India and California decide to collaborate on emission-free vehicles

03 Oct 2022 CW Team

In order to advance its budding EV sector and mitigate climate threats, India has partnered with California for research and innovation in the field of zero-emission vehicles.

The most cutting-edge zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulations are found in California. Its mandate for 100% ZEV by 2035 is ambitious. A new India ZEV Research Centre was developed as part of the collaboration with the University of California's Davis Institute of Transportation Studies.

The California-India ZEV Policy programme aims to encourage the use of ZEVs in India, promote the formation of an EV sector there, and boost India's industrial development.

It would also pinpoint chances for India to establish itself as a strategic leader in the global ZEV transition in addition to addressing policy, technological, and investment strategies for a ZEV transition.
