The Economic Times Smart Mobility Summit 2018

OVERVIEW

One of the pillars of economic development for any country, the TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, is critical to the national infrastructure. However, it has been a major cause of greenhouse gases and efforts are ongoing to reduce the carbon footprint to address environmental issues and decrease their dependence on fossil fuels. India is still following BS IV as against EURO 6 implemented in European countries, which is equivalent to BS VI.

THE WAY FORWARD FOR SMART MOBILITY IN INDIA

There are three key stakeholders that play an integral role in India’s transition towards carbon free smart mobility apart from the end consumer.

Government

By defining the regulations on emissions and fuel efficiency, clarifying aspirations, strategic intent and direction, exploring incentives and subsidies, it can support EV and alternate fuel adoption, thereby focusing on developing a supportive ecosystem for the future smart cities of India.

Power, Fuel and Charging Infrastructure Companies

By laying down a foundation of support, innovating on business models (e.g., retrofitting existing vehicles to work of NGV, deploying fast charging stations, etc.), making the economics of (fast) charging infrastructure work, providing options for end-users to choose cleaner fuels, they can enable easy and rapid adoption of this change.

Automotive Industry

By changing the product and component mix, bringing EV and NGV components and vehicles to life, building the right talent pool and skill set, improving the performance of vehicles and building scale, the industry can drive the Smart Mobility disruption in India.

MARKET TRENDS

The government of India has an ambitious aim of becoming 100% electric vehicle nation by 2030, and the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles) program is a step towards achieving the goal

"We think India is going to be a fantastic market for mobility services for a number of reasons. The first reason being that the government is initiating a number of programs to allow cities to experiment with new mobility options," Rajendra Rao,, CEO, Ford Smart Mobility (FSM)

Suzuki along with Toshiba and Denso announced an investment of INR 1,151 crore in setting up a lithium ion battery plant in Gujarat

Mahindra and Ford Motor Company have joined hands for three years and have a strong focus towards developing electric cars for Indian market

The alternative fuel and hybrid vehicle market is expected to reach US$ 614 billion by 2022
