Govt sets up EV task force for e-trucks
 
The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) has set up an EV taskforce in which the research agency International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) will lead matters related to electric trucks and supporting infrastructure. The MHI has set up this task force in collaboration with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and other agencies. The transport sector is the fastest-growing contributor to climate change. In India, medium and heavy-duty trucks make for only 2 per cent of the total vehicle population but contribute to 45 per cent of the overall vehicular road transport emissions. Increased uptake of EVs will help India meet the objectives under the Paris Agreement and its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It is, therefore, pertinent that the work on the electrification of trucks be commenced immediately, emphasised a report.
