Green Freight India: Phase 1

Objective of this phase:

Developing the methodology, by making modifications to the Green Trucks Toolkit (UNEP TNT toolkit) as per Indian needs and new target users

Phase (1): Methodology Development

Source: GFI, 2013

I. Development of Methodology/Toolkit to calculate CO2 emissions by freight operations :

a. To be based on sound understanding of the Indian road conditions, vehicles and key behavioral traits of Indian truck drivers.

b. Creation of a toolkit based on existing best practices and internationally adopted standards c. To be able to suggest how the identified thematic areas (based upon market research on available methodology) will impact the overall GHG emission and fuel usage.

Philosophy of the tool Define the current status of your fleet (baseline)

Analyze the baseline

Define the scenarios that you can do in order to increase efficiency and lower emissions

Analyze the scenarios and pick out strategies that suit you

II. Pilot testing and finalization of the developed methodology

a. Partnering with corporate organizations to test the methodology on few

trucks with the organization b. Industry partners to be consulted before procuring the technology for

pilot testing c. Support provided by GIZ, EBTC and Clean Air Asia during testing phase d. Based on the results, update the methodology and finalize it

Phase (2): Draft Methodology Stakeholder Consultation Workshop, 15th October 2014

Draft toolkit presented to the

stakeholders

Positive Feedback received on various

elements within the toolkit

The usability of the tool and the

objective of the entire initiative well

appreciated

Unanimous call for formation of

‘Green Freight India working group’

Phase (3): Preparing a Case Study and Dissemination Phase

II. Dissemination of the finalized methodology

a. Translate findings and recommendation from Phase 3 into a case study

b. Disseminate/Share these findings with stakeholders

Steps of Initial Phase (3): Monthly Freight and Logistic Newsletter
