The Indian government has announced plans to deploy at least 1,000 hydrogen-powered trucks and buses by 2030.

The government has identified hydrogen as a more practical solution for long-distance freight trucks, offering key advantages over battery-electric alternatives, especially in terms of preserving cargo space and enabling faster refuelling.

Abhay Bakre, Mission Director of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), reportedly outlined at an event that up to 50 hydrogen-powered trucks and buses will be operating this year.

Bakre added, “I hope by 2030, more than 1,000 trucks or buses will be plying and used commercially in the country. That is what we are expecting.”
