIES


Technical Pre-Feasibility for a Viable Mass Transport System (Naxalbari-Siliguri-haldibari)

• Congestion on all major arterial and sub arterial roads.

• Inadequate infrastructure leading to limiting intra city railway mobility.

• Inadequate parking spaces increases congestion in commercial areas

• Lack of organized public transport systems.

Theme

E-mobility


Development of National E-mobility framework

• Road Transport is considered to be the backbone of transport sector in Sri Lanka

• Absence of other modes of efficient transport in the country .

• Transport sector contributed to 23% of global energy related CO2 emissions and 14% of GHG emissions (2015).

• Electrification of public transport and 3wheeler vehicles prioritised

• RE based charging stations proposed.

• EV manufacturing may be preferred.

Scoping for Pre-BRTS, Thimphu

Asia LEDS Partnership

Intervention Key findings RecommendationsTechnical Pre-Feasibility for a Viable Mass Transport System

• The city has high automobile ownership, uncontrolled parking and underperforming public transport system

• Policy framework travel demand management strategy, public transport improvement/ planning, traffic engineering improvements are discussed as a part of study.

• Public transport should be improved by closed system BRTS development,feeder and increasing the frequency of vehicles.

Intervention Key findings Recommendations and Outcome

E-rickshaw deployment in Kakinada

• Auto rickshaws (2 and 3 stroke engines)were major mode of transport and contribute to pollution.

• City planned to introduce cleaner option of IPT.

• Study to verify the feasibility of e-rickshaw deployment in the city.

• The operational model for E-Rickshaw was developed based on Capex and Opex model.

• Draft E-Rickshaw registration guidelines for Kakinada Municipal Corporation

• An action plan was developed and submitted for review.

• Operational guidelines for e-rickshaw operation was also provided.

Intervention Details Expected outcome

Promoting Low carbon freight for sustainable cities

• .At present about 40% of transport related emission is due to freight transport.

• Freight transport volume: projected to increase by 230% by 2050

• If unchecked, transport CO2 emissions could increase by 60% by 2050.

• Strengthen institutional capacity

• Urban freight emission assessment tool

• Pilot demonstration projects to assist in framing recommendations for national policy

Approach for electric vehicle deploymentCity may choose to adopt an approach from the following depending on the size, route, population and demand of the city.

Big Bang approach Phased transition approach

Pilot based approach

Description • It includes replacing all the old vehicles with electric vehicles.

• It creates a massive change.

• This includes rolling out the old vehicles, gradually introducing electric vehicles.

• This approach may be adopted in cities.

• Includes deployment of vehicles on a pilot basis i.e. in a confined area.

Cost readiness Investment setup required

Investment to be developed overtime

Limited cost required

Policy readiness Policy setup required. Policy can be developed overtime.

No policy required.

Approach (Optional slide)

An example of ICLEI’s Eco-mobility project• Month long presentation of innovative urban transport culture.• organized as a community-based mise-en-scène• Neighborhood is temporarily converted into an ‘ecomobile neighborhood’• Previous Ecomobility World Festival were in Kaohsiung (2017), Johannesburg(2015), and

Suwon (2013)

Ecomobility World

Festival (EMWF)

• Platform through which local and regional government• To share the latest policy and technology developments.• Reduce dependence on fossil fuel based automobiles• Promote sustainable transportation worldwide.• 18 alliance cities.

Ecomobility Alliance

• Combines the main elements which ecomobility alliance offers• It supports its member cities to enhance sustainable mobility, exchange good practices,

provide tools and methodology for training and discussing future visions related to urban mobility.

• Previous ecomobility days includes COP23 in Bonn, Germany (2017) and in Quito (2016),
