The transport sector contributes 8.4% of total emissions in India, with freight transport dominated by heavy-duty trucks playing a major role. Trucks represent just 3% of the vehicle fleet, yet emit 53% of particulate matter. With truck sales projected to grow sixfold to 69 million by 2070-71, addressing freight-related emissions is critical.
Zero-emission trucking (ZET) took the spotlight at recent COP29, with initiatives such as the Global MoU on Zero-Emission Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, and the Zero-Emission Vehicle Declaration.
India is a key player in the Global South, and with advancements in electric buses and initiatives like eFAST, it can spearhead the global transition to ZET.
