Indians travel nearly 5,000 kilometres (km) each year, a threefold increase since 2000. Vehicle ownership per person has grown five‐fold since 2000, with particularly significant growth in the fleet of two and three‐wheelers (2Ws & 3Ws).
3Ws provide shared mobility and public transport, complementing a relatively low stock of 2 million buses that serve mass and public transport needs. 2Ws & 3Ws have grown faster than any other mode of personal transport in the last decade. The average daily distance travelled by 2Ws in Indian cities is about 27−33 km with a maximum of 86 km and the average annual distance travelled is about 8800 km with a maximum of 22,500 km. The high share of 2Ws & 3Ws in India’s vehicle fleet is the reason why personal vehicles account for only 18 percent of its overall transport emissions and 36 percent even if 2Ws & 3Ws are added. This is much lower than in many other countries; in the United States (US), passenger cars account for 57 percent of total transport emissions.
