Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities
Transforming Transportation 2011Washington, D.C.,
The Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities promotes better air quality and livable cities by translating knowledge to policies and actions that reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in transport, energy and other sectors
About the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities
2
CAI-Asia began in 2001 as a multi-stakeholder initiative by ADB, World Bank and USAID
Since 2007, CAI-Asia is a UN Type-II Partnership with almost 200 organizational members, 8 Country Networks, and the CAI-Asia Center as its secretariat
• Background – Vehicle and freight trend– Environment and Social concerns
• Barriers and challenges in road freight • Strategies for a sustainable road freight
sector in Asia

Trucks relatively high emissions impact per truck – China example

• Road accidents– India: trucks 5% of vehicles but 30% of road
accidents– Pakistan: 25% of road accidents involved trucks
• Truck drivers at high risk of getting sexually-transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS
• Noise
Other impacts of trucks
11
Barriers: Technologies & Logistics
Barriers and challenges in adopting cleaner technologies
• Limited applicability and availability of certain technologies (e.g. aerodynamics on slow highways)
• Fragmented technology suppliers network makes access to technologies difficult for carriers
• Limited policies for trucks and introduced much later than for light-duty vehicles– Emission reduction technologies (e.g. Diesel particulate filters)
will only work if legislated
• Limited verification/certification systems for technologies
• Limited case study examples for Asia to build confidence
12
Barriers: Technologies & Logistics

Technology % Fuel Reduction Potential
Aerodynamics 3 to 15Auxiliary loads 1 to 2.5Rolling resistance 4.5 to 9Mass (weight) reduction
2 to 5
Idle reduction 5 to 9Intelligent vehicle 8 to 15

Barriers and challenges in adopting better logistics and operations
• Freight seldom included in design and planning of urban transport systems and policy development
• Shippers seem to have a less direct relationships with carriers
• Long-haul trucks often travel large parts of trips in urban areas
• Limited knowledge and experience with logistics solutions (e.g. drop and hook; standard container sizes)
• Different transport modes covered by different government agencies, making intermodal transport and shift to other freight modes more difficult
Barriers: Technologies & Logistics
14
• Highly fragmented with a majority owner-driver trucks– China, Guangzhou survey: 52% owner-driver trucks– India: 80% of companies have 1-2 trucks, and only
10% of companies have more than 15 trucks
• Old trucks and poor maintenance practices
Barriers: Technologies & Logistics
15
• Overloading– Asia: 52% of trucks 45% over
payload weight limit (Asia Fdn)– Pakistan: 70% of 2-3 axle and
40% of 4-6 axle trucks overloaded– Philippines: 0.5 – 1 billion USD
to repair pavement damage (JICA)
Barriers: Technologies & Logistics
16
• High percentage of empty hauls– China surveys: 40-50% empty miles = 8 billion USD
annual loss – Philippines: 89% delivery vehicles empty return trips – India survey: 37-46% of trips are empty
Barriers: Technologies & Logistics

• Lack of knowledge on green freight especially small trucking companies / driver-owners
• No training program available for all truck drivers– In-house training courses at large trucking companies– Courses provided by private companies (e.g. Scania or
Michelin) to customers
• Lack of an agreed methodologies for fuel and emission measurement
• Limited public information available on freight sector
• Limited recognition for good practice in freight sector (e.g. Award)
Barriers: Knowledge & Capacity
18
• Limited tax policies for truck sector relevant to energy and emissions management
• Investment costs are too high for many companies, even if potential savings are high and payback periods short
• Truck sector not considered most reliable sector for lending (especially small companies and individual truck driver-owners)
• Banks currently start providing loans for new trucks but not for in-use fleet
• ESCOs (energy service companies) established for industry but no experience with trucking fleets
Barriers: Financing
19
• Avoid: reduce the need to travel or the travel– Promotion of local production and consumption– Co-location of facilities within supply chain and
with ports– Improved logistics– Load management
– Example: HCMC (Vietnam): 60% of all food sourced from within city boundaries
Strategies: Avoid
20
• Shift: more energy-efficient modes– Optimization of railways and inland waterways– Different vehicle types that better match the
loads
– Example: DHL improved carbon efficiency by 19% in 2009. Strategies included replacing 60 four-wheelers with 75 motorbikes
Strategies: Shift

• Improve: energy efficient modes, operations, technologies – Fuel economy standards– Stricter implementation of anti-overloading laws – Technological tools, such radio frequency
identification tags (RFID), global positioning systems (GPS) and vehicle routing software
– Example: fuel economy improvement in the ASEAN region from 2015 to 2035 will reduce26% of CO2 emissions from light and heavy duty vehicles
Strategies: Improve
