Indian Army Collaborates with Indian Oil for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Trials
Key Ideas
  • Indian Army partners with Indian Oil for hydrogen fuel cell bus trials, emphasizing sustainable transport solutions.
  • Hydrogen fuel cell technology explained: zero emissions and efficient conversion of hydrogen to electricity for electric vehicles.
  • Indian Army's focus on innovation includes plans for introducing electric vehicles and green energy solutions at peace stations across India.
  • MoU with NTPCREL for green hydrogen-based microgrid power plants aims to provide clean energy at Northern Borders for troops.
The Indian Army has initiated a partnership with the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to conduct demonstration trials of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus technology. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in the presence of key officials aiming to promote innovation and sustainable transport solutions. Indian Oil presented a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus with impressive mileage and zero emissions, showcasing the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology. In addition to the focus on hydrogen, the Indian Army has shown a commitment to environmental responsibility by introducing electric vehicles at 'Peace Stations' across India. Plans include the procurement of over 110 electric vehicles, including buses, cars, and motorcycles, to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and embrace green energy. Furthermore, the Indian Army has signed another MoU with NTPCREL to install Green Hydrogen-based Microgrid Power Plants along the Northern Borders, providing clean electricity to troops in challenging terrains. These initiatives demonstrate a positive shift towards sustainability and technological advancements within the Indian Army.
