The shift from carburetor expertise to gas injection that has include the implementation of India’s Bharat Stage VI emission requirements supplies the premise from which to think about different incremental applied sciences for gas effectivity enchancment within the two-wheeler phase, which at present consumes extra gasoline than all different types of on-road transport mixed. There are various applied sciences accessible that may obtain this, and to advertise widespread adoption of them, India must undertake a gas consumption/CO2 customary for two-wheelers.
To establish reasonable gas consumption targets for small bikes, massive bikes, and scooters, and for the two-wheeler fleet total, this paper evaluates the cost-effectiveness and the payback interval of various inner combustion engine (ICE) automobile applied sciences. A wide range of ICE expertise packages had been designed, with growing numbers of gas effectivity applied sciences, for every of the three segments. The authors additionally embrace an electrical two-wheeler (E2W) with a variety of 100 kilometers (km) for a small bike and 75 km for a scooter as one of many expertise packages for every of these segments.
Whereas a transition to electrical two-wheelers appears inevitable, outcomes present there are alternatives within the interim to acquire higher effectivity from ICE pathways. Even essentially the most fuel-efficient phase of the two-wheeler fleet, small bikes, has the potential to additional scale back gas consumption as much as 42% utilizing ICE applied sciences alone. The evaluation of producer prices, detailed within the desk beneath, additional exhibits {that a} mandated fleet common degree of 25.3 grams (g) of CO2/km for the two-wheeler fleet will be anticipated to drive 32% E2W penetration within the new two-wheeler fleet by 2025. Setting a fleet common goal of 20.5 gCO2/km in 2030 may obtain gas consumption reductions of fifty% within the two-wheeler fleet and an economical penetration of 62% E2Ws. Adoption of stringent gas consumption requirements will give a clearer sign to automobile producers when it comes to how for much longer to take advantage of the ICE pathway and allow fast transition to electrification.
