Accelerating Zero-Emission Trucking Policies

The document outlines strategies to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission trucks (ZETs) through demand, supply, and infrastructure interventions. It highlights a 170 percent surge in global ZET sales since 2020 and provides a tailored roadmap for India to establish a ZET ecosystem across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.

• Global demand for trucking is projected to double by 2050, making the transition to zero-emission trucks essential for energy security, public health, and emissions reduction.
• While global sales of zero-emission trucks have increased by 170 percent since 2020, many regions are still in the early stages of adoption and need ZET-specific policy measures.
• The report proposes a phase-wise policy roadmap for India consisting of short-, medium-, and long-term interventions to support its growing freight sector and ZET deployment.
