Abstract
The urban mobility in India is diverse with busses, (motor-)cycles, cars, barrows, pedestrians and
(auto-)rickshaws moving next to one other on the roads. The motorized vehicles cause severe airpollution,
congestion and produce large amounts of CO₂. A shift from public to private vehicles is
ongoing, which results in more air-pollution and congestion. Auto-rickshaws are one of the transport
modes which form a major share of the air- pollutants. The current urban mobility system in India is
not sustainable, if congestion and air-pollution increase. Future scenarios help by giving insight in
trends and developments, in order to cater for a sustainable mobility system in the future. The
developments in combination with the current urban mobility system, are translated into strategies
for the Tuktuk company. This company aims at implementing an affordable upgrade system for autorickshaws
in India. With this system pollution can be decreased and savings on fuel costs can be
accomplished for the rickshaw drivers.
