Introduction Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has emerged as a cleaner and cost-effective alternative to conventional fuels like petrol and diesel. Its use reduces greenhouse gas emissions, lowers particulate matter, and provides an economically viable option for consumers, particularly in urban transport and fleet vehicles. While India has witnessed a rapid adoption of CNG vehicles in…
Introduction The global transportation sector is facing a transformative era as concerns over climate change, urban air pollution, and the finite nature of fossil fuels grow. Conventional fuels like petrol and diesel have dominated vehicle propulsion for over a century, but their adverse environmental and economic impacts have prompted the search for sustainable alternatives. Among…
Introduction The global energy landscape is undergoing a major transformation as countries strive to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, achieve energy security, and promote sustainable transportation. Traditional fossil fuels like petrol and diesel have dominated the mobility sector for over a century, but the negative environmental impacts, fluctuating fuel prices, and rising climate concerns have…
Introduction Urbanization has become one of the most significant global trends of the 21st century. As cities grow in population, infrastructure and governance face immense pressure. To address these challenges, the Smart Cities Mission (SCM) was launched by the Government of India in 2015 with the vision of transforming urban areas into sustainable, inclusive, and…
Introduction The Hyperloop is an advanced transportation concept that envisions high-speed travel in vacuum-sealed tubes using magnetic levitation or air-based propulsion systems. Originally proposed by Elon Musk in 2013, the Hyperloop aims to provide ultra-fast, energy-efficient, and cost-effective travel by reducing air resistance and friction. This futuristic mode of transport has the potential to revolutionize…
Introduction Transport networks are a crucial component of a country’s economic and social development. They facilitate trade, enhance connectivity, and improve access to essential services like healthcare, education, and employment. In India, an extensive transport infrastructure consisting of roads, railways, airways, and waterways plays a significant role in shaping regional development patterns. However, disparities in…
Introduction In the modern era, transportation is undergoing revolutionary changes, with Hyperloop and high-speed rail (HSR) emerging as cutting-edge innovations. These technologies aim to redefine mobility by offering faster, safer, and more efficient modes of transportation. While high-speed rail has been operational in many countries for decades, Hyperloop is a newer concept that promises even…
Introduction India is at a crucial juncture in its journey toward sustainable mobility. With rapid urbanization, rising vehicular pollution, and increasing dependence on fossil fuels, the need for cleaner and more efficient transportation has never been greater. Electric Vehicles (EVs) present a viable solution to these challenges, offering a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional…
