India wants to switch to electric transport. Scooters with internal combustion engines will be banned?
Source:India can be called a world leader in the use of two-wheeled transport — while in other countries people mostly drive cars, the city in South Asia are crowded with scooters and motorcycles. The authorities are aware that far behind in the segment of the electrification of transport, so for several years trying to persuade manufacturers to move to electric motors. The first attempt was made in 2017, but now the authorities are determined to develop a plan for the electrification of scooters and motorcycles to companies in the entire two weeks.
According to the world Bank, India is home to about 1.3 billion people. Most of them, about 21 million people are the owners of scooters and motorcycles, while cars only 3.3 million drivers. The most popular, oddly enough, is the usual technique with internal combustion engines, but electric scooters and motorcycles people are interested enough in 2018 they were sold only 126 thousand pieces.
Electric motorcycles soon in India
In the development plan for the electrification plays a big role analytical centre of India. Its representatives are advised to put a ban on the use of two-wheeled transport with internal combustion engines of more than 150 cubic cm — if people want more powerful transport, they will be forced to buy a scooter or motorcycle with an electric motor.
Previously, the government also wanted to give incentives and discounts for manufacturers and buyers of environmentally friendly transport and adherents of DVS on the contrary, to levy large tax rates. Also there is the idea to force Uber and similar services to upgrade its vehicles to 40% of them were electric.
the Advantages of electric transport
It is believed that increasing the number of electric vehicles, the country will be able to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere and to get rid of dependence on fossil fuels. However, equipment manufacturers, and put forward counter arguments, warning that the abrupt transition from internal combustion engines and electric motors may lead to the loss of leadership of India in the production of scooters and motorcycles. To avoid this, they need to establish the supply chain to build charging stations and improve the skills of workers. It is logical to assume that it takes a lot of time.
If the ideas are implemented, the number of electric vehicles in India will increase from 1% to 15%. Big companies such as Yamaha and Suzuki is already planning to release in India exclusive range of electric motorcycles. Themselves electric motorcycles already far not a rarity — his version will release even a giant like Harley-Davidson, and read about it right now .
