Life-cycle Assessment of Passenger Transport: An Indian Case Study launch event
ITF Meeting
10:30-11:45 CEST | 14:00-15:15 IST
This study is the first comprehensive, India-specific analysis of urban passenger transport emissions using a life-cycle perspective. The life-cycle assessment (LCA) approach offers insights into how policy choices affect greenhouse gas emissions throughout vehicle and infrastructure development and use. The study uses the ITF Transport Life-cycle Assessment Tool for India to show that Indian cities must prioritise measures that shift private vehicle users to public transport. In addition, a transition to electric buses – preferably powered by 100% renewable energy – is needed. The report highlights the critical importance of analysing and understanding emissions levels through all life cycle stages of transport services when taking public policy and investment decisions.
