This reflects a systems-based understanding of the decarbonisation challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The company further said as per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), sustainable produced biofuels operate \u201cwithin a biogenic carbon cycle and do not introduce new fossil carbon into the atmosphere when assessed on a lifecycle basis\u201d, making the classification of both FFVs and CBG as <a id=\"23696035\" class=\"news-keywords\" href=\"https:\/\/auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/tag\/zero+emission+vehicles\">zero emission vehicles<\/a> scientifically aligned on lifecycle basis. <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/tag\/tata+motors\">Tata Motors<\/a> though has countered the inclusion holding bringing FFV and CBG vehicles under a unified ZEV framework would not be recognised by any major international standard.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ISMA in its letter said, \u201cA diversified technology mix also insulates Insia\u2019s transport sector from geopolitical and supply-chain vulnerabilities, ensuring resilience against potential disruptions in global energy and component markets, while preventing a shift from petroleum import dependence to <a id=\"10926\" class=\"news-keywords\" href=\"https:\/\/auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/tag\/reliance\">reliance<\/a> on imported critical minerals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Toyota said that the <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/tag\/niti+aayog+report\">Niti Aayog report<\/a> has rightfully taken a phased approach to decarbonise the transport sector. The transition strategy should begin with the gradual elimination of legacy vehicles under emission norms of BS IV or older and the adoption of lower emission technologies such as CNG, Hybrids and EVs, with the subsequent phase focusing on the use of biofuels through FFVs, high Bio-CNG blends, hybrid FFV models, along with continued growth in adoption of EVs, it held. <\/p>\n<p><!-- PROMOSLOT -->The final phase would involve full deployment of ZEVs such EVs, hydrogen-based vehicles, FFVs and CBG-based models.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota added the <a id=\"14815971\" class=\"news-keywords\" href=\"https:\/\/auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/tag\/multi-tech\">multi-tech<\/a> roadmap for decarbonistaion is also aligned with current global trends with countries moving away from their BEV only approach. \u201cThe approach also supports logical diversification of vehicle technologies based on application, including BEVs for urban logistics, hybrids for personal and mid-range mobility and hydrogen-based vehicles for long-haul freight\u201d, TKM added.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- Category Most Read Placement --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-author-detail-tag\">\n<div
