ICCT to Head E-Truck Taskforce in India

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has been appointed to lead a task force focused on electric trucks in India. This initiative underscores the growing momentum towards electrification in the transportation sector and aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the commercial trucking segment.

As the lead organisation for the task force, ICCT will play a crucial role in coordinating efforts among various stakeholders, including government agencies, industry players, and research institutions. The task force will work towards addressing key challenges and facilitating the widespread deployment of electric trucks across India.

India's transition to electric trucks is seen as a critical step towards reducing emissions, improving air quality, and achieving sustainable transportation goals. By promoting the adoption of EVs in the commercial trucking sector, the task force aims to contribute to India's broader efforts to combat climate change and promote clean energy solutions.

The appointment of ICCT to lead the electric truck task force reflects the organisation's expertise in clean transportation and its track record of driving impactful initiatives worldwide. Leveraging its knowledge and experience, ICCT will guide the development of policies, regulations, and technical standards to support the growth of the electric truck market in India.

The establishment of the task force signals a collaborative approach towards advancing electric mobility in India's urban transportation landscape. By bringing together stakeholders from across the industry, the task force aims to accelerate the transition to electric trucks and pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future for transportation in the country.
