  8. Main Features of Engines Used on Indian Two-Wheelers

  9. Main Features, Fuels and Uses of Indian Three-Wheelers

  10. Progression of Indian Emission Standards for 2 & 3-Wheelers All limit values for mass emissions in g/km under Indian Driving Cycle

  11. Known, Potential and Emerging Technologies for 2&3–Wheelers

  12. Expected Time-Line for Evolution of Engine Technologies for 2-Wheelers

  13. Changes in Technology Choice Resulting from Consumer Preferences & Emission Standards The proportions of 2-stroke and 4-stroke have been calculated based on a study of the sales figures of various companies obtained from Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) and from the knowledge of the models produced by manufacturers

  14. Methodology for the Estimation of Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions – 1/2 • (a) Baseline fuel consumption of current technologies is average of “Type Approval Test” results of several models published by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI)*. • ARAI calculates fuel consumption in km/litre using the ‘carbon balance method’ from measured exhaust emission levels under “Indian Driving Cycle” run on a chassis dynamometer • (b) The baseline data for average CO2 emissions (tail pipe only) of each category of vehicle has also been determined from the same source of data * Source: Bhanot B, Kulkarni U.,”Indian Auto Emission Profile”, Symposium on International Vehicle Technology, Automotive Research Association of India, 2001

  15. Methodology for the Estimation of Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions – 2/2 • (c ) The fuel consumption of new Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technologies based on the indications in literature. • (d) All the fuel consumption values converted to MJ/km by using appropriate values of density and Lower Heating Values of the respective fuels. • (e) CO2 emissions of new ICE technologies derived from the fuel consumption by establishing a relationship between fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

  16. Fuel Consumption Trends of Different Categories of 2 & 3-Wheelers Resulting from Various ICE Technologies

  17. Progressive Reduction in Fuel Consumption of 2-Wheelers Resulting from Improved ICE Technologies

  18. Progressive Reduction in CO2 Emission of 2-Wheelers Resulting from Improved ICE Technologies

  21. Methodology for the Estimation of Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions of EV and Hybrid EV • (a) The energy consumption (in MJ/km) of battery operated electric vehicle was considered to be 30% of the energy consumption of the basic ICE. This is based on the reported energy consumption of 0.06 kWh/km of the Bajaj three wheeler(1). • (b) The energy consumption of hybrid electric vehicles has been considered as 85% of that of the EV based on literature for both the hybrid and electric four wheelers (2). • (c) CO2 emission of EV and Hybrid EV based on ratio of the fuel consumption of the hybrid and corresponding basic ICE used in the category of vehicle Sources (1) Berry R.K., Schweitzer Samuel, Basu Tapan, Bedewi Nabih, Vincent Daniel, Dhungana Atulya, “Indian Zero Emission Transportation Program – a driving force for change”, International Symposium on Automotive Electronics and Alternative Energy Vehicles, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, November 2001.

  28. Conclusions 1/2 • There is a rapid increase in the number of motor vehicles in India, the population being dominated by two wheelers, yet, vehicle penetration is among the lowest in the world • Progressively stringent emission standards and customer demand for fuel economy resulted in manufacturers adopting new technologies to reduce emissions and fuel consumption that have also resulted in reduction in CO2 emissions

  29. Conclusions 2/2 • Adoption of more stringent standards for 2&3 wheelers in the coming years is expected to lead to the adoption of newer technologies which are also expected to bring about further reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. • CO2 contribution of the Indian transport sector is estimated to be 15% of the total (1994-95). While the rapidly increasing population of vehicles may lead to an increase in this, the progressively reducing levels of CO2 emissions may have a compensating effect.
