Decarbonization Trucking

Decarbonization
In India, trucks account for 12.1% of energy-related CO2 emissions and 9.7% of total GHG emissions25 (without LULUCF26). It is essential to reduce emissions from truck movements in India to make progress in reducing global GHG emissions. This can be achieved through improved vehicle efficiency, better use of existing infrastructure, and the use of low-carbon fuels and technologies such as electric trucks adoption.India is taking a number of impressive steps to ensure a more sustainable and efficient transportation system. The National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage is an important initiative that will help India achieve its goals of transitioning to electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. The ethanol blending and biodiesel programs are also important in helping reduce India’s dependence on fossil fuels. The BS-VI standards, comprehensive package for electric vehicles, fleet modernization, and enforcement of fuel consumption standards are all essential steps in improving the efficiency of India’s transportation system. Finally, the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) and NHforEV 2020 are ambitious projects that will help India create a clean and sustainable energy system. All of these policy actions are essential forIndia to move towards a greener and more efficient transportation system.

E-mobility - National mission on transformative mobility and battery storage

The National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage, chaired by the CEO of NITI Aayog, was established in March 2019 to facilitate the transition to e-mobility. The mission is multi-disciplinary and includes an Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee that is comprised of Secretaries from the MoRTH, MoP, MNRE, the DST, the MHI, DPIIT, and Director-General of BIS. The mission is dedicated to helping create a future of cleaner and more efficient transportation systems that are powered by renewable energy sources and advanced battery storage systems.
