India Plans to Deploy Over 1,000 Hydrogen Buses and Trucks by 2030
India is set to make a transformative leap in sustainable mobility, with plans to deploy over 1,000 hydrogen-powered buses and trucks by 2030. This ambitious initiative, part of the government’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, is designed to decarbonize the country’s long-haul transport sector, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and position India as a global leader in hydrogen technology.
The government has identified hydrogen as a practical and scalable solution for medium and heavy commercial vehicles, especially for long-distance freight and passenger transport. While battery electric vehicles are increasingly used for last-mile delivery, they face limitations in range and payload for long-haul operations. Hydrogen-powered vehicles, with their high energy density and faster refueling times, offer a compelling alternative to diesel trucks and buses, preserving cargo space and maximizing operational efficiency.
