Electrifying the NH-66 corridor in Keralam for battery electric trucks
Keralam has set out to build India’s first state-led electric truck corridor along National Highway 66 (NH-66). The corridor runs over 622 km along the state’s western coast, from Kasaragod in the north to Thiruvananthapuram in the south, linking ports, industrial clusters, and urban centers that together anchor Keralam’s coastal freight economy.
Charging needs for truck terminals in India: A case study of Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar, Delhi
India must achieve 100% zero-emission truck (ZET) sales by no later than 2050 to meet its Net-Zero target. Transitioning to battery electric trucks (BETs) in India’s freight operations is key to reaching this goal: previous research by the ICCT has found that BETs emit 17%–37% lower life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than diesel counterparts and 85%–88% lower emissions when powered by dedicated renewable electricity.
Charging infrastructure needed to support India’s full transition to battery electric trucks by 2050
India’s net-zero by 2070 pledge requires achieving 100% zero-emission truck sales by 2050. While viable technologies exist, timely truck decarbonization is crucial to ease pressure on harder-to-abate sectors. Recent policies, including fuel efficiency regulations and the PM E-DRIVE scheme, provide incentives for battery electric trucks and charging infrastructure, but high-power chargers along freight corridors and logistics hubs can help to ensure adoption.
