In a significant move towards sustainable transportation and India's ambitious net-zero emissions target by 2070, Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Pralhad Joshi flagged off the first-ever trials of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks by Tata Motors in New Delhi. The launch event highlighted the transformative potential of hydrogen as a fuel for the future, with an emphasis on reducing emissions and enhancing energy self-reliance. The initiative, funded by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, aims to evaluate the commercial viability of hydrogen-powered trucks for long-distance haulage and develop the necessary infrastructure for their seamless operation. Over the next two years, 16 advanced hydrogen-powered trucks with various technologies will be tested on key freight routes across India. Tata Motors reaffirmed its dedication to sustainable mobility and zero-emission long-haul transport solutions, aligning with the Government of India's vision for cleaner and more efficient transportation. The trials mark a crucial step in India's green energy transition and showcase the country's commitment to innovation, energy independence, and global climate goals through the National Green Hydrogen Mission. This initiative represents a major advancement in India's adoption of clean energy solutions to reduce the carbon footprint in the transportation sector.
