Improving the circularity of E-Bus batteries: Status of regulatory framework and end of life management capacities
The measures catalogue is designed to be a practical guide for policy makers and procurement practitioners in transitioning economies to address the needs of policy formulation, procurement tendering, maintenance, and sound end-of-life (EoL) management of E-bus components, particulatly batteries. Alongside the measures catalogue, a series of 3 workshops and study tours were organized in Bogotá, Dar es Salam and New Delhi to present the catalogue to governments, municipalities, and transport agencies. This paper is the result of the study tours and presents short country specific (Colombia, India & Tanzania) summaries on the status quo regarding the electric vehicle targets and market development, regulatory frameworks, and current capacities for EoL management of lithium-Ion batteries.
