Indian Army Collaborates with IOCL for Hydrogen-Powered Bus Fleet
Key Ideas
  • Indian Army partners with IOCL for sustainable transport solutions with hydrogen-powered buses.
  • Hydrogen fuel cell bus has a range of 250-300 km on a full tank, emitting only water vapor.
  • IndianOil operating 15 fuel cell buses in Delhi-NCR region, accumulating 300,000 km mileage.
  • Pilot project at Chushul to provide clean electricity to troops using green hydrogen-based microgrid.
Tata Motors, in collaboration with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), delivered a hydrogen fuel cell-powered bus to the Indian Army as part of a wider effort to promote green technology and sustainable transport. The bus, with a seating capacity of 37 passengers, can cover 250-300 km on a full tank of hydrogen, producing only water vapor as a by-product. IndianOil's successful operation of 15 fuel cell buses in the Delhi-NCR region, totaling 300,000 km, showcases the viability and efficiency of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Additionally, a pilot project at Chushul will deploy a green hydrogen-based microgrid to provide round-the-clock clean electricity to troops. The collaboration not only signifies a milestone in transitioning towards a greener future but also underscores the Indian Army's commitment to adopting innovative technologies for operational enhancement and environmental sustainability.
