sectoral economic costs and benefits of ghg mitigation - IPCC

Transport
• 10% of the autorickshaws will be battery operated from 2001and the share would increase to
17% in 2011,
• 5% of cars will be on CNG from 2001 and its share would increase to 12% in 2011, and
• 3% of taxis will run on CNG from 2001 and its share would increase to 6% in 2011.
Improved technology (IT)
Half of the total travel demand by two-wheelers will have four-stroke engines in 2001 compared
to about 7% today. In 2011, the two-stroke technology will be completely phased out and 100%
of the two-wheelers will have four-stroke engines. Here also government has no clear cut time
bound programme for phasing out of two stroke engines. Recently, government has reportedly
taken a decision not to register 2-stroke vehicles in the National Capital Region w.e.f 1 st April
2000.
Inspection and maintenance (IM)
Periodic inspection and maintenance of in-use vehicles will improve the overall engine efficiency
along with reduction in tailpipe exhaust emissions from 2001. But, in absence of any data on fuel
efficiency improvement across different range of vehicles due to inspection and maintenance, it
is assumed that there would be a fuel saving of about 10%.
