Analysing the Role of Government Regulations & Intervention in E-Rickshaw Industry of Delhi
International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-2, Issue-12, Dec.-2016 ANALYSING THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS & INTERVENTION IN E-RICKSHAW INDUSTRY OF DELHI 1RITU KHANNA, 2SHIKHA SINGH, 3RAMAN ARORA, 4HARSHIEL CHAHAL, 5ALEENA KHAN, 6ARUSHI GUPTA, 7MUSKAN GUPTA, 8TALAT KHANAM 1,2,3Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi 4,5,6,7,8Department of Economics, Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi Abstract— In an era where urban mobility plays a vital role in the economic growth, e-rickshaws have emerged as a promising mode of transport in Delhi. With zero emissions, high accessibility and low operational costs, they provided a shot in the arm to Delhi’s landscape within the first few years of their introduction. However, a policy failure and lack of state involvement in the industry failed to exploit it to its optimum best. These unregistered vehicles operated by unlicensed drivers sprouted within a legal ambiguity until the incidents of negligent driving reached an intolerable high. Hence, this study is an attempt to analyse the role of effective governance in the e-rickshaw industry of Delhi conducted against the backdrop of a dearth of existing literature and reliable data on e-rickshaws. It is based on findings of a primary research survey of 220 e-rickshaw drivers in Delhi and an intensive review of the concerned legislations. In a time span of five years, a multitude of institutions worked in isolation to form policies to regulate these battery operated vehicles but no substantive gains were made until the Motor Vehicles Act (Amendment) 2015. -

There will be socio-economic co-benefits associated with reduced dependence on oil imports, cleaner air in cities, and lower running costs, negating the need for energy subsidies. This report identifies that the most suitable low-carbon alternative is the introduction of electric vehicles. Pathways to deliver electrification in Africa and South Asia are discussed and the impacts on the power network are considered. -
HEGGEMANN Helps with Series Start-Up the Aerospace Technology
press release / Airport PAD / Büren-Ahden 12/04/2019 HEGGEMANN helps with series start-up The aerospace technology specialist at Paderborn/Lippstadt Airport is taking on a major order from Vietnam. The excavators have already arrived to move many cubic meters of earth on HEGGEMANN AG's new expansion site. In its core business, the specialist from Büren focuses on the development and implementation of highly complex metal assemblies for the aviation industry. For example, complete landing gear systems are developed, tested and transferred to series production, or complex welded assemblies made of special materials such as titanium are produced for aircraft engines. In addition to the aviation sector, the automotive industry has traditionally used the vertical integration of the lightweight construction specialist for selected series projects for more than 30 years. Very quickly, in the fourth quarter of 2018, HEGGEMANN AG received a major order from the new Vietnamese automotive group VinFast, which emerged from VinGroup, a globally active multi-group. In a first step, VinFast manufactures two models under license, which are based on the technology of the last BMW 5 Series and BMW X5 Series. More than half of VinFast's suppliers come from Germany. In connection with HEGGEMANN AG, the list with names such as ABB, Bosch, Dürr, Siemens, ThyssenKrupp and ZF reads impressively. HEGGEMANN was selected because of its reliable customer relationships within the automotive industry to ensure the start-up of the complex front and rear axle production. In order to implement this ambitious project, HEGGEMANN is expanding its production areas directly at the site where the series production plant will be put into operation. -

Electric Rickshaw Charging Stations As Distributed Energy Storages for Integrating Intermittent Renewable Energy Sources: a Case of Bangladesh
energies Article Electric Rickshaw Charging Stations as Distributed Energy Storages for Integrating Intermittent Renewable Energy Sources: A Case of Bangladesh A.S.M. Mominul Hasan Department of Energy and Environmental Management, Europa-Universitaet Flensburg, 24943 Flensburg, Germany; mominul.hasan@uni-flensburg.de; Tel.: +49-461-805-2555 Received: 30 October 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 22 November 2020 Abstract: This exploratory research outlines an opportunity for increasing renewable energy share in Bangladesh by using electric rickshaws (e-rickshaws) as a catalyst. The overall objective of this research is to show how to utilise an existing opportunity, such as e-rickshaws, as energy storage options for integrating renewable energy sources. It proposes a grid-connected local energy system considering a battery swapping and charging station (BSCS) for e-rickshaws as a community battery energy storage (CBESS). This system was simulated using the HOMER Pro software. The simulation results show that such systems can help communities significantly reduce their dependency on the national grid by integrating solar PV locally. The proposed BSCS also shows an opportunity for battery demand reduction and circular battery management for electric rickshaws. The research also discusses the economies of scale of the proposed method in Bangladesh, and pathways for implementing microgrids and smart energy systems. The innovative concepts presented in this research will start a policy-level dialogue in Bangladesh for utilising local opportunities to find an alternative energy storage solution and provide momentum to the researchers for further studies.
