The speaker in his lecture mentioned that the due to economic growth in the emerging countries led to rapid urbanization and expansion of existing cities. As a result, major cities in emerging nations experience traffic congestion and deteriorating air quality. One of the solutions to overcome these problems is to develop a comprehensive public transportation system based on clean fuel. To reduce the emission that leads to air pollution an internal combustion engine-driven vehicle must be replaced by an electric vehicle. Dr. Mazumdar also mentioned the use of renewable energy for charging the batteries of EVs instead of using power from coal-based generation units, which further reduces air pollution.
