Abstract
This study considers possible annual petroleum saving and greenhouse gas emission reductions in India from the two-wheeler segment in the next decade. A survey was conducted in Coimbatore, India to estimate the average daily kilometers travelled and the distribution of travel ranges by “two-wheelers”. Forecasting suggest that a 37% reduction in carbon dioxide could be made by replacing all internal combustion engined two-wheelers with plug-in, hybrid electric technology with an all-electric range of 25 km, and a 48% reduction with hybrid electric two-wheelers. Since around 76% of kilometers by two-wheelers is less than 25 km per day, electric vehicles could displace a large portion of gasoline.
