Tata Motors, in collaboration with Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari and Union Minister of Consumer Affairs Pralhad Joshi, has launched India's First Hydrogen Truck Trials in New Delhi. The trial phase, spanning up to 24 months, will involve deploying 16 advanced hydrogen-powered heavy duty trucks equipped with Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines (H2-ICE) and Fuel Cell (H2-FCEV) technologies. These trucks will be tested on significant freight routes in cities such as Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi-NCR, among others. Tata Motors Executive Director Girish Wagh highlighted the importance of exploring hydrogen as a viable technology for heavy-duty, long haul transportation, addressing the limitations of battery electric systems. The trials aim to gather feedback on technology performance, infrastructure requirements, commercial viability, and policy support needed for hydrogen deployment. The Union Ministers emphasized the potential of hydrogen to transform India's transportation sector by reducing emissions and enhancing energy self-reliance. This initiative, part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, aligns with the government's commitment to driving innovation and achieving energy independence while contributing to global climate goals. Tata Motors is at the forefront of developing innovative mobility solutions powered by various alternative fuel technologies, including hydrogen.
