Tata Motors is advocating for the inclusion of hydrogen-internal combustion engine (H2-ICE) technology in the government's Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, seeking incentives similar to those for electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells. This move comes as a response to the limitations of battery electric vehicles in heavy-duty applications and the efficiency of H2-ICE with lower-grade hydrogen. The company is currently trialing hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks with operational ranges of 300-500 km, showcasing the viability of hydrogen in commercial vehicles. With India's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, Tata Motors aims to achieve carbon neutrality in the commercial vehicle segment by 2045 through innovative powertrain approaches and collaborations. The government's PLI scheme, with a substantial budget, is designed to enhance manufacturing capabilities in advanced automotive technologies, address cost challenges, and strengthen the supply chain. Notably, companies like Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors have already made claims under the PLI scheme for incremental production. The article highlights Tata Motors' leadership in the market, its participation in trials for H2-ICE-powered vehicles funded by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, and its efforts to establish infrastructure for hydrogen-powered vehicles across key freight routes in India. Overall, the article underscores the positive strides towards incorporating hydrogen technology in the automotive sector and India's commitment to sustainable practices.
