Hybrid vehicles practical solution for decarbonisation drive: Report

Hybrid vehicles are a practical medium-term solution for India's decarbonisation drive as the country moves towards eventual electrification, according to a report by HSBC Global Research. Under the current circumstances, the total carbon emissions (well to wheel) from hybrid cars is lesser than that of electric vehicles (EVs) and it may take 7-10 years for EV and hybrid emissions to converge. "Hybrids are critical not just from a cost of ownership perspective, but also for India's de-carbonisation drive," the report said. Hybrids are much less polluting than EVs, it said, adding that the "total carbon emissions i.e. Well to Wheel (WTW) from an EV is currently 158 g/km vs 201 g/km for diesel, 176g/km for petrol, and 133 g/km for hybrid". This means that hybrids are 34 per cent, 25 per cent, and 16 per cent less polluting than diesel, petrol, and a proportionate EV, respectively, it added. Total emissions include both vehicle emissions -- tank to wheel (TTW) and crude mining/refini

Hybrid cars optimal solution to scale electrification of vehicles: Toyota

Japanese auto major Toyota on Thursday said hybrid cars will be an "optimal solution" to build scale for increased use of electrified vehicles in India, according to a senior executive. In a virtual press briefing with global media prior to Japan Mobility Show, Toyota Daihatsu Engineering and Manufacturing Co Executive Vice President Pras Ganesh said multiple green technologies were required to cater to varying needs of different regions in a vast country like India. "The hybrid electric vehicle we think is maybe an optimal solution to begin scale in terms of electrification..around 40 per cent of the distance and around 60 per cent of the time on a hybrid electric vehicle based on Indian statistical testing, is actually on zero emission," he noted. It's a very good solution without the need for any additional infrastructure, Ganesh said. He noted that looking at the size of the country, multiple solutions were required when it came to offering electrified vehicles. "Even if you t
