About Clean Air Asia
Clean Air Asia’s mission is to promote better air quality and livable cities by translatingknowledge to policies and actions that reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissionsfrom transport, energy and other sectors.
Clean Air Asia was established as the premier air quality network for Asia the AsianDevelopment Bank, World Bank and USAID in 2001, and operates since 2007 as anindependent non-profit organization.
The Clean Air Asia Center is governed by a Board of Trustees headed by theChairman, Robert O’ Keefe from the Health Effects Institute and Sophie Punte as itsExecutive Director.

Source: Study on traffic and transportation policies and strategies in urban areas In India``
• Travel speeds projected to fall from 26-17 kmph to 8-6 kmph in 2021
• The daily trips in the 87 urban centers are anticipated to double from 2286 to 4819 lakhs by 2021
Background

● All India, SRTUs with 1.3 lakh buses carry almost 7 crore people a day covering 1476 crore effective km
● 85% of the road travels (of a distance less than 300 km) are by bus

Small number of vehicles moving large number of
people!
For example, in a city of over 35 lakh vehicles, BMTC has a fleet of 6200 vehicles and ferries almost 50 lakh
people a day
Buses
8
• Bus as Public Transport is essential for providing mobility and reducing emissions
• The health impact from diesel emissions are an emerging area of concern and since buses moves primarily on diesel, reducing bus emissions is of prime importance
Bus Transport Essential but a Polluter

Average Breakup of Costs

Fuel usually makes up 31% of the total costs
Staff, 40%
Materials, 35%
Interest, 7%
Depreciation, 6%
Taxes, 7%Others, 5%
● Only 5 of the 37 SRTUs made profits in 2011-12. The combined loss was over INR 6500 crores
● Lack for monitoring and evaluation of fleets ● Capacity building of drivers, mechanics,
management etc. ● Large fragmented Private Operators● Deregulation of diesel affecting bottomline● Lack of branding and poor public image

‘World Class’ Janmarg
● Improves Monitoring and Fuel Efficiency● Reduce Air Pollution● Lower Operations Cost● Extends vehicle life through improved
maintenance and driver behaviour● With no black smoke improves brand image of
the fleet/bus corporation as a ‘green’ or ‘eco friendly one’.
Advantages of Clean Fleet Management for Buses (1)
16
● Combined financial savings from fuel and lesser use of spares
● Leads to greater financial flexibility ● Increased ridership, reducing number of
private vehicles on the roads and increasing the bus speed.
● Improved safety as eco-driving has been shown to also improve safer driving

Project Objective
Development of Clean Fleet Management Tool/Model
3 Case studies (KSRTC, SETC, BMTC)
Development of National Framework
Clean Fleet Management Tool
● Developed by UNEP and TNT ● Improves Monitoring● Develops strategies to improve fuel
efficiency● Increases Awareness of Fleet Managers● Evaluates cost – benefit of interventions● Evaluates environmental impact of fleet

Clean Fleet Bus Program
Framework developed based on roundtable discussions, stakeholder consultations with 33 experts of 18 Organizations
Govt Organizations - CIRT, ASRTU, ARAIBus Corporations - BMTC, KSRTC, SETC, DTCAssociations - SIAMManufacturers - Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors, VolvoResearch & NGO -Parisar, ITDP, CiSTUP, Embarq, PCRA, iMACS, CSE, Gubbi Labs
Framework
Systemic Interventions
1 Management Structure Clear VisionDocument, Adopt best practices and monitor impactsCoordinate with MC, Traffic Police, Transport Dept etc
2 Capacity Building Management TrainingStaff training for skill updation
3 Financing for Bus Transport
Innovative ContractsFare revision
4 Branding Buses Develop Communication StrategiesPromoting ‘Bus Day’
Driver & Conductors are brand ambassadors
5 Prioritizing Bus Transport Priority lanesCreation of ‘mini BRT’
TDM to control private vehicles
Framework
Technical Interventions
1 Data Collection & Analysis
Automated Data Collection, analysis software ,Standard proforma for easy collation,
Policy decision based on effective analysis
2 Driver Training Standardized driver training manualsCreation of national level certified institutions
3 Tires & Wheels Switching to radials and nitrogen filling helpfulClose monitoring to understand actual impact
Use of TPM
4 Innovative Design Lighter weight, Use of composite materialAerodynamicsLonger length
5 Emission Reduction Create incentives for emission reductionCleaner fuels, vehicles
Key Recommendations
● Involve Private Operators to create larger impact
● Provide incentives such as training, analysis, technology know how
● Create National Registry of private buses
30
Assuming a 2% increase in fuel efficiency every year with a cap of 5.8 and 4 kmpl for ordinary and
low floor buses, a total of 2200 million liters of diesel can be saved every year for the next 15
years
Key Takeaway
Way Forward: Multi-stakeholder Framework (1)
Policy Makers/ Govt Agencies•MoRTH•MoUD•MoP&NG•City and State Governments•Civic agencies
Manufacturers and OEMs
Bus Corporations(Government and Private)
Development Agencies and Financial Institutions
Research and NGO
Industry Associations
Policy/ Legislation
Analysis/Design
Technology
Monitoring
Way Forward (2)
• Creation of an expert panel on fuel efficiency and emissions among stakeholders
• Pilot projects for demonstrating effectiveness• Scaling up for national level implementation• Short term goals of driver training, reducing
dead km, idling, data collection analysis• Long term goals of infrastructure, technology
improvements
