Decarbonization of freight is complex. In any country. And India comes with its own challenges.
I am joined by Nitant Kumar, from Climate Group, who is in charge of the EV100 and EV100+ campaigns in the country to understand how their global campaign is faring in India. We explore the on-ground bottlenecks to adoption, the critical role of demand signaling, and the identification of use cases with potential for green transformation.
While large vans, trucks, and other medium and heavy-duty freight vehicles (MHDVs) make up just 2% of all road vehicles in India, they are responsible for a staggering 45% of all road emissions.
Their new campaign, EV100+, targets vehicles weighing over 7.5 tons and is paving the way for a greener freight ecosystem in India.
